Same/similar problem here:
Windows desktop app 26.313.41514
Repro:
“Current working directory missing / This thread's working directory no longer exists”.
Observed:
git worktree listshows it.%USERPROFILE%\.codex\config.tomlcontains project entries in mixed path forms, including\\?\C:\....Possible clue:
Could be like a Windows path identity/normalization issue between normal drive-letter paths and

For windows users, worktrees development are not functioning. this issue is applied to me currently since the first launch of codex. This situation getting us worse in productivity and ci/cd. Those who see this issue and are on the same situation, give thumbs up to the issue; otherwise we won't get a full functionality with codex.
