New Thread button does not open the new conversation on Windows

Codex Windows desktop client has a bug with the New Thread button. Expected behavior: Clicking New Thread should create a new conversation and immediately navigate to it. Actual behavior: From the UI, the button appears non-functional. However, logs show that thread creation succeeds, but the desktop UI does not open or render the new thread. Environment: * Product: Codex Windows desktop client * Version: OpenAI.Codex 26.409.7971.0 * App-server / CLI version: 0.119.0-alpha.28 * Platform: Windows What I already tried: * Repair * Reset * Uninstall and reinstall Result: The issue still persists after reinstall. Relevant logs: * 2026-04-15 08:38:37: thread/start returned successfully * 2026-04-15 08:39:24: Conversation created Conclusion: Backend thread creation succeeds, but the Windows desktop frontend does not correctly navigate to or render the new thread.
