BUG: VSCode IDE Plugin on SSH Connection: "Failed to load tasks."

[ben-vargas]

What version of Codex is running?

0.25.0

Which model were you using?

gpt-5

What platform is your computer?

Darwin 24.6.0 arm64 arm / Linux 6.8.0-78-generic x86_64 x86_64

What steps can reproduce the bug?

When using the Codex IDE plugin (MacOS), either in Cursor or VSCode, and connecting to a remote development server via SSH, the tasks fail to load with message "Failed to load tasks."

What is the expected behavior?

Codex tasks load properly - they do load fine when not connected to a remote server via ssh (when using MacOS and opening a project folder locally). I would expect tasks to load regardless of remote ssh or local project.

Codex CLI 0.25.0 is installed both locally and on the remote linux dev server.

What do you see instead?

"Failed to load tasks."
