What variant of Codex are you using?
CLI
What feature would you like to see?
I would love to be able to add thread to the status line. I have multiple tabs open in my terminal with Codexes and they all live in the same directory in the same branch, however they are meant for different features so I need to memoize what is what. It would be great to have just a glimpse look into the status line to understand what this tab is about.
Additional information
If it's not on your rodmap already and there's way I can add this -> let me know -> I figure out how to add it.

It is basic and useful!!!!! Plz implement it.
Please somebody care about this little issue, plz plz, we need this.
Related broader proposal: a custom statusline widget API could subsume thread-name and similar airline/statusline requests cleanly. I just opened #14043 for that direction.
If you are using
tmux, you can add the current session name in the statusbar (oftmux), which is a nice workaround, I find.That is much needed in my opinion.
Is this feature planned or not? really useful feature.
This feature will be included in the next release.
For anyone looking for a quick answer, inside the codex CLI:
