Summary
After adding a second Codex provider instance with a custom config (custom CODEX_HOME), the Providers panel renders the instance row so that the display name is truncated to a few characters and the config-id badge overlaps the version label on the same line. The row is unreadable and looks broken compared to the built-in Codex row above it.

Steps to reproduce
- Open the Providers panel in the web/desktop UI.
- Have the built-in Codex provider (authenticated) plus a custom Codex provider instance configured with its own config dir (e.g. display name
personal, config dircodex_personal). - Look at the custom instance's row.
Expected behavior
- The instance display name gets a reasonable share of the row width (ellipsis only after meaningful characters, or wrapping).
- The config-id badge and the
v0.154.0version label never overlap — the row layout should give each element its own space or hide extras at narrow width.
Actual behavior
- The display name collapses to
pe...even though the row has plenty of horizontal space (the row is far from full width in the screenshot). - The config-id badge (
codex_p...) is drawn on top of / collides with thev0.154.0version text. - Status line ("Available") and the enable switch render fine, so it is purely a name/badge/version layout problem.
The built-in Codex row above renders correctly (Codex · v0.154.0 · Authenticated · ChatGPT Pro 5x Subscription), so this appears specific to custom instance rows where a config-id badge is present.
Impact
Minor bug or occasional failure (cosmetic; the row is still usable, but the name and version are unreadable)
Version or commit
t3 v0.0.39, Codex driver v0.154.0
Environment
- Desktop app on Linux (Omarchy / Arch, Wayland, dark theme)
- Built-in Codex: authenticated via ChatGPT Pro subscription
- Custom Codex instance: display name starting with
personal, own config dir starting withcodex_p, status "Available"

Research direction
Start in the apps/web Providers panel and reproduce the row with both a built-in and custom Codex provider instance. Trace the custom-instance row layout, focusing on the display name, config-id badge, and version label. Done means the name remains readable and the badge and version never overlap at the reported width, while the existing built-in row still renders correctly.
