What issue are you seeing?

After updating Codex to the latest version, a bug occurred. Modifying the configuration file revealed that Codex would change differently depending on the configuration file, as described below

What steps can reproduce the bug?

When the model_reasoning_effort attribute in the config.toml configuration file is not empty, CodeX:

ChatGPT/CodeX toggle options: Show
Projects task list: Show
Model list: Do not show GPT 5.6

When the model_reasoning_effort attribute in the config.toml configuration file is empty, CodeX:

ChatGPT/CodeX toggle options: Do not display
Project task list: Do not display
Model list: Display GPT 5.6

Everything was normal before the update

Even with repeated validation, this remains the case
I didn't try uninstalling and reinstalling because I was afraid of losing my local project data

What is the expected behavior?
