Research direction

Start by reproducing the timeout flow described: use Codex voice mode, minimize the desktop app, mute the small icon, and wait for inactivity timeout. Trace what happens to the thread when the timeout occurs; done means the thread remains available after timeout and the behavior around the two-minute limit is addressed.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

app bug session
What version of the Codex App are you using (From “About Codex” dialog)?

26.721.31836 (build 5828)

What subscription do you have?

pro

What platform is your computer?

mac

What issue are you seeing?

when you use the new voice feature on codex desktop, if it times out due to inactivity, the thread disappears

also, why cant we choose how long the inactivity timeout is? would be good for it to stay up there to let me know when my longer threads are done, not just timeout after 2 minutes

What steps can reproduce the bug?

use the new codex voice mode
minimize codex and use the browser
mute the small icon, and let it time out

What is the expected behavior?
