What issue are you seeing?

Mac local Codex sessions are visible on ChatGPT mobile.
Mac Codex App SSH remote sessions on ECS are not visible on mobile.
Mac Codex App can open and use the ECS remote project normally.
ECS starts:
codex app-server --listen unix://
codex app-server proxy
ECS codex version: 0.134.0
Mac bundled codex: 0.133.0-alpha.1
ECS ~/.codex/state_5.sqlite contains the newly created remote threads.
Old Cursor/Codex app-server processes were cleaned; issue still reproduces.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

  1. On macOS, install the latest Codex App and enable mobile remote control from Settings > Connections.
  2. Pair the macOS Codex App host with ChatGPT mobile by scanning the QR code.
  3. Verify that ChatGPT mobile can see local projects/sessions from the macOS Codex App.
  4. Configure a generic SSH host entry in ~/.ssh/config.
  5. On the remote Linux host, install and log in to Codex CLI.
  6. From the macOS Codex App, open a project on the remote Linux host over SSH.
  7. Start a new session in that SSH remote project, for example ask Codex to run a simple shell command or read a generic file.
  8. On the remote Linux host, confirm that the Codex App started the remote app-server/proxy.
  9. On the remote Linux host, confirm that the new remote session exists in the Codex state database.
  10. Open ChatGPT mobile > Codex and select the paired macOS host.
  11. Observe that local sessions from the macOS host are visible, but the SSH remote project/session created above is not shown.

What is the expected behavior?
