Root Cause

Mac OS suddenly warned me while I was in the middle of a codex session that it couldn't execute the codex app because it was malware. After that I hit ok and the app keeps working but suddenly all my conversations in the last 1 to 2 months got deleted. I had a lot of important conversations in there that where work related and now are gone. This is unacceptable for a company as big as open ai. This came after the latest update I did to codex. I have already restarted the app as well as my computer. If this doesn't get solved I will file a formal complaint and possibly cancel the subscription both for me and my company employees. Truly unacceptable.
