What variant of Codex are you using?
Codex App
What feature would you like to see?
When I give agent tasks that involve let's say running some time-consuming tests, I see that Agent just waits for the task to be finished, instead of launching other test that I want to compare with -- or do any other useful work.
Cursor already supports that, where you can ungate the Agent to do other useful work while it is waiting for some other task to finish. Would be awesome to see that implemented in Codex as well
