extent analysis

TL;DR

The issue with the task list on the sidebar getting stuck on the latest task may be resolved by investigating the task execution process and its completion criteria.

Guidance

  • Review the task list execution logic to ensure it correctly marks tasks as completed when finished.
  • Verify that the task completion criteria are met for the last task in the list.
  • Check for any potential asynchronous operation issues that might prevent the task list from updating correctly.
  • Investigate if there are any known issues or bugs in version 26.429.30905 of the Codex App related to task list handling.

Notes

The provided information does not give direct insight into the code or specific implementation details, so the guidance is focused on general troubleshooting steps.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Since the issue seems related to the task list not updating correctly, try to manually refresh the task list or restart the Codex App to see if it resolves the issue temporarily.
