What happened?
When I start a conversation from the Zed Codex agent integration, that session does not appear in the Codex CLI /resume list.
Steps to reproduce
- Start a Codex session from Zed (Codex agent integration).
- Open Codex CLI and run
/resume. - Observe that the Zed-started session is missing.
Expected behavior
Sessions started via Zed integration should be discoverable in /resume, so they can be continued from the CLI.
Actual behavior
Only CLI-started sessions are listed; Zed-started sessions are not, so continuation is not possible.
Impact
Breaks conversation continuity across clients and makes earlier discussions effectively non-resumable from CLI.

Could Codex align behavior so sessions from integrations are also resumable via /resume?

This is because the Zed Codex Agent uses Codex as an MCP server. Sessions created through this interface are consisted non-interactive sessions. Only interactive sessions are displayed in the
/resumecommand.For IDEs and editors that want to integrate with Codex, we recommend using the Codex App Server interface. This is what we used for our own VS Code Extension and the new Codex App. It's also used by JetBrains for their PyCharm Codex extension and Apple for their Xcode Codex extension. Sessions created with this interface are considered interactive and will show up across in the TUI when you run
/resume.@etraut-openai are you sure about this? I thought they are using ACP capbility https://github.com/zed-industries/codex-acp. And in ACP mode zed can be just one of agents using codex as a client. QUestion - do you support history for ACP mode then, not MCP? thanks!
There is no special "ACP mode" in codex. ACP relies on running codex as an MCP server.
