What issue are you seeing?

I connected Codex App to an SSH host named <remote computer> The connection succeeds.

The logs show:

remote-ssh-discovered:<remote computer>=connected
remote app-server version: 0.142.5

When I create a new Remote project and enter an existing folder, such as /Users/<remote computer>, the folder picker shows:

Unable to load this folder

The form also shows:

Choose an existing folder on this remote host.

The Add project button stays disabled.

I checked the logs around 2026-07-07 13:04 UTC. I do not see a normal fs/readDirectory or fs/getMetadata request for that folder at the time the picker fails.

The installed app bundle shows the modal calls remote-workspace-directory-entries. That handler should stat and read the remote folder. It looks like that lookup fails or does not reach the normal app-server directory-read path.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

What is the expected behavior?
