输入任何信息都无法创建新对话，只有 codex app这样，cli 和 vsCode 中都没有问题；卸载codex app 重新安装还是不能解决

What issue are you seeing?
Entering any information cannot create a new conversation. This only happens in the Codex app; there are no issues in the CLI or VS Code. Uninstalling and reinstalling the Codex app still does not resolve it.

只有这一个mcp相关配置只有这些，config.toml 文件内容；并且这个mcp 卸载后，重启应用会再次自动创建出来，和其他的问题不同，并且设置为 false后再次提问会自动将 enabled 删除
哥们，我的问题和你一样，你解决了吗，怎么解决的
没有解决，现在只能用codex cli 去 新建对话，然后在桌面程序使用；让codex 直接解决很长时间都没成功
已经解决了，用workBuddy 修复了这个问题；

这个办法能解决
