Summary

Custom pet active-state animations on Codex Desktop for macOS play only once, then fall back to idle even while the app remains in the active state.

Environment

  • Codex Desktop: macOS

What steps can reproduce the bug?

  1. Install a custom pet package under ~/.codex/pets/<pet-id>/.
  2. Select the custom pet in Codex Desktop Settings > Appearance > Pets.
  3. Start a task that triggers an active pet state, such as running, waiting, or review.
  4. Observe the pet animation.

The active-state animation plays once, then falls back to idle even though the app is still in the active state.

What is the expected behavior?

The active-state animation should keep looping while the app remains in that active state.

Additional information

The same pet package appears to keep the expected active animation on Codex Mobile, so the package itself seems valid.
