What variant of Codex are you using?
cli
What feature would you like to see?
A way to ask Codex to consult ChatGPT Pro for a better answer on a specific issue. It should be based on consent, since there are strict limits on how many pro requests we can make, but it should be possible from the CLI.
Additional information
Occasionally I find that asking Codex to write an MD file with self-contained problem definition, pasting it to ChatGPT Pro on the web, and pasting the result back to Codex produces better results when tackling a truly nontrivial problem that Codex is unable to resolve on its own.
I'd like it to become an official workflow inside Codex - you ask it to "ask Pro for help", and it will do it internally.

Can codex-app already do this via ”computer use” a logged-in browser?
I don't know, but it doesn't change the nature of the feature request. I'm on Linux - there is no Codex app on Linux.
OK. Meanwhile I built this plugin, with the generous help of ChatGPT-Pro itself :)

But this is just a workaround. It's nice, but it's nothing compared to the quality of ChatGPT Pro's answers.
GPT-5.6 Ultra is now available in Codex.
Is Ultra supposed to work at par with Pro? They share some substrates under the hood?
