Error Message

Observed error:

RAW_BUFFERClick to expand / collapse

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

OpenAI.Codex_26.513.3673.0_x64__2p2nqsd0c76g0

What subscription do you have?

After updating Codex Desktop on Windows, all local historical sessions across multiple projects fail to resume.

What platform is your computer?

No response

What issue are you seeing?

This is what the codex ask me to copy.

Observed error: cannot resume running thread ... with stale path: requested C:\Users<user>.codex\sessions...\rollout-<id>.jsonl, active \?\C:\Users<user>.codex\sessions...\rollout-<id>.jsonl

Environment:

  • Windows Codex Desktop: OpenAI.Codex_26.513.3673.0_x64__2p2nqsd0c76g0
  • New session cli_version: 0.131.0-alpha.9
  • Older affected sessions: 0.130.0-alpha.5

Evidence:

  • rollout .jsonl files exist and parse correctly
  • state_5.sqlite contains mixed path spellings
  • .codex-global-state.json also contains mixed workspace roots
  • reopening the new client rewrites paths back to \?...

Expected: Codex should canonicalize Windows paths before stale-path comparison. C:...\file.jsonl and \?\C:...\file.jsonl should be treated as the same file.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Just Open the history chat.

What is the expected behavior?
