A Codex session can reject every subsequent message with invalid_encrypted_content while thread/resume still succeeds. T3 keeps resuming the unusable history, so retrying an ordinary message repeats the same HTTP 400. I observed this twice in T3 Code desktop 0.1.9 on macOS, with both errors naming the same reasoning item. The history had switched models, but that is a correlation, not a proven cause of the original decryption failure.

Recognize the structured error at the Codex adapter boundary and show a safe, actionable message instead of the raw response and headers. On the next user turn, use the existing fresh-native-session/portable-history fallback when the latest accepted root attempt rejected the current native history. Keep the T3 thread, transcript, provider-thread identity, selected model, and original error. Do not automatically replay the failed action.

This also recognizes already-persisted raw JSON error envelopes. Recovery is limited to Codex and the affected native history, waits for pending background work, and does not trigger on incidental mentions, unrelated failures, another provider, or an already-repaired native session. Portable history retains the existing context budget and omission behavior; it does not recover the encrypted reasoning itself.

The recovery guards and deterministic adapter pattern are adapted from #28962, which addresses the separate subscription_sharing_unsupported_capability rejection. This change is scoped to encrypted-history rejection, including existing raw errors; it does not add sharing-capability recovery or change provider/auth configuration. Related historical report: #410 (a different organization-mismatch reason).

Validation against base b37c959669ca:

• Before the production fix, seven recovery cases fail and four exclusion controls pass. The new adapter case also fails because the raw response/header marker reaches the displayed message.
• With the fix, all 247 tests in CodexManagedErrors.test.ts, CodexAdapterV2.test.ts, and ProviderSwitch.integration.test.ts pass.
• The real orchestration/SQLite integration harness with a deterministic provider verifies: baseline completes on native session 1; the next turn fails and leaves that native history rejecting all further turns; an ordinary follow-up completes on native session 2 with the earlier visible context; another follow-up reuses session 2 without another handoff. Other cases cover detach, legacy attempts, interrupted/cancelled runs, persisted raw envelopes, and pending background work.

Commands:

vp test run apps/server/src/provider/CodexManagedErrors.test.ts apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Adapters/CodexAdapterV2.test.ts apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/testkit/ProviderSwitch.integration.test.ts --maxWorkers=2
vp run check:changed --concurrency 1

check:changed passes: format, lint, both knip checks, server GraphQL verification, typechecks for all three affected packages, and 318 tests across five files. The unused-patch check is skipped because no dependency files changed. Full test suites and build remain CI work. The earlier missing-dependency check attempts were rerun after completing the isolated development install.

Local runtime: Node 26.5.0, pnpm 12.14.0. No patched desktop/web end-to-end or real-provider recovery claim: live installation, credentials, and existing histories were not modified. This fixes recovery after rejection, not the unproven upstream cause of the original decryption failure.

Model: GPT-6.1 Sol. Harness: Codex desktop.

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at 2cca8a9

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — Codex conversations with rejected encrypted history recover through the existing fresh-session handoff on the next message. Recovery is limited to matching failed sessions and blocked while background work is pending, keeping the change’s exposure narrow.

Walkthrough

Codex startup now detects eligible rejected encrypted history on a provider thread. Pending background work causes a load error. Otherwise, startup uses fresh-session recovery with a distinct reason. Tests cover recovery and cases where recovery is blocked or unnecessary.

Changes: Codex history recovery

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Managed error classification and terminal handling apps/server/src/provider/CodexManagedErrors.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Adapters/CodexAdapterV2.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Adapters/CodexAdapterV2.test.ts	The managed error map adds invalid_encrypted_content and a message about continuing in a fresh session. Adapter tests verify provider-error classification and confirm that a sensitive header value is excluded from the failure message. The adapter comment now describes preserving structured service-failure codes and safe messages.
Rejected-history detection and recovery apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/ProviderTurnStartService.ts	For Codex, startup checks an earlier failed, interrupted, or cancelled run for rejected encrypted history. If background work is pending, startup returns a load error. Otherwise, startup uses fresh-session recovery with the rejected_native_history reason.
Recovery integration coverage apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/testkit/ProviderSwitch.integration.test.ts	The test adapter tracks rejected native thread IDs. Integration cases cover recovery with a replacement native thread, repaired native references, unrelated errors, legacy attempt data, and pending background work.

Merge Risk: Low · up to b5ed1

Codex sessions that hit rejected encrypted history now recover into a fresh native session while keeping the visible conversation. One narrow case remains. If an earlier attempt in the same run was rejected and the latest attempt failed for a different reason, the session can still be reset unnecessarily. This costs some context fidelity rather than data, so the change is mergeable with a small follow-up to scope the match to the active attempt.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title "fix(server): recover Codex threads after encrypted history rejection" follows conventional commit format and names the main change: recovery of Codex threads after invalid_encrypted_content rejection. The raw summary confirms recovery logic in ProviderTurnStartService, the managed error mapping in CodexManagedErrors, and related adapter and test changes. The title is specific and matches the objectives.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description covers the template's main sections in substance. Problem: a Codex session rejects messages with invalid_encrypted_content while thread/resume succeeds, with reproduction context (T3 Code desktop 0.1.9 on macOS). Change: adapter-level safe error message and fresh-native-session fallback on the next turn, with thread identity and original error kept. Scope: the author ties the work to the bug, cross-references #28962 and #410, and states what is excluded. Verification: specific test counts, the before/after fix validation, the exact commands, and a list of what was not checked (no patched desktop/web end-to-end run, no real-provider recovery). The template's Scope section asks for a linked issue showing the bug. The description cites a related report (#410, a different organization-mismatch reason) and a companion PR, but it does not link an issue that shows this bug, and it does not say why no issue is needed. That is a minor gap, so the description is mostly complete.

Minor · Functional Correctness · Quick win

Scope the recovery error match to the previous run's active attempt.

rejectedHistory reads every error item on the previous run's root node. Each attempt writes its own failure item, and earlier attempts' items are kept. If a run has an earlier attempt that received invalid_encrypted_content, and its latest attempt then fails for another reason on the same native thread, this check still returns true. The session is then reset to a fresh native session with portable history, although the latest attempt did not reject the native history.

Match the error to previous.activeAttemptId, which is already resolved as previousAttempt. Use the attempt-owned provider turn or equivalent attempt identity on the error item. Confirm the item field in packages/provider-core/src/server/failure.ts before writing the filter.
