iOS Remote folder picker cannot load remote home directory

What variant of Codex are you using?

ChatGPT/Codex mobile app on iPhone, using Remote to access a connected Codex environment.

What happened?

In the iOS Remote flow, choosing a folder to add as a project opens the “Choose Folder” sheet, which immediately displays:

Could Not Load Folder
Could not find the remote home folder.

Retrying does not allow folder browsing.

The remote Codex environment is online and actively usable at the time of the failure. Its home directory and the intended project folder both exist and are accessible. The error occurs before the picker can inspect the selected project folder.

Expected behavior

The iOS Remote folder picker should load the connected host’s home directory and allow choosing an existing folder as a project.

Actual behavior

The picker says the remote home folder cannot be found even though the connected Codex environment is active and its home directory exists.

Exact device and environment details can be supplied privately if maintainers need them.

Start with the iOS Remote flow's “Choose Folder” sheet and trace the request that loads the connected host's remote home directory. Reproduce the failure with an active remote environment, then compare the behavior with related reports #36040 and #43264. Done means the sheet loads the home directory and allows selecting an existing remote project folder.
