Feature request: update iTerm2 tab title when renaming a Codex CLI session

Resolved 💬 1 comment Opened May 11, 2026 by lcg8576-dotcom Closed May 11, 2026

What version of Codex CLI is running?

codex-cli 0.130.0

What subscription do you have?

Pro

Which model were you using?

gpt-5.5

What platform is your computer?

Darwin 24.6.0 arm64 arm

What terminal emulator and version are you using (if applicable)?

iTerm2 3.6.9 on macOS

What issue are you seeing?

I often run Codex CLI in multiple iTerm2 tabs at the same time, usually for different repositories or tasks.

When I rename a Codex CLI session, the session name changes inside Codex, but the iTerm2 tab title does not change. As a result, multiple tabs still look similar from the terminal tab bar, and it becomes harder to quickly find the right Codex session.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

  1. Open iTerm2 on macOS.
  2. Open multiple tabs.
  3. Start Codex CLI in each tab.
  4. Rename each Codex CLI session, for example:
  • fix-login-bug
  • review-api-change
  • release-check
  1. Look at the iTerm2 tab titles.

The Codex session names are updated inside Codex, but the terminal tab titles remain unchanged.

What is the expected behavior?
