What subscription do you have?
Enterprise
What platform is your computer?
Darwin 25.3.0 arm64 arm
What issue are you seeing?
Usually there's an option to start a thread in a new worktree somewhere around the composer. But since I installed the latest update it seems to have disappeared? Or has it been moved? Raising a bug, as I'm not sure either way.

Same issue for me. This user said the feature disappeared for them and came back with an update, but I'm on the latest version and the worktree option is gone for ssh connected codex instances

A workaround that can be done from the desktop app is to just start a local chat, right-click it, and fork it into a new worktree.
Edit: or more simpy, just use the handoff to worktree button from the right floating side panel in the chat. It's still showing for me even if the option isn't there when starting the chat.
Looks to be fixed in the latest release!
I have this issue in 26.623.141536, when working with a VPS added over ssh to codex
