What issue are you seeing?

I want a centralized place in the Codex app to monitor commands run by the agent.

Right now, command output appears inline in the chat history. For long-running work, multiple commands, dev servers, test watchers, or parallel tasks, this is hard to follow because I have to scroll through the thread and find the relevant command block.

Requested UX:

• Add a sidebar or panel showing all commands run in the current thread.
• Clearly mark commands as running, completed, failed, or canceled.
• Allow clicking a command to see full stdout/stderr logs.
• Keep live logs updating for active commands.
• Support pinning important commands, like dev servers or test watchers.
• Show command metadata: cwd, start time, duration, exit code, approval/escalation status.
• Include filters: active only, failed only, current turn, all thread commands.
• Make it available from the task sidebar, terminal area, or a dedicated command monitor panel.

Why this matters:
Codex can run many tools during a thread, but visibility gets worse as the thread grows. A command monitor would make long-running sessions easier to supervise, reduce duplicated commands, and make failures easier to debug without chasing command blocks in chat history.

Suggested acceptance criteria:

• I can open one panel and see every command Codex has run in the thread.
• I can immediately identify which commands are still running.
• I can inspect logs for any command without scrolling through chat.
• I can pin or keep important long-running commands visible.
