What issue are you seeing?

On iPad, the ChatGPT app freezes when opening a Codex remote conversation/thread detail.

The remote conversation list loads successfully. The freeze happens after tapping into a conversation/thread detail from that list.

Observed behavior:

Remote conversation list: loads
Opening conversation/thread detail: freezes

Client:

iPadOS version: 26.5
ChatGPT app version on iPad: 1.2026.125 (25565698938)

Remote setup:

Codex remote is configured as a direct SSH connection to the host.
Codex Desktop is not used for this remote connection.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

  1. Use an iPad running:

``text
iPadOS 26.5
ChatGPT app 1.2026.125 (25565698938)
``

  1. Configure Codex remote as a direct SSH connection to the host Mac.
  1. Open the Codex remote conversation list in the ChatGPT app.
  1. Wait for the conversation list to load.
  1. Tap into a conversation/thread detail.
  1. The app freezes after entering the conversation/thread detail.

What is the expected behavior?

The iPad ChatGPT app should open the selected Codex remote conversation/thread detail without freezing.
