What issue are you seeing?

chatgpt for ios 1.2026.125 tried to connect to the codeX client via ChatGPT, but it kept getting stuck at "waiting for desktop"

What steps can reproduce the bug?

I suspect the issue is caused by having two Codex clients, one for Windows and one for macOS, so I tried to close the Windows Codex and terminate the processes, leaving only the macOS Codex online, but I still couldn't connect.

What is the expected behavior?
