What issue are you seeing?

When I drag a screenshot from the desktop into the Codex WSL terminal and want to refer to the model, the following message appears:

I cannot open the screenshot at C:\Users\...\Desktop\Screenshot 2026-01-19 010914.png here because I do not have access to your Windows desktop. Please upload the image here or post the text excerpt from the relevant entry.

In earlier versions, Codex was able to resolve this internally with /mnt/c/users/.../Desktop/...
