Description

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

26.915.31945

What subscription do you have?

Plus

What platform is your computer?

Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.26200.0 x64

What issue are you seeing?

When I start codex and send a prompt, I get a good response but then when I try to send another prompt in the same task, then the circle just spins and it never responds. I have to keep opening new chats/tasks each time I want to do something. I tried restarting codex completely and also have done a repair, nothing seems to work.
I also filed this issue: 01a0c02f-132f-7d93-be7d-ef8977d9df62

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Feedback ID: 01a0c02f-132f-7d93-be7d-ef8977d9df62

What is the expected behavior?

I expect to be able to send multiple prompts in the same task/chat

Research direction

Start with the reported Feedback ID 01a0c02f-132f-7d93-be7d-ef8977d9df62 and reproduce the sequence of one prompt followed by a second prompt in the same task on Windows. Trace the follow-up prompt handling and use the expected behavior—multiple prompts should receive responses in one chat—as the completion criterion.
