I hide this in each of the project I'm working on, then when I switch between sessions, the task list auto-expands. I don't want to look at it, please can it not remember my preference (i.e. I collapsed it manually?)

What steps can reproduce the bug?

  • Give Codex some work
  • It creates and expands a long task list
  • Click on the header to collapse the list
  • Switch to some other session then back to this one, the list auto-expands

What is the expected behavior?

It should remember my preference and not show me the list for the session I collapsed it for.

TL;DR

The issue can be potentially resolved by adjusting the Codex App's session management or task list persistence settings.

Guidance

  • Investigate the Codex App's settings for an option to control task list persistence across sessions.
  • Check if there's a specific configuration or preference that can be set to remember the collapsed state of the task list.
  • Consider reaching out to the Codex App support team for guidance on achieving the desired behavior.
  • Review the app's documentation for any information on session management and task list settings.

Notes

The provided information does not include specific details about the Codex App's configuration options or APIs, so a definitive solution cannot be provided.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Adjust the Codex App's settings or configuration to control task list persistence, if possible, as the current behavior is not meeting the user's expectations.
