Open in Finder does nothing on macOS #16555

What version of the Codex App are you using (From “About Codex” dialog)?

26.325.31654

What subscription do you have?

Not specified by reporter

What platform is your computer?

Darwin 25.3.0 arm64 arm

What issue are you seeing?

Clicking "Open in Finder" in Codex Desktop does nothing on macOS. No Finder window opens and no error is shown. The problem persists after restarting Finder and Codex.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

  1. Open a local thread/workspace in Codex Desktop.
  2. Click "Open in Finder".
  3. Observe that nothing happens.

Extra diagnostics:

  • open ., open -R "$PWD", and AppleScript reveal work from Terminal.
  • Restarting Finder did not help.
  • Restarting Codex did not help.
  • While clicking the button, Codex did not spawn /usr/bin/open at all.

What is the expected behavior?

Finder should open and reveal the workspace folder for the current local thread.

Additional information

Workspace - Local workspace folder
Likely failing before the system open call. Internal inspection of the app bundle showed that the macOS Finder target resolves to open -R <path>.
I also attempted to send this through the built-in desktop feedback channel, but that endpoint was returning 429 / project quota exceeded at the time of filing.
