💡 Likely answer: A maintainer (github-actions[bot], contributor) responded on this thread — see the highlighted reply below.

What version of the Codex App are you using (From “About Codex” dialog)?

26.608.12217

What subscription do you have?

Pro

What platform is your computer?

Darwin 25.5.0 arm64 arm

What issue are you seeing?

After spawning subagents, the main thread shows that agents were created and completed, but selecting/opening a subagent no longer displays its transcript. The right-side subagent panel remains blank/loading.

Subagent name is not clickable in main chat.

When a subagent asks for permission, the request gets lost and is never propagated to the user.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Ask main agent to spawn a subagent.

What is the expected behavior?

The selected subagent’s transcript/activity should be visible in the Codex App, consistent with the documented behavior that subagent activity is surfaced in the Codex app.

Additional information

The issue remained even after a complete reinstall of Codex App, Codex CLI and removing ~/.codex dir.

My setup is a bare repo with manually created git worktrees.

I am also seeing this on Codex App 26.608.12217, macOS 26.5.1 (Darwin 25.5.0 arm64).

In my case, after a subagent is dispatched and started, if I open the subagent conversation from the status/progress area while it is still running, the subagent transcript usually fails to load. Most of the time the panel stays blank or stuck in a loading state, so I cannot inspect the subagent's conversation history.

I am also seeing a related regression: the model used by the subagent is no longer visible, so there is no clear way to verify which model/runtime a subagent is using.

Expected behavior:

Opening a running or completed subagent from the status/progress area should reliably load its transcript.
The UI should continue to show the model used by each subagent.
