What version of the Codex App are you using?

Codex App 26.506.31421

What platform is your computer?

macOS (Apple Silicon)

What issue are you seeing?

The following UI actions do nothing when clicked:

  • Settings
  • ローカルで作業 / Local Work
  • ブランチ切り替え / Branch Switching

The app does not crash, but these actions are no-op.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open the Codex desktop app
  2. Click Settings
  3. Click ローカルで作業
  4. Click ブランチ切り替え

What I already tried

  • reinstalling the app
  • downgrading the app
  • restarting the app
  • clearing cache / session storage
  • cleaning local Codex state

The problem still reproduces.

Update: after restarting the Mac itself, the issue disappeared and the buttons started working again.

So in my case, reinstalling / downgrading the app did not help, but a full macOS reboot did.
