Codex Windows app 26.814.5167.0
Archiving local Codex tasks fails after update.
Error:
failed to archive thread: Cannot find the file specified / os error 2
Active rollout files exist under:
~/.codex/sessions/YYYY/MM/DD/
while archived_sessions is flat.
thread/list sees the tasks, read_thread works, but set_thread_archived fails.

This appears to be a duplicate of #39239 / #39150.
My local repro matches the same Windows app version and archive failure:
Codex Windows app 26.814.5167.0, thread/list and read_thread work, but set_thread_archived fails with os error 2 while the rollout JSONL still exists under ~/.codex/sessions/YYYY/MM/DD/.
Closing this issue to consolidate tracking in #39239.
