Timeline entries in VS Code when using Codex
What variant of Codex are you using?
VS Code Extension
What feature would you like to see?
I would like Codex to create VS Code Timeline entries for code changes, similar to how GitHub Copilot does.
In Visual Studio Code, the Timeline view shows a history of changes for each file.
When I use GitHub Copilot, every generated or replaced code block automatically creates a Timeline entry. This allows me to compare the current implementation with the generated suggestion directly in the Timeline diff view.
However, when I use Codex, no such Timeline entries are created — even though Codex also generates or replaces code. This makes it harder to track and review Codex‑initiated changes.
Feature request:
Please add support for creating Timeline events in VS Code whenever Codex modifies a file, so that Codex changes can be reviewed just like Copilot changes.
Additional information
This feature would greatly improve transparency and reviewability when working with Codex inside VS Code. It would also make Codex feel more integrated with the editor’s native change‑tracking tools.
