Codex Desktop: failure badge is shown while the task is still running
Summary
In the Codex desktop app, a task can show a red failure/error badge in the left sidebar while its main panel still shows it as actively running (for example, with an in-progress command and the stop button visible). The failure badge visually contradicts and appears to override the running state.
Steps to reproduce
- Start a long-running local Codex task.
- Let it run one or more commands.
- Trigger a recoverable command/tool error while the task continues running.
- Observe the task row in the left sidebar.
Actual behavior
A red failure badge is displayed on the sidebar task row even though the task continues running in the main panel.
Expected behavior
The sidebar should prioritize the current running state, or clearly distinguish a recoverable sub-step failure from a terminal task failure. A failure icon should not visually replace or overlap the running status for an active task.
Additional context
The issue was observed in the macOS desktop app. A screenshot is available and shows the red sidebar badge alongside an actively running task.
