macOS: file paths in chat are not clickable (e.g. /Users/.../Foo.cs:116)

Summary

In the Codex desktop app on macOS, file path references in chat messages are no longer clickable. Previously, I could click a path like /Users/.../Foo.cs:116 to open the file (and jump to the line). Now it renders as plain text/inline code and cannot be opened by clicking.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open the Codex desktop app on macOS.
  2. Send/receive a message that includes an absolute file path with a line number, e.g.
  • /Users/<username>/project/Assets/Scripts/Foo.cs:116
  1. Also try with backticks (inline code), e.g.
  • ` /Users/<username>/project/Assets/Scripts/Foo.cs:116 `
  1. Click the rendered path in the message.

Expected behavior

Clicking the file path opens the file in the configured editor (or at least triggers an “open file” action), ideally jumping to the specified line.

Actual behavior

The path is displayed, but it is not clickable and nothing opens.

Environment

  • OS: macOS 26.4.1 (arm64)
  • Codex: Desktop app (version unknown; please tell me where to find it if needed)

Additional context

  • This appears to be a regression (used to work).
  • I have a screenshot of the rendering if helpful.
