What version of Codex is running?

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Instead of asking:

Codex wants to run ls -la src/main/java/io/github/cowwoc/retirement/chatgpt | sed -n '1,200p'

Where the execution text is grayed out, highlight the commands ls and sed in white so they stand out. This way the user can quickly identify what commands codex is asking for permission to run. The arguments are less important and can remain grayed out.

What is the expected behavior?
