JetBrains (IntelliJ IDEA) ACP / Codex: AI Chat becomes unusable after using gpt-5.3-codex; session/resume fails with “no rollout found for thread id …” and persists even after switching back to gpt-5.2-codex #11693

What issue are you seeing?

After the IDE integration started offering gpt-5.3-codex models, using AI Chat (Codex via ACP) becomes extremely laggy / effectively unusable.

After a few prompts with gpt-5.3-codex, the IDE enters a broken state: even switching back to gpt-5.2-codex remains unusable, because the ACP agent repeatedly attempts to session/resume a persisted session and fails with an internal error:

  1. JSON-RPC -32603 Internal error
  2. details: "no rollout found for thread id "
  3. This triggers a loop: start ACP process → fail resume → stop server → kill process tree → restart.
  4. The loop correlates with severe UI lag in the AI Chat tool window (almost unusable).

Error excerpt:
`method: "session/resume"
params: {
sessionId: "<SESSION_ID_REDACTED>",
cwd: "<PROJECT_PATH_REDACTED>",
mcpServers: [],
}
code: -32603,
message: "Internal error",
data: {
details: "no rollout found for thread id <SESSION_ID_REDACTED>"
}

Failed to initialize ACP session ... Internal error
... Killing process tree ...
`

What steps can reproduce the bug?

  1. Open IntelliJ IDEA project.
  2. Open AI Chat (JetBrains AI Assistant) and select Codex / ACP integration.
  3. Select gpt-5.3-codex (e.g., medium) and send a few prompts (any normal chat prompts).
  4. Observe: AI Chat becomes very laggy; soon it becomes nearly unusable.
  5. Switch model back to gpt-5.2-codex and try again.
  6. Observe: still laggy/unusable; ACP keeps retrying session/resume for the same sessionId and fails with “no rollout found…”, restarting the process repeatedly.

Notes: once triggered, the issue persists across attempts because the IDE keeps trying to resume the same session/thread.

What is the expected behavior?

  1. AI Chat should remain responsive/usable after switching to gpt-5.3-codex, and switching back to gpt-5.2-codex should recover if needed.
  2. If a persisted thread/session cannot be resumed (state missing/expired), the integration should gracefully start a new session (or return a recoverable error), instead of entering a restart loop with Internal error.

Additional information

  1. Regression: before gpt-5.3-codex became available in the IDE integration, gpt-5.2-codex worked normally.
  2. Codex CLI usage is still workable; the problem seems tied to IDE ACP integration + session resume state.
  3. Attaching acp.log with timestamps around the failure helps (shows repeated session/resume + no rollout found + process kill/restart loop).
