TL;DR

The issue with Codex fetching old chats may be related to the version or configuration of the Codex CLI or VS Code integration.

Guidance

  • Verify that the Codex CLI is properly configured and authenticated to access chat history.
  • Check the VS Code terminal emulator settings to ensure that it is not interfering with the Codex CLI output.
  • Try running the Codex CLI outside of VS Code to see if the issue persists.
  • Review the Codex documentation for any known issues or limitations with chat history loading.

Notes

The provided information is limited, and without more details about the error message or Codex configuration, it's difficult to provide a more specific solution.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Try running the Codex CLI outside of VS Code or check the Codex documentation for troubleshooting guides, as the issue may be related to the integration or configuration.
