What variant of Codex are you using?

What feature would you like to see?
One really cool feature of the Opencode Desktop app is the responsive preview window on the right side, where you can see the files and directory of the local project. It would be very interesting to have a similar feature in the Codex App, so that when you want to see which files or folders you have, or even search for the file you want to reference, you don't have to open the IDE to do so, making the coding flow more fluid, without having to switch between apps, and centralizing and staying as long as possible within the same app, in this case the Codex App.

I don't understand how people use Codex without this. Is it a level of vibe coding that doesn't have a notion of files or file systems?
+1 for this feature. A real folder tree / file explorer would make Codex Desktop much more practical for larger projects and multi-file workflows.
