Research direction

Start by locating the Windows taskbar jump list entry for the “New Chat” action and how its icon is configured; the issue does not name a file or test. Compare it with the other jump list items whose icons display correctly. Done when “New Chat” shows an appropriate Codex icon in the Windows taskbar jump list.

Actual Behavior

A generic Windows document icon appears instead of a dedicated "New Chat" icon.
