What issue are you seeing?
In the thread list, some conversation titles are automatically saved with malformed suffix text that looks like parser/correction output, instead of a clean summary of my prompt.

What steps can reproduce the bug?
- Open Codex desktop app and create a new thread.
- Ask Codex to perform a task that may trigger tool/runtime errors (in my case: creating a new skill).
- Let the run hit an error-like response (examples I saw: missing dependency message like PyYAML not installed, or a fork/collab-related error during git/fork workflow).
- Return to the thread list and check the auto-generated title.
- Sometimes the title is corrupted with error/correction-like fragments instead of a clean summary.
It occurs intermittently. My guess is that it tends to happen when an error occurs in the thread.
What is the expected behavior?
Thread title should always be a clean natural-language summary of the conversation, without parser/correction/error-like fragments.
