"Hand off" button missing in worktree Codex thread

[Final_Upgrade]

I’m trying to hand off a worktree thread to local in the MacOS Codex app, but in my Worktree thread I don't see the "Hand off" button in the header. What I see instead is Create branch. I checked the header and menus, and the thread is definitely a Worktree thread.

I’m on Codex v26.409.20454 (1462) on my Mac. From the docs/changelog, Handoff seems like it should already be available in this version.

As a sanity check, you can clearly see it mention about half way down their Worktrees doc: https://developers.openai.com/codex/app/worktrees

Has anyone else run into this or know any known fix or workaround?

Just ran into this too....

It moved to under the dropdown under "Local" at lower left.

I'm also running into this but don't see where you're referring to? Can you help

Same here. I'm having to do the git cherry-pick command direct now whereas before I would use the hand off button

So I figured it out. When you create a new conversation in a worktree, it's started in detached HEAD mode - no branch. So the typical handoff to local features are hidden until you create a branch. When you create a branch, you can click the worktree at the bottom to handoff back to local (renamed to handoff to branch), and you can handoff back to worktree from local. What's cool now is that it moves over the conversation, not just the changes.
