What issue are you seeing?

When macOS is configured with System Settings → Appearance → Auto, Codex only partially updates when the system switches between the light and dark appearances. Some interface elements remain in the
previous appearance, resulting in poor contrast and making parts of the interface difficult to read.

This is especially disruptive when the automatic switch occurs in the middle of a conversation. The entire interface should update consistently when the macOS system appearance changes.
