Description

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

Windows Version 26.818.41509 / Android 1.2026.223 (20)

What subscription do you have?

Plus

What platform is your computer?

Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.26200.0 x64

What issue are you seeing?

When connecting to a desktop instance of Codex via the ChatGPT app on android (the remote view), project names are incorrect.

I renamed a project on desktop to "foxbolt (cobal-ttools)". When connecting via remote to the desktop instance, it displays "cobalttools" instead as the project name.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Feedback ID: 01a034e3-e1ff-7301-beaf-d1bd0d23b2df

What is the expected behavior?

I expect the remote view on mobile to show the same project names as on desktop.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the remote view from the Android ChatGPT app against the Windows desktop instance, using feedback ID 01a034e3-e1ff-7301-beaf-d1bd0d23b2df. Compare the renamed desktop project name with the name rendered remotely; done means the mobile view shows the exact same project name, including punctuation.
