What issue are you seeing?

After starting a temporary side chat with /side, I closed the terminal window containing the side chat. However, the status bar in the parent Codex CLI
session continued to display model information for both the main chat and the closed side chat.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Start a Codex CLI session.
  2. Run /side to open a temporary side chat.
  3. Close the terminal window containing the side chat.
  4. Return to the parent session and check the status bar.

Actual behavior:
The status bar still displays two model entries, including the entry for the side chat that has already been closed. This makes it appear that the side chat is
still active.

Expected behavior:
When the side chat terminal is closed, its model entry should be removed from the parent session’s status bar, leaving only the main chat’s model information.

No error message is displayed.

Environment:

  • Codex CLI: 0.146.0
  • OS: Linux x86_64
  • Terminal type: xterm-256color

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Uploaded thread: 019fbd33-796c-7de2-b370-2af998d8f6ad

What is the expected behavior?

After the side chat terminal is closed, the corresponding model entry should be automatically removed from the parent session’s status bar. The status bar
should display only the model information for the active main chat.
