Codex Micro: Pinned chats Agent Keys do not update after reordering pinned chats

Open 💬 1 comment Opened Aug 26, 2026 by M1nt-Ch0c0

What version of the Codex App are you using?

26.820.7780.0

What platform is your computer?

Windows 11 Enterprise LTSC, version 10.0.26100, x64

What issue are you seeing?

When Codex Micro's Agent Key mode is set to Pinned chats, the six physical Agent Keys initially follow the first six pinned chats. However, after reordering the pinned chats by dragging them in the app sidebar, the Agent Keys keep their previous order instead of following the new pinned-chat order.

This is consistently reproducible.

The documented behavior says: "Pinned chats: Follow the first six chats in Pinned."

Documentation: https://learn.chatgpt.com/docs/features/codex-micro

What steps can reproduce the bug?

  1. Connect Codex Micro to the Codex desktop app.
  2. Pin at least six chats.
  3. In Settings > Codex Micro, set Agent keys to Pinned chats.
  4. Confirm the six Agent Keys correspond to the first six chats shown under Pinned.
  5. Drag the pinned chats in the sidebar to change their order.
  6. Observe the six Agent Keys.

What is the expected behavior?

The Agent Keys should immediately follow the updated order of the first six chats in Pinned, matching the documented behavior.

What actually happens?

The pinned list changes order in the sidebar, but the Agent Keys remain in their old order. The Micro mapping is not synchronized with the reordered pinned list.

Additional information

  • Reproduction rate: 100% in repeated attempts.
  • This appears to be a desktop-client state synchronization or cache invalidation issue between pinned-chat ordering and the Codex Micro Agent Key mapping.

Update (2026-08-27): this looks fixed after a desktop app update.

  • Reproduced 100% on 26.820.7780.0 (Windows 11): with Agent keys set to Pinned chats, dragging pinned chats in the sidebar did not update the Codex Micro Agent Key mapping.
  • After updating to 26.820.9563.0, the Agent Keys now follow the new pinned order immediately, matching the documented \"Follow the first six chats in Pinned\" behavior.

Leaving this here in case it helps close the issue. Happy to re-test if it regresses.
