Codex Session Recovery

Use this skill to recover local Codex Desktop sessions that still exist on disk but are missing from the UI.

The common failure mode is:

• sessions/**/*.jsonl and state_5.sqlite still contain the threads.
• session_index.jsonl may miss some records.
• .codex-global-state.json may miss project/sidebar assignment keys such as project-order, thread-workspace-root-hints, thread-project-assignments, and sidebar-project-thread-orders.
• Running Codex Desktop may overwrite manual edits with its in-memory state.
