Description

I'm using GPT-6 in the Codex desktop app on Windows (currently installed version: 26.901.6511.0). In an existing project conversation, I frequently get the “Chat paused as a precaution” dialog.

I review the findings, check the acknowledgement box, and click Continue. Within a few seconds, the dialog appears again with substantially the same explanation. Repeating the confirmation leads to the same pause → continue → pause loop, preventing normal progress in the conversation.

Is this a known issue with the continuation flow? How can I recover the affected conversation? If something still requires review, the dialog should explain what remains unresolved. Please let me know which logs or diagnostic IDs would help investigate.

This looks similar to #43192 and this report in #42523.

Research direction

Reproduce the pause → Continue loop in the Codex desktop app on Windows using an existing project conversation. Compare the behavior with #43192 and the report in #42523, and collect the logs or diagnostic IDs requested in the issue. Done means identifying why the acknowledgement does not persist and documenting a reliable recovery path.
