What variant of Codex are you using?

CLI

What feature would you like to see?

When using the CLI, it's very hard to scroll up and quickly see which messages are from the user vs. agent.

If possible, how about adding some kind of background color to the user inputs, so it's easier to find my previous messages and instructions. I often want to refer back to them to double-check the work and make sure it covered all my points when I test the result, but it's not a very user-readable format this CLI in general.

I could see a few different versions, such as a clear text color for a user input, or background color of a block, or some kind of divider. Perhaps there is a better way of navigating the CLI that I'm not aware of.
