Description

What version of the Codex App are you using (From “About Codex” dialog)?

26.908.70816

What subscription do you have?

pro 5x

What platform is your computer?

Darwin 25.6.0 arm64 arm

What issue are you seeing?

In the Simplified Chinese Codex desktop UI, typing /c shows Compact as the first result, but MCP (the second result) is selected by default.

In previous desktop builds, /c default-selected Compact, so /c + Enter could be used to quickly compact the conversation. This changed after a recent desktop update.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

  2. Type /c.
  3. Observe that Compact is first in the list, but MCP is the default selected item.
What is the expected behavior?

Expected: the first/best matching result, Compact, should be selected by default.

Research direction

Reproduce the slash command picker in the Simplified Chinese Codex desktop UI by typing /c, then trace the selection logic for the matching results. Done means Compact, the first matching result, is selected by default and pressing Enter invokes it; verify the behavior again in the Chinese locale.
