codex - 💡(How to fix) Fix Codex App remote project conversations disappear from local sidebar, but still exist on the remote server

What version of the Codex App are you using (From “About Codex” dialog)?

26.519.81530

What subscription do you have?

api

What platform is your computer?

Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.26200.0 x64

What issue are you seeing?

I am using Codex App on Windows with an SSH remote project on a Linux server.

For this remote project, conversations sometimes disappear from the local Codex App sidebar. However, the conversations are not actually deleted. If I SSH into the remote server, I can still find the records under:

~/.codex/session_index.jsonl
~/.codex/sessions/
~/.codex/archived_sessions/

The remote session_index.jsonl still contains the conversation entries, and the corresponding rollout-*.jsonl files still exist under ~/.codex/sessions/ or ~/.codex/archived_sessions/.

So the problem appears to be that Codex App does not reliably display or sync remote project sessions in the local sidebar, even though the remote server still has the session records.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

1. Open Codex App on Windows.
2. Connect to a Linux server using SSH remote projects.
3. Open a remote project, for example /path/to/remote/project.
4. Start several conversations in that remote project.
5. wait a minute or reopen Codex App.
6. Some remote project conversations no longer appear in the local Codex App sidebar.
7. SSH into the remote server and inspect the remote Codex files:

cat ~/.codex/session_index.jsonl
find ~/.codex/sessions ~/.codex/archived_sessions -type f -name 'rollout-*.jsonl'

What is the expected behavior?

Remote project conversations that exist in the remote server's Codex history should appear in the Codex App sidebar when I open the corresponding remote project.
