English translation:

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

Version 26.810.41047

What subscription do you have?

Plus plan

What platform is your computer?

Windows 11 64-bit

What issue are you seeing?

Codex performs the development as expected, but after the latest Codex update, it stopped making changes to the project folder. For example, I ask Codex to change some code in a file, and in the terminal it shows that it made the changes as requested, but it can no longer modify the file in the actual project folder on Windows; the changes do not go beyond the Codex development terminal.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Feedback ID: no-active-thread-01a0023f-5067-70a0-9efb-0af7f0ac9edd

What is the expected behavior?

Codex should make the actual changes inside the project folder as requested.
