codex desktop cannot open or create project in wsl
What version of the Codex App are you using (From “About Codex” dialog)?

What platform is your computer?
Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.26200.0 x64
What issue are you seeing?
When opening or creating a project in Codex Desktop, there is no option for WSL, and the file manager cannot open WSL directories. I would like it to be able to open WSL directories, just like applications such as opencode
opencode desktop:

codex desktop:

What steps can reproduce the bug?
Uploaded thread: a766a8e4-d37b-4c68-8668-0fcb9d6ca6ea
What is the expected behavior?
I would like the File Explorer window to display the WSL directory directly when creating or starting a project, just as shown in the screenshot of OpenCode Desktop included in the issue description.
Additional information
I’d like Codex Desktop to offer a direct code preview. It doesn’t need to be as sophisticated as VS Code or IntelliJ IDEA, but it should at least allow us to clearly see which parts of the code in the project have been modified.
