Description
ChatGPT/Codex desktop app 26.826.11250 on Windows.
Chats created on Aug 26–27 disappear after restarting the app. Archived chats are empty. The old sessions folder and session_index.jsonl stopped updating on Aug 22, while thread_history_1.sqlite and its WAL files continue updating.
config.toml has no history override, and diagnostics reports healthy dependencies. The built-in /feedback upload also fails.
Feedback ID:
01a027de-ae43-7dd3-a151-3f72f35daf11
This appears to be a thread-history migration, indexing, or synchronization problem.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the restart and archive behavior on Windows with desktop app 26.826.11250, then inspect the old sessions folder, session_index.jsonl, thread_history_1.sqlite, its WAL files, and config.toml. Check whether chats persist after restart and whether the built-in /feedback upload succeeds; done means both reported failures are resolved.
