Codex app: /status shows no output in app mode, while terminal mode still works after update
What version of Codex is running?
Codex.app 26.519.41501 (bundle build 3044)
Which model are you using?
Unknown / not relevant
What platform is your computer?
macOS 26.5 (arm64)
What happened?
After updating the desktop app, /status behaves differently depending on the UI mode:
- In app mode, running
/statusproduces no output at all. - In terminal mode,
/statusstill returns output, but the contents/format have changed compared with before the update.
At around the same time, the attachment menu under the small + button also changed from showing something like Attach openclaw to Attach terminal.
This makes it look like a regression in the app-mode status UI or in how app mode resolves the current attached context after the update.
Steps to reproduce
- Update Codex desktop to
26.519.41501. - Open the desktop app.
- In app mode, run
/status. - Observe that nothing is rendered.
- Switch to terminal mode and run
/statusagain. - Observe that
/statusworks there, but the output differs from what it used to show before the update.
What did you expect to happen?
/status should render normally in app mode, and ideally show consistent status information across app mode and terminal mode.
Relevant local observations
I found a related local gateway log line while checking status behavior:
2026-05-22T21:42:40.167+08:00 [ws] ⇄ res ✗ status 418ms errorCode=UNAVAILABLE errorMessage=Error: Cannot find module '/opt/homebrew/lib/node_modules/openclaw/dist/task-registry.maintenance-D7xGxcBi.js' imported from /opt/homebrew/lib/node_modules/openclaw/dist/status.summary-BVcu79J1.js': code=ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND
I can't confirm whether this exact log line is from the same failing app-mode invocation, but it seemed relevant because it references the status summary path directly.
Can you help us reproduce this? Which part of the product are you using?
Codex desktop app on macOS, specifically the in-app slash command UI (/status) and the app/terminal mode switch.
