What issue are you seeing?

Summary

In Cursor, after moving the Codex view from the Primary Side Bar to the Secondary Side Bar (right side, same area as Cursor Chat), triggering chatgpt.newChat still opens the left primary sidebar.

This makes the command behave as if Codex were still located in the primary sidebar.

Expected behavior

chatgpt.newChat should create a new Codex thread in the existing Codex sidebar location.
If Codex is currently in the Secondary Side Bar, it should stay there and should not open the left primary sidebar.

Actual behavior

chatgpt.newChat opens the left primary sidebar, even though Codex has already been moved to the right secondary sidebar.

Environment

• Cursor
• OpenAI Codex extension
• Windows
• Codex view manually moved to Secondary Side Bar

What steps can reproduce the bug?

1. Open Cursor.
2. Move the Codex view from the Primary Side Bar to the Secondary Side Bar.
3. Make sure Codex is already visible in the right sidebar.
4. Trigger the chatgpt.newChat command, for example via a custom keybinding like:

Ctrl+Alt+N

What is the expected behavior?

chatgpt.newChat should create a new Codex thread in the existing Codex sidebar location.
If Codex is currently in the Secondary Side Bar, it should stay there and should not open the left primary sidebar.

Additional information

This appears to be tied to the implementation of chatgpt.newChat, which seems to explicitly open/focus the Codex sidebar container before sending the new-chat action, instead of respecting the current visible location of the Codex view.
