Proposal to add an option to disable text animation in interactive mode for better VoiceOver support

What version of Codex is running?

codex-cli 0.20.0

Which model were you using?

Any

What platform is your computer?

Darwin 24.6.0 arm64 arm

What steps can reproduce the bug?

I use the VoiceOver screen-reader on Mac OS.

Anytime Codex is 'Working' the word 'Working' is read out loud 1 character at a time. This happens continually, and I assume it is related to some type of text animation that serves as a visual affordence that progress is occurring.

This interferes with the ability to use the VoiceOver screen-reader to engage with the content with in the erminal window / to review the work that Codex is doing.

1. Open terminal and initiate Codex
2. Turn on VOiceOver on Mac OS (CMD+F5)
3. Initiate any command for Codex to start working
4. Hear the letters w, o, r, k, i, n, g, read in sequence repeatedly.

What is the expected behavior?

Ideally there would be a CLI option such as --no-text-animation

This would disable any animations within Codex that interfere with using VoiceOver within a Codex interactive session.

What do you see instead?

_No response_

Additional information

There may be other animations that will interfere with VoiceOver,, but they are presently masked by the 'working' animation.
