What issue are you seeing?
A Codex VS Code thread opens with the correct title, but the conversation body is empty, so I cannot inspect or continue the thread from the IDE.
What I checked locally:
- The transcript file exists:
~/.codex/sessions/2026/04/25/rollout-2026-04-25T12-33-16-019dc433-672c-74b0-8439-a04b145add41.jsonl
- The JSONL validates successfully with
jq -c . file >/dev/null. - Codex SQLite state points to that file.
- The thread is not archived.
- The VS Code UI renders the title but no messages.
SQLite row:
id=019dc433-672c-74b0-8439-a04b145add41
title=Scaffold vukomat existdb upgrade
archived=0
source=vscode
cwd=/Users/ttasovac/Development/ttasovac/raskovnik-frontend
cli_version=0.125.0-alpha.3
One suspicious detail: the threads.has_user_event value is 0 even though the transcript JSONL contains user messages.
What steps can reproduce the bug?
I can provide the affected local transcript privately if useful.
What is the expected behavior?
