Research direction
Start by reproducing the stale unread marker in the Codex desktop app on macOS, including collapsing, expanding, and selecting Show more. Trace the collapsed project’s unread-state handling; done means the marker matches the actual unread tasks and remains correct after repeated collapse and expansion.

Description
Description
A collapsed project in the Codex desktop app shows a blue unread marker even though every task in the project has already been read. Expanding the project immediately removes the marker without opening any task. Collapsing the project can show the marker again.
Steps to reproduce
- Read all tasks in a project.
- Collapse the project.
- Observe the blue unread marker on the project row.
- Expand the project.
- The marker disappears, and no unread task is visible, including after repeatedly selecting Show more.
Expected behavior
The collapsed project marker reflects the actual unread state.
Actual behavior
The collapsed project shows a stale unread marker that disappears solely from expanding the project.
Environment
- Codex desktop app
- macOS
