What steps can reproduce the bug?

Create a detached head state in your local git repo, set Codex to use cloud and your local changes. Codex will never kick off a cloud job, and will always fail with an error.

The job should kick off in the cloud.

What do you see instead?

An error banner across the top of the screen saying the job could not be started.
