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

What subscription do you have?

ChatGPT Pro

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?
