Description
Setup
- Codex desktop app on Windows
- Codex connected to a remote Linux host through a saved SSH connection
- Session steered from the ChatGPT Android app using Remote
Reproduction
- Open tasks from the Windows app's remote Linux workspace.
- Connect from Android Remote.
- Archive tasks from Android.
- Return to the Windows app task list.
Result
The tasks remain visible in the Windows active task list.
The remote Linux host reports the same tasks as archived: they are absent from the active task listing and present in the archived task listing. The archive write therefore reached the remote host, but the Windows sidebar did not update.
Expected
Tasks marked archived by the remote host disappear from the Windows active task list and appear under archived tasks.

Research direction
Start by tracing how the Windows task list receives remote archive changes and how it separates active from archived tasks. Reproduce the Android Remote archive flow against the saved SSH Linux workspace, then compare the Windows sidebar with the host's active and archived listings. Done means archived tasks disappear from the active list and appear under archived tasks.
