What issue are you seeing?
After updating the Codex desktop app, my previous chat history no longer appears in the app sidebar/history view. It looks like all previous conversations were wiped.
However, the threads may still exist internally: a new Codex thread was able to list older conversations such as Implement achievements feature, Redesign hero section, and others. So this appears to be a UI/sidebar/history indexing issue rather than actual data loss.
What steps can reproduce the bug?

- Have existing Codex chat history in the desktop app.
- Update the Codex desktop app.
- Reopen the app after the update.
- Check the sidebar/chat history list.
- Previous chats are missing from the visible history list.
What is the expected behavior?
After updating the app, all existing chat history should still appear in the sidebar/history list. Existing conversations should remain searchable and accessible without needing to recover them through backend/thread tools.
Additional information
The missing threads do not appear to be deleted. The app/backend can still access older thread records, but the sidebar does not show them. This suggests the issue may be related to local history indexing, filtering, migration after update, or sidebar state not loading previous threads correctly.
