Feature request: automation/session title templates with date/time variables

What feature would you like?

Please add support for dynamic title templates for Codex automations and/or the sessions they create.

Today the automation name/title appears to be a fixed string. That makes recurring automations hard to distinguish in the session list unless the model manually includes the date in its response.

Example use case

I have a daily GitHub-trending automation. I want each run to create or rename the session title automatically to something like:

• 2026-05-13 GitHub每日热点
• GitHub Daily Hotspots - 2026-05-13
• Weekly Review - 2026-W20

Requested behavior

Support variables/placeholders in automation titles (and ideally session titles), for example:

• {date}
• {time}
• {datetime}
• {yyyy-MM-dd}
• strftime-like formatting

It would also be great if the same templating could be used when naming the thread/session created by an automation run.

Why this matters

• Makes recurring automation runs much easier to scan and distinguish
• Reduces the need to manually rename each session
• Avoids awkward prompt hacks like asking the model to rename the conversation every run
• Fits common automation/reporting workflows (daily/weekly digests, monitoring, reminders)

Related issues

This seems adjacent to, but not the same as:

• #15533 Add ability to rename Codex chat/session titles (CLI + VS Code)
• #5019 Dynamic Expressions, Command Substitution, and Context Variables in Custom Prompts

This request is specifically about first-class dynamic naming for scheduled automation runs.
