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

Version 26.415.20818 (1727)

What subscription do you have?

ChatGPT Pro

What platform is your computer?

Darwin 24.6.0 arm64 arm

What issue are you seeing?

Creating a chat in a remote project, if the project path involves upper case, it would result in a missing current working directory warning.

For example, in a test case, I have:

/home/clouder/cert
/home/clouder/Test

Opening /home/clouder/cert is fine, and asking Codex gives /home/clouder/cert pwd.

However, opening /home/clouder/Test leads to missing directory, and asking gives /home/clouder/test path, which is lowercase.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Create a folder which involves upper case.

mkdir Test

Open it as a remote project in Codex App, then create a chat, and it yields the error.

What is the expected behavior?

This issue seems solved in latest version, just remove the folder from codex app and add again, it supports uppercase now.
