Bug report: native Git UI controls are missing in Codex desktop on my new Mac.
New laptop:
- Codex Version 26.623.70822
- Released 30 Jun 2026
- macOS desktop app
- Signed out/in and restarted Codex
- Restarted laptop
- Settings appear similar to my old laptop
Old laptop:
- Codex Version 26.623.31921
- Released Jun 26, 2026
- Same account
- Git UI controls still appear normally
Problem:
On the new laptop, local Git projects no longer show the native Codex Git controls in the right panel. I only see generic tools such as Terminal, Browser, Files, or Sources.
Expected:
For local Git projects, the right panel should show the Git environment controls, including:
- Environment
- Changes
- Local / Worktree selector
- Branch selector
- Commit or push
Actual:
Those controls are missing across multiple projects.
Projects tested:
- codex-common-core
- moodle-sql
Diagnostics:
- Local Git repos are valid.
- moodle-sql is on main tracking origin/main.
- codex-common-core has pending Git changes, but still no Changes / Commit or push UI appears.
- The GitHub plugin “Try in chat” works on the new laptop. It can access private repos, identify branch/workspace state, and inspect PRs/issues/checks.
- This suggests GitHub auth/plugin access is working, but the native Codex desktop Git UI surface is missing or disabled.
Additional context:
The official Codex manual describes built-in Git tools in the app, including diff/review, staging or reverting chunks/files, commit, push, and PR creation. The old laptop still shows these controls; the new laptop does not.
Impact:
This breaks my normal Codex-to-GitHub workflow. I can no longer commit/push from the app UI and have to leave the flow or use alternate publishing routes.
Please investigate whether this is a regression or local app state issue in 26.623.70822.
