Codex Desktop Windows sidebar no longer groups existing project chats under project after update.

Codex Desktop Windows sidebar no longer groups existing project chats under project after update.

Desktop Codex updated earlier today. In the Windows desktop app, project "Templates" does not show its existing chats under the project. The same chats are visible under Templates on Android Codex.

Local paths involved:

• Expected project path: W:\BMA Shared\Templates
• Same folder also appears as: \\192.168.1.202\BMA projects\BMA Shared\Templates

Evidence:

• Windows File Explorer shows W: mapped correctly to \\192.168.1.202\BMA projects.
• Codex thread lookup still finds the missing chats, with cwd W:\BMA Shared\Templates.
• Chats can be pinned and accessed from pinned, but they do not appear under the project in the desktop sidebar.
• Restarting Codex and restarting Windows did not fix it.
• Android Codex shows all chats correctly under Templates.

Expected:
Desktop should show the same project chats under Templates, or normalize W: and UNC paths to the same project.

Actual:
Desktop sidebar hides/misgroups the chats under the project.

Minimal repro:

1. Open Templates project on Windows Desktop.
2. Create a new chat with only the message: xxx
3. Close Codex Desktop.
4. Reopen Codex Desktop.
5. The new chat no longer appears under Templates.

The thread still exists:
019ebcf7-694c-7cf2-9012-93c5728c346c

Search finds it as "Update xxx", and the local JSONL file exists, but it is not grouped under the project.

This proves the issue affects newly-created chats too, not only older migrated chats.
