Description

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

Versão 26.818.32112

What subscription do you have?

PLUS

What platform is your computer?

Windows 11 X64

What issue are you seeing?

The latest Codex desktop update is causing an error in the sandbox, this message appears. I tested a read-only operation (Get-Location and git status) and the sandbox failed before running the command, with the same error: helper_unknown_error: setup refresh had errors. So, the problem is still with the local Codex environment startup, not the project.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

when I request a code change that he has to access the folders of the research project

What is the expected behavior?

Research direction

Start by reproducing on Windows 11 x64 with Codex App version 26.818.32112 using Get-Location and git status, then inspect the sandbox startup path associated with “setup refresh had errors.” Done means read-only commands and requested folder access start successfully without helper_unknown_error.
