Codex reported that the Claude import completed, but did not record an imported thread (Windows)
09:06 26 Aug 2026

I'm using the official openai/codex-plugin-cc plugin for Claude Code to move a conversation over to Codex with /codex:transfer. On every single attempt, on Windows, the command fails with:

Codex reported that the Claude import completed, but did not record an imported thread. Check the Codex app-server logs for the underlying import error.

The odd part: the import actually works. If I open Codex afterward and run codex resume, the session is sitting right there in ~/.codex/sessions/... and resumes fine. There's also nothing to find in the app-server logs — I checked ~/.codex/logs_2.sqlite and there are zero rows related to the import. So the error text is misleading; it isn't an import failure, it's the plugin failing to notice a successful one.

Setup:

  • @openai/codex-plugin-cc 1.0.6 (installed via the openai-codex marketplace)
  • codex-cli 0.146.0, desktop install
  • Windows 11, CODEX_HOME unset (default %USERPROFILE%\.codex)

Is this a known issue with how the plugin verifies an import on Windows, and is there a reliable way to get the id of the thread it just created, short of manually scanning ~/.codex/sessions?
