Codex Desktop on Windows with WSL agent breaks local image preview due to Windows/WSL path mismatch

I am using Codex Desktop on Windows with the agent configured to run through WSL.

When the agent generates or returns a local image path, the chat frontend tries to render the image using a path format that does not match the active agent/runtime environment. Because Windows paths and WSL paths differ, the image preview fails and only the broken image alt text is shown.

Example path mismatch:

Windows-style path: C:/Users//Documents/…/image.png

WSL-style path: /mnt/c/Users//Documents/…/image.png

Observed behavior:

• Codex Desktop shows a broken image preview.
• The generated image exists locally, but the frontend cannot resolve the path.
• This happens when the agent path is configured to WSL, while the renderer appears to expect or emit Windows-style local paths.

Expected behavior:

• Codex Desktop should normalize local image paths between WSL and Windows.
• If the agent runs in WSL and returns /mnt/c/..., the frontend should convert it to C:/... or a valid file:///C:/... URI before rendering.
• Alternatively, the app should document which local image path format is required when using a WSL agent.

Environment:

• Windows + WSL
• Codex Desktop
• Agent configured to run from WSL
• Local image preview in chat fails

Attached screenshot shows the broken generated image preview.
