Slack connector shows connected but Codex returns invalid_auth_token

Hi team,
I’m trying to use the Slack connector in Codex, and the connector appears connected in Settings > Connectors. I can see my Slack workspaces listed there as connected.
However, when Codex tries to read Slack, the tool calls fail with:
invalid_auth_token
What I already tried:
- connected Slack recently
- refreshed the page
- retried in the same chat
- verified the workspace appears under Settings > Connectors
Observed behavior:
- UI shows Slack as connected
- Codex cannot read Slack data and consistently returns
invalid_auth_token
Expected behavior:
- once Slack shows as connected, Codex should be able to read Slack context successfully
This looks like a stale or mismatched backend token/session rather than a missing setup step in the UI.
If helpful, I can also provide the connected workspace names shown in Connectors and the approximate time I reconnected Slack.
