Commit button not usable if I initialise the git after I add the code

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

260210.1703 (build 602)

What subscription do you have?

20$ / month

What issue are you seeing?

The Commit button is disabled (not clickable) even though the repo has uncommitted files. In the same state, the changes pane can show no unstaged changes even when git status in terminal shows untracked files. Restarting Codex makes the button become clickable again.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Open Codex with project workspace.
Make sure the git root is the parent folder of your project.
While Codex is open, change git root from parent folder to project folder.
Create or have uncommitted files (confirmed with git status).
Return to Codex without restarting; Commit stays disabled and change list may appear empty.
Restart Codex; changes appear correctly and Commit becomes enabled.

What is the expected behavior?
