Codex App conversations disappear, marked unread, resort after a restart (Mac OS)

Hi @brainstencil Yeah, that’s definitely not expected, especially the conversations appearing to disappear and everything getting reshuffled after a restart. Just to clarify one piece: when those conversations “go missing,” are they actually gone, or can you still find them via search? The combo you’re describing (unread badges clearing + resorting + missing chats) sounds like the app may be re-syncing or re-indexing incorrectly on launch, which would explain why the state isn’t sticking between sessions. If you can share a bit more detail, it would really help pin this down: * macOS version * App version * Whether this happens every time you restart the app or only occasionally * If search still finds the “missing” conversations Appreciate you flagging this, happy to help dig further once we have a bit more to go on. ~SD
