Codex Desktop: projectless threads cannot be dragged above projects
What version of the Codex App are you using (From “About Codex” dialog)?

What platform is your computer?
Darwin 25.6.0 arm64 arm
What issue are you seeing?
A project is at the top of the sidebar. Individual threads outside that project cannot be dragged above it.
When I drag a projectless thread upward, the sidebar only lets me drop it inside the project. I cannot place the thread before the project in the sidebar order.

What steps can reproduce the bug?
- Put a project at the top of pinned projects the sidebar.
- Have one or more individual threads outside all projects.
- Drag an individual thread above the project.
- Try to drop it before the project.
Actual: The only available drop target puts the thread inside the project.
What is the expected behavior?
Manual sidebar ordering should let me place a projectless thread above a project without moving the thread into that project.
Additional information
Impact: I cannot prioritize individual threads above project groups while keeping those threads projectless.
