UI: Task step counter shows "Step 2 / 6" despite 4 items being marked complete

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

26.814.41957

What subscription do you have?

Pro

What platform is your computer?

Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.19045.0 x64

What issue are you seeing?

There is a discrepancy between the task checklist popover and the bottom status pill:

  • The bottom status pill displays Step 2 / 6.
  • In the expanded checklist, 4 tasks (steps 1, 3, 4, and 5) are already marked as completed (checked).
  • Step 2 and step 6 show active/in-progress spinners.

The counter appears to be referencing the index of the currently active step (Step 2) rather than reflecting the number of completed tasks, or the UI is rendering non-sequential step execution inconsistently.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

  1. Starting a multi-step plan/execution in the Codex app.
  2. Allowing tasks to run where checklist steps execute or complete non-sequentially.
  3. Open the step checklist dropdown and compare the completed items with the Step X / Y status badge at the bottom.

What is the expected behavior?

The progress badge should accurately reflect overall progress (showing total completed tasks like 4 / 6 completed or updating sequentially if tasks execute in linear order) to avoid confusion about which stage the process is currently in.

Additional information

Likely a UI state issue where the progress pill current step instead of completed step when steps are re-ordered or evaluated asynchronously.
