What issue are you seeing?
When I open the history of a project in Codex, I expect to see the full conversation record, but in fact, I can only see the first message I sent. I checked the contents under ~/.codex/sessions/, and the rollout JSONL is complete.
Also, one thing to note is that if I have two conversations, A and B, as long as I don't close Codex, I can switch between them freely without losing the chat history. But after restarting Codex, the records of both conversations can't be displayed properly.
What steps can reproduce the bug?
codex resume 01a0332c-0209-70e0-b259-2feb86767c52

Research direction
Start by running codex resume 01a0332c-0209-70e0-b259-2feb86767c52 after restarting Codex and compare the displayed history with the complete rollout JSONL under ~/.codex/sessions/. Trace the history-loading path to determine why only the first sent message is shown; done means previously saved conversations display fully after restart.
