Description

ChatGPT/Codex 26.915.31945 on MacBook, connected to an iMac. Same account on iPhone. App reports up to date.

Remote conversation remains on Thinking on MacBook while completed replies appear on iPhone. Connection shows Connected. New local chats work.

Restarting, switching conversations and pressing Stop did not resolve it. Reconnecting the iMac temporarily refreshes history, then updates stall again.

Expected: new messages and completed replies appear on both clients.

Feedback with diagnostic logs successfully submitted. ID: 01a083bb-af16-7c41-855a-16b438966ce4

Possibly related: #45702. Root cause unconfirmed.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the remote conversation sync failure between the MacBook and iMac, comparing the stalled MacBook with the completed reply on the iPhone. Review the submitted diagnostic logs using feedback ID 01a083bb-af16-7c41-855a-16b438966ce4 and compare findings with possibly related issue #45702. Done means new messages and completed replies appear on both clients without reconnecting the iMac.
