2026-02-12T20:29:52.847775Z ERROR codex_core::rollout::list: state db missing rollout path for thread 019c538b-8d9d-78d1-891c-a9b09f3f47b6

When I try and resume a session that I've just created via codex exec

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Following a fresh wipe:

rm -rf ~/.codex

Once I log-in to Codex, I run:

The output is:

I try and resume the conversation via:

And I see the following output:

Specifically, I see the error:

I have confirmed that ~/.codex/sessions/2026/02/12/rollout-2026-02-12T20-29-40-019c538b-8d9d-78d1-891c-a9b09f3f47b6.jsonl exists as a file

What is the expected behavior?

I expect to not see any error
