Summary

Mentioning @codex review on a GitHub PR created multiple duplicate Codex
cloud tasks. Pressing Stop briefly shows a loading state, but the tasks
return to “Working on your task.”

Some task detail pages temporarily showed “Cancelled,” then later reverted
to “Working on your task.”

I archived all the tasks from Codex web and then they were gone from the app and web.
