What variant of Codex are you using?

App

What feature would you like to see?

Typically towards the end of a thread with Codex I want to be able to checkout the working branch locally - either to run some local tools that don't support worktrees, or to make some final code changes.

I can't do that whilst codex is in its worktree:

fatal: 'feat/some-feature' is already used by worktree at '/Users/stevenh/.codex/worktrees/d721/my-project'

I'd like codex to automatically close worktrees when I archive the thread, or just give me a button to do it, probably here:
