Codex App 26.608.12217: local file references in assistant responses are not clickable

What happened?

In Codex App, assistant responses no longer render local file references as clickable links. They appear only as gray inline-code pills and cannot be opened from the response.

Version

Codex App 26.608.12217

Platform

macOS

Steps to reproduce

1. Open any Codex App thread in a workspace.
2. Ask the assistant to output a local file reference with a line number.
3. Try both absolute and workspace-relative paths, for example:

/Users/lxd/work/Demo/app/src/main/java/com/demo/app/ui/BackupFragment.java:77
app/src/main/java/com/demo/app/ui/BackupFragment.java:77

Expected behavior

The file references should be clickable and should open the target file/line in Codex App.

Actual behavior

The references render as inline-code gray pills and are not clickable. This happens for both absolute paths and workspace-relative paths, and for both tracked source files and ignored local docs files.

Notes

This looks related to prior file-link regressions, but I could not find an exact report for Codex App 26.608.12217:
