What issue are you seeing?

Sometimes the message edit icon is not visible, and there is no reliable way to rewind, rollback, or restore to a checkpoint from the UI.

In other tools such as Cursor and Claude Code, editing/rewinding/checkpoint restore is reliable enough to recover from a bad turn. In Codex, when the edit affordance is missing or hard to find, there is no obvious fallback path to return to a previous state.

Additional feedback: /feedback currently does not allow attaching screenshots, which makes this kind of UI bug harder to report with evidence.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

What is the expected behavior?

• The edit icon should be consistently visible/discoverable when message editing is available.
• Codex should provide a reliable rewind/rollback/checkpoint restore flow.
• Users should have a clear way to recover from an undesirable turn, similar to the reliable checkpoint flows in Cursor or Claude Code.
• /feedback should allow attaching screenshots for UI reports.
