Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in Codex App version 26.903.71938 on Mac, using X-High reasoning and observing whether it resets to Medium during turns. The cause and reproduction steps are not identified in the report; done means the reasoning level remains X-High across affected turns and the behavior is covered by a regression check.
