  "textContent": "I’m genuinely confused by the absence of a basic delete-conversation feature in Codex App. For a mature desktop application that stores local conversation history and archived sessions, users should have a clear way to permanently delete individual threads from the UI. Archiving is not deletion; it only hides or moves the thread, while the underlying data still appears to remain on disk. This is especially concerning when conversations may contain private code, personal research, credentials accidentally pasted into context, or other sensitive information. A delete option should not require users to manually inspect local files or SQLite databases. At minimum, Codex App should provide a clearly documented “Delete thread” action, explain whether deletion is local-only or cloud-synced, and offer a way to remove archived threads as well. This feels like a fundamental privacy and data-management feature, not an advanced preference.",
