What version of the Codex App are you using (From “About Codex” dialog)?
Version 26.814.41407
What subscription do you have?
Oracle Corporation (Enterprise version)
What platform is your computer?
Darwin 24.6.0 arm64 arm
What issue are you seeing?
Whenever a new chat is initiated it picks up 5.6 Terra medium as the model. When clicked on model drop down and then 'reset to default' it picks up 5.6 Sol medium as the model. Next when a new chat is opened again then again 5.6 Terra is picked up.
I have checked in config.toml as well adn 5.6 Sol medium is the default model but still non-default model is chosen.
This is the case in both ChatGPT/Codex app and ChatGPT Work (web) as well.
What steps can reproduce the bug?

I am also experiencing this issue. Codex says the picker shows Sol/Medium, while execution correctly uses Luna/Max (my defaults in the config file).
