What issue are you seeing?

Codex desktop is showing stale/orphaned thread entries that cannot be reopened or archived. For thread IDs 019ccff2-7936-74e2-b59d-f678c2860b10 and 019ccf94-8e1d-72b2-a061-72bc1db23b15, the UI still surfaces them, but the local thread store has no matching rollout/thread record. For 019ccff2-7936-74e2-b59d-f678c2860b10, the app log shows thread/resume failing with no rollout found for thread id ....

Submitted feedback with: 019cd5bf-c102-7612-9f3a-2ea899da81f8

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Repro is not fully deterministic yet, but the broken state is reproducible once a stale/orphaned thread entry exists in the desktop UI.

Observed repro path:

  1. Open Codex desktop and navigate to a thread entry that is still shown in the sidebar/list.
  2. Click the thread to reopen it.
  3. Codex attempts thread/resume, but the backing rollout/thread metadata is missing locally.
  4. The thread cannot be opened, and it also cannot be archived/cleaned up from the UI.

Observed error:
no rollout found for thread id <thread_id>

What is the expected behavior?

If a thread no longer has backing metadata, Codex should either hide it automatically or provide a working cleanup/remove/archive path instead of leaving a broken UI entry.
