Forked conversations not saving
What version of Codex is running?
0.45
Which model were you using?
gpt-5-codex
What platform is your computer?
Darwin 22.6.0 arm64 arm
What steps can reproduce the bug?
When using double esc (esc esc) to fork a conversation at a previous message turn, the resulting forked conversation is often not saved.
In other words, after
1) forking and sending a message at an earlier message point
2) Ctrl + C to exit out of the conversation
3) Running codex resume to resume the conversation
the forked conversation is not in the list of resumable conversations. I think this tends to happen when the conversation is longer or contains an embedded image. Also, it seems to be deterministic for a given conversation- forking from a defective conversation will not save no matter how many times you try.
What is the expected behavior?
Forked conversations should be saved as a new conversation in the resumable menu without fail.
What do you see instead?
Often, the forked conversation is not saved.
