In the Codex VS Code panel, the "Tasks" list appears read-only. There’s no rename action in the right-click menu or the task header.
Request: add "Rename" for tasks in the sidebar (right-click or overflow menu), and/or allow inline rename from the task header.
This would help users keep long-running tasks organized when the title isn’t great initially.

I would even be happy with /rename for now, but a right-click menu would be good, too.
