What issue are you seeing?
Pull request creation fails from the Codex desktop app, while opening the same Cloud task in Codex Web allows the PR to be created successfully.
The repository is correctly connected through the ChatGPT Codex Connector and the PR created from Codex Web immediately becomes visible in the desktop app, where it can also be reviewed and merged.
Therefore the GitHub repository/integration itself is working; the issue appears specific to the Create Pull Request action in the Codex desktop app.
This is reproducible with the same repository, account, task and commit.
Repository: grillofrancesco83/DANTE_AI_SCOUT
Workaround: open the same task in Codex Web → Create PR → return to Codex desktop app → PR is visible and can be merged normally.
What steps can reproduce the bug?
push the PR button once a commit is ready

Research direction
Start by reproducing the failure with the Codex desktop app's Create Pull Request action using the same task, repository, account, and commit described here. Compare that flow with creating the PR from Codex Web; done means the desktop action creates the PR directly without requiring the web workaround.
