Description

Problem

A local Codex project is fully visible and readable in the Windows desktop app, but the complete project and its chats are missing in Remote access.

Local desktop state

Project: GPT Workspace Governance - Work

Visible chats:

  • GPT - Steering
  • GPT - CleanUp - Fortsetzung
  • GPT - CleanUp
  • GPT - Tutor
Steps already tried
  1. Restarted the desktop app and the Remote client.
  2. Removed and re-paired the Remote connection.
  3. Checked the Remote project list again.

The project remains missing in Remote. Locally, the project and chats are still present and readable.

Expected behavior

Remote should show the connected host's existing local project and its chats.

Actual behavior

The host connection is available, but the complete project and its chats are not discoverable in Remote.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the missing-project behavior with the listed local project and chats after restarting and re-pairing the Remote connection. Trace how the connected host exposes local projects to Remote, and consider the issue complete when the existing project and its chats are discoverable without affecting their local visibility.
