I noticed that icon the first time consciously and thought “let’s see what it does”.
The Session was really long and I assume it is for splitting a thread?
And maybe because of the size of the conversation it might have caused my computer to use the remaining ~20 GB of RAM and that wasn’t enough? Anyways. Linux, Ubuntu, vscode - codex extension
Version 26.727.40816
Nothing serious .. a reboot and everything fine…
It creates a new Codex session from the current point so you can continue in a different direction without changing the original thread. Codex users and OpenAI’s repository describe this as “forking conversations.”
Mine completely froze yesterday when I was going to add a file. I needed to reset it 
Yeah, I figured it.. but when I tried it in a very long session (probably 4 weeks working in same thread) my computer froze.
Err I mean I probably don’t leave that marked as a solution… I guess the real reason for this post was not to figure out what the icon does but to report a bug.
Yep, I did same-thing it basically copied a long form chat from that point. Then locked up, so I did a hard reboot and it was fine
You should repost it this one will close in 3 days
It’s documented and now you know so if it comes up you can tell folks.
