Description

What variant of Codex are you using?

Mobile Codex live voice. Mobile OS and app version were not provided.

What feature would you like to see?

Allow a dropped live Codex voice session to be restarted or resumed in the same existing task on mobile.

Reported sequence:

  1. Start a live Codex voice session on mobile.
  2. The voice session drops.
  3. Reopen the existing chat/task.
  4. Only text input/dictation is available; there is no way to restart or resume live Codex voice within that same task.

Expected behavior: provide a Resume voice or Start voice action in the existing task after a dropout, retaining the task's conversation context so the spoken conversation can continue.

Impact: a dropout breaks conversational continuity because the user cannot continue in live voice in the same task. Dictation does not restore the live voice session.

Additional information

Research direction

Start by tracing the mobile live voice session lifecycle and how an existing task is reopened after a dropout; the issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Done means an interrupted live voice session can be restarted or resumed in the same task while retaining its conversation context, with coverage for the reported sequence.
