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.
