codex - 💡(How to fix) Fix Switching global provider hides previous sessions from the sidebar [1 comments, 2 participants]

TL;DR

The issue can be addressed by modifying the session filtering logic to include sessions from all providers, not just the currently selected one.

Guidance

• Review the session filtering logic to determine why sessions from previous providers are being excluded from the sidebar.
• Consider adding a UI indicator to show which sessions belong to the current provider and which do not, to make the filtering explicit.
• Investigate the possibility of adding a toggle or setting to allow users to view sessions from all providers, regardless of the current global provider.
• Verify that the session data is still being stored and retrieved correctly when the global provider is switched, to rule out any data loss or retrieval issues.

Notes

The exact implementation details will depend on the specific architecture and technologies used in the Codex app, which are not specified in the issue.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround by modifying the session filtering logic to include sessions from all providers, as this will provide the expected behavior of retaining visibility of previous sessions after switching providers.
