codex-provider-sync

Why we included this project

Switching model providers in OpenAI Codex can make your old sessions disappear from Codex Desktop or /resume, even though the data is still on disk. The session files and the SQLite index just disagree about which provider they belong to. codex-provider-sync rewrites that provider metadata in both places so past conversations show up again under the current provider, and it makes a backup before every sync in case you want to undo it. It stays deliberately narrow: no login handling, no auth.json edits, no touching message bodies. You can drive it from a Windows desktop app, a local web UI, or a plain CLI that slots into scripts and CI. One honest caveat: making a session visible again does not mean the target backend can decrypt older encrypted content, so continuation across providers can still fail. For anyone who hops between official OpenAI and custom relays, this is a practical housekeeping tool.
