Arch Linux/KDE: Codex completion notifications are delayed until the app regains focus

What version of the Codex App are you using?

Codex Desktop, installed CLI version codex-cli 0.149.1.

Platform

• Arch Linux
• KDE Plasma on Wayland

What issue are you seeing?

Codex completion notifications are delayed when Codex is not the currently visible or focused application.

When a task finishes while I am working elsewhere, no notification appears at that moment. After I return to Codex, the notification appears immediately, as if it was held until the app became active again.

The notification is eventually generated, but it is not delivered when the task actually completes.

Steps to reproduce

1. Open Codex.
2. Start a task that takes some time to complete.
3. Switch to another application or workspace.
4. Wait for the task to finish.
5. Do not return to Codex until after completion.
6. Switch back to Codex.

Actual behavior

The completion notification is not shown when the task finishes. It appears only after Codex is focused again.

Expected behavior

The notification should be delivered immediately when the task completes, regardless of whether Codex is:

• On another workspace
• Minimized
• Behind another application
• Not currently focused

Impact

This makes completion notifications unreliable. Users may assume a task is still running and repeatedly check Codex manually.

Returning to Codex should not be required to release or display an already-created completion notification.

Start by tracing the Codex completion-notification path and how it handles an unfocused or minimized app on KDE Plasma under Wayland. Reproduce the report by switching applications while a task runs, then verify that the notification is delivered at task completion without returning to Codex.
