Uploaded thread: 019fffc7-b624-73f3-b25e-72939260e26f
When resuming codex, instead of a clean start I see error message
"Conversation interrupted - tell the model what to do differently. Something went wrong? Hit /feedback to report the issue."
What steps can reproduce the bug?
Uploaded thread: 019fffc7-b624-73f3-b25e-72939260e26f
What is the expected behavior?
A clean start-up of codex without an error reported.

expected ordinal 298, got 297comes from the SQLite history projection replaying the rollout JSONL: ordinals are persisted in the rollout lines, and any line whose ordinal is behind the stored cursor is a hardThreadStoreError::Internal(https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/1f41cc5d92/codex-rs/thread-store/src/local/thread_history_materialization.rs#L186-L192).The code explicitly supports same-ordinal retries — but only when the first occurrence was a rejected line (
#L115-L116). If ordinal 297 was written, successfully projected (cursor → 298), and then re-appended — e.g. the writer crashed or was killed after the append but before recording its own success, then retried on resume — the duplicate is a perfectly benign at-least-once artifact, yet the projector refuses it forever. Nothing skips an already-projected duplicate and nothing rebuilds the projection from scratch on mismatch, so one glitch permanently turns every resume of that thread into "Conversation interrupted" (same detect-but-never-repair family as #38792/#38341).Fix outline: (1) treat
ordinal < cursoras an idempotent-replay skip (optionally verifying byte range/content); (2) on any invariant failure, drop the projection state row and rebuild from ordinal 0 instead of erroring; (3) put rollout append and cursor advance in one durability domain so retries can't desync them.
