Codex Issues / #32507

Untracked files are not under unstaged tab

Resolved 💬 9 comments Opened Jul 12, 2026 by henningpokriefke Closed Jul 17, 2026

What version of the Codex App are you using (From “About Codex” dialog)?

Version 26.707.41301

What subscription do you have?

Pro

What platform is your computer?

Darwin 25.1.0 arm64 arm

What issue are you seeing?

All untracked files are not under the unstaged changes. That came after the GPT-5.6 release. Therefore untracked files which are new files added to the repo can't be only seen in "Branch" View.

The top image is Zed and Zed is splitting the files Into unstaged and untracked. And there you can see the green part which is not in codex. Both screenshots are same branch, etc. 30s away from each other.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Its the standard in the app, so just use it.

What is the expected behavior?

See all files that are changed including new files.

Same problem here! macOS 26.5.1 (25F80). I can't belive it's not fixed yet

A workaround: run git add -N . while the number of files mismatches before the code review.

How can a regression like this get around testing?

It's honestly insane. It's like the pink elephant in the room.

git add -N .

Building on the git add -N . workaround above, this is the prompt I’ve been using inside Codex so it handles the intent-to-add step without staging file contents:

In the ChatGPT/Codex desktop app Review tab, untracked files are not showing under the Unstaged filter. Please make untracked files visible there by running git add --intent-to-add for all untracked files, but do not stage their contents.

This helped because Codex can target the untracked files directly instead of me manually running the command.

Looks like it was fixed with the latest update, at least on Windows.

It appears to be working for me in ChatGPT 26.715.21425 on MacOS now too.
