   The cloud conversations appear to be in place in Codex/ChatGPT website but you cannot message in them.

   Also seeing this Version 26.930.51102 on MacOS 15.2. No cloud tasks visible in Codex but available via web app. Unlike @Chris-Duke, I can message them via web.

   I'm seeing the same cloud-connection failure on macOS, including the exact app build reported above.

   Environment: ChatGPT/Codex desktop 26.930.51102 (build 13100), macOS 27.0.1 (26A434), bundled Codex CLI 0.160.0.

   Observed October 5, 2026; times below are UTC (PDT + 7 hours):

   • 15:41:13: the durable WebSocket closed with code 1006, followed by repeated "Unexpected server response: 403" failures. The local app-server connection remained healthy.
   • Around 16:49: restarting the app did not restore the durable connection.
   • 16:55:03: clicking Reconnect returned 403 after approximately 137 ms.
   • During the failure, native MCP calls also returned -32000 / "Transport closed."
   • 17:39:49: the durable connection initialized successfully without another repair action. Native reads of two existing tasks then succeeded.

   I'm not using a VPN, proxy or corporate network. My network uses a Ubiquiti router with IPv6 and secure DNS. I haven't established a network cause, captured the authenticated handshake response headers/body, or confirmed a connection to today's reported Work incident.

   The connection recovered, but cloud-chat history remained partially visible or blank. I'm adding that separately to #50796 so connection recovery isn't mistaken for full UI recovery.

   I submitted in-app feedback at approximately 18:15 UTC. Feedback ID: 01a0fe60-be10-7734-a40b-5325f1064033.

   Please use that feedback to correlate the failed durable handshakes with the later successful initialization. Private conversation contents, task identifiers and raw logs are omitted.

   Same goes for me. The session no longer appears in the desktop app (windows), in the web, and in the mobile App too. Looked in the archived chats too, and it doesn't even appear there.
