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

26.313.41514 (1043)

What subscription do you have?

enteprise

What platform is your computer?

macos

What issue are you seeing?

When spawning sub agents we can see the sub agent as a subset of the thread, but when automatic context compaction is done the subagents disappear.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

  • create two subagents
  • fill in the context until automatic compact
  • the two subagents will disappear

What is the expected behavior?

the whole thread subagents should be present not only the subagents that were creating after context compaction
