Enterprise - Oracle + Chat GPT Plus (personal)

What issue are you seeing?
What happened?
Codex CLI honors reasoning-effort settings from ~/.codex/config.toml, but Codex Desktop / app wrapper appears to ignore them.
Config
~/.codex/config.toml:
model_reasoning_effort = "medium"
plan_mode_reasoning_effort = "high"
### What steps can reproduce the bug?
Set the config.toml properties as described, manually set the resoning effort to Low and then enter /plan.
### What is the expected behavior?
The reasoning effort should be updated to High on the Codex App.
