codex - 💡(How to fix) Fix Clicking GPT-5.5 in non-project Codex Desktop chats has no effect [2 comments, 3 participants]

TL;DR

The issue can be resolved by investigating and fixing the conditional logic that handles model selection in the Codex Desktop app, specifically for chats not attached to any project.

Guidance

• Review the code responsible for handling model selection in the Codex Desktop app to identify the conditional logic that differentiates between project-based and non-project chats.
• Verify that the model selection API or function is being called correctly for non-project chats and that the response is being handled as expected.
• Check for any project-specific flags or settings that might be interfering with model selection in non-project chats.
• Test the model selection functionality in different scenarios, including chats with and without projects, to ensure consistency in behavior.

Example

No code snippet can be provided without more context, but the investigation should focus on the model selection handler and any conditional statements related to project attachment.

Notes

The issue seems to be specific to the Codex Desktop app and its handling of model selection in non-project chats. Without access to the app's codebase, it's challenging to provide a more detailed solution.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround by checking the app's settings or preferences for any options related to model selection or project attachment that might resolve the issue, as upgrading to a fixed version is not mentioned as an option in the provided context.
