Codex task changes are created in a separate worktree without clear handoff

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

26.730.8199.0

What subscription do you have?

Plus

What platform is your computer?

Windows x64

What issue are you seeing?

An automatically created or delegated Codex task completed its changes in a separate Codex-managed worktree. The expected project working tree did not contain those changes, so they were not visible in the repository until they were manually copied.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

1. Open a local Git repository in the Codex desktop app.
2. Create or delegate a task automatically from an existing task.
3. Ask the task to modify project files.
4. When the task finishes, inspect the original project working tree.
5. Observe that the changes were made in a separate Codex-managed worktree rather than the original working tree.

What is the expected behavior?

By default, automatically created or delegated tasks should write changes to the active project working tree. If a separate worktree is required, Codex should clearly disclose it before work starts and offer an explicit handoff or merge/copy action when the task completes.
