VS Code extension shows the same global 51 conversations in every workspace
I am experiencing the same issue(#3550) in the current VS Code Codex extension.
Every VS Code project shows the same 51 conversations. This is not caused by
opening a parent directory or the wrong workspace: I open each repository in
its own pinned VS Code window.
I inspected the local Codex state database:
- 93 total threads
- 20 distinct
cwdvalues - only 4 threads belong to the currently opened repository
- nevertheless, the extension displays the same 51 conversations in every repository
This confirms that workspace detection and per-thread cwd metadata are
correct, but the VS Code conversation list is not filtering by the active
workspace. The usability problem becomes progressively worse as global
conversation history accumulates.

VS Code Codex extension version: 26.609.30741
Platform: Windows + WSL
Related issues:
- #3550 described the same workspace-scoping problem, but it is closed and the
problem is still reproducible in the current extension.
- #15368 documents a 50-thread recent-conversation page limit, which may explain
why the extension displays 51 conversations.
