What variant of Codex are you using?

App

What feature would you like to see?

hello, thanks for the great work I am enjoying gpt-5.4 and codex app, works good on windows as well, its laggy on my macbook m1, unlike cli btw

here is my issue:
when using multiple threads:
a) i dont know what i last did in that thread just by looking at the non changing title OR
b) i forgot what my last prompt was
this makes me enter each thread and needed to scroll up to my last prompt over all the agent steps i dont care about so i can remind myself what it was again

possible changes:

  • add a feature, when turned on, it auto collapses agent steps once its done, this makes my last prompt visable without scrolling and ensures that one can follow the agent steps while its working
  • automatically change thread title into short keyword thing that describes last change
  • add description under threads that shows last prompt/ keywords of last step (kinda ugly but there is enough room, no one is gonna have like 40 threads actively open?)

im just gonna add this here, that working with artifacts/ settings up self verification especailly for web is much nicer in claude desktop, it instantly shows you the rendered website in a canvas like window, something you might wanna think about, this might already exist in chatgpt, but not in codex, i do not know
