Native AI-Generated Commit Messages with Chat Context

What variant of Codex are you using?
IDE Extension
What feature would you like to see?
Currently, users of Codex IDE have to manually summarize their work for commit messages or rely on separate third-party extensions. While extensions like Codex Git Commit Message Generator exist, having this natively integrated into the Codex IDE sidebar would create a more seamless "all-in-one" developer experience.
I would like to see a "Generate Commit Message" button (sparkle icon) integrated directly into the VS Code Source Control input box, powered natively by the Codex IDE extension.
Key features should include:
- Diff Analysis: Automatically analyze staged changes to draft a technical summary.
- Context-Aware Drafting: (The "Secret Sauce") Leverage the active chat thread and recent chat history within the Codex IDE. If I just spent 10 minutes discussing a bug fix for "user authentication" with the AI, the commit message should prioritize that context rather than just saying "Updated auth.js."
- One-Click Injection: Seamlessly populate the SCM input field with the generated text.
