What issue are you seeing?

Issue described in my feedback: 019ec329-56d2-76a1-a2f5-8b888a42a140

A root project folder rename is causing the project to fail completely and there's no way to reattach it to a renamed folder root. This is a real problem where we need to reorganise our structure to reflect company changes. It's the second time we had to rename our Codex' project root folder name and thus it's forcing us to recreate projects from scratch and loose all previous useful context and history.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Just rename an existing codex's project folder name and that's it - you're done. You have to recreate all from scratch because there's no option to reattach the project to the exact same project root.

What is the expected behavior?

A simple option to point existing project to the same root under a different folder name. This should have been implemented from the outset and it's normal for users to have to rename folders' names - it's a standard operation like CRUD.
