Generate project run commands automatically in Codex Desktop

What variant of Codex are you using?

App

What feature would you like to see?

When I click Run for a project in the Codex Desktop app, Codex could use the model to inspect the project and generate a suitable run command automatically.

For example, it could detect files like package.json, Makefile, Cargo.toml, or pyproject.toml, then suggest a command such as npm run dev, make run, cargo run, or another project-specific command.

This would make it easier to open a project and start it without manually figuring out the correct command first.

Additional information

Ideally, the generated command should be shown to the user and be editable before execution.
