TL;DR

The issue might be resolved by checking the host ID configuration or the connection settings in the Codex App.

Guidance

  • Verify the host ID configuration in the Codex App settings to ensure it matches the expected value.
  • Check the error message for any clues about the missing connection, such as the local host ID.
  • Investigate the getConnection function in the workspace-root-drop-handler-Cr2t_88z.js file to understand how the connection is established.
  • Try resetting the Codex App to its default settings or reinstalling the app to see if the issue persists.

Notes

The provided error message suggests a connection issue, but without more information about the Codex App's configuration or the expected behavior, it's difficult to provide a more specific solution.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Try resetting the Codex App to its default settings or reinstalling the app to see if the issue persists, as this may resolve any configuration issues that are causing the connection error.
