Summary
On the Windows Codex desktop app, archiving a completed local thread fails with a thread-store file-not-found error. The thread remains unarchived.
Environment
- Product: Codex Desktop
- Platform: Windows x64
- App package:
OpenAI.Codex_26.814.5167.0_x64__2p2nqsd0c76g0
- Local project thread
Error
The archive request returns:
failed to archive session: thread-store internal error:
failed to archive thread: The system cannot find the file. (os error 2)
The desktop UI reports that the archive failed.
Steps to reproduce
- Open a completed local Codex thread in the Windows desktop app.
- Attempt to archive it from the thread/project UI.
- Observe the archive failure.
- Restart the desktop app and retry.
Actual behavior
- The first archive attempt shuts down the active thread instance but does not persist the archive.
- A second attempt after the thread is stopped fails with the same
os error 2.
- The thread remains visible and its archive state remains
archived=0.
- The rollout JSONL file exists on disk, and the
archived_sessions directory also exists.
- The affected rollout path uses a Windows extended-length path prefix (
\\?\\C:\\...), which may be mishandled by the archive path-move logic.
Expected behavior
A completed local thread should be archived successfully, moved to the archived-session store, marked as archived, and removed from the active thread list.
