codex exec resume should support --output-schema
What variant of Codex are you using?
CLI, headless mode
What feature would you like to see?
codex exec resume should support --output-schema <FILE>, matching top-level codex exec.
Follow-up to #14343. That issue requested both -o and --output-schema for codex exec resume, but only the -o / --output-last-message part appears to be completed via #12538. Current codex exec resume --help shows -o, but not --output-schema.
Current behavior:
codex exec resume <SESSION_ID> --json --output-schema schema.json -o output.json "follow-up prompt"
fails because --output-schema is not accepted on exec resume.
Why this matters:
Multi-turn automation needs both:
- resumed conversation/session context
- schema-validated JSON output for each resumed turn
Without this, automated workflows have to choose between memory and structured output, or add brittle post-processing around free-form final messages.
Expected behavior:
codex exec resume <SESSION_ID> \
--json \
--output-schema schema.json \
-o output.json \
"follow-up prompt"
should behave like codex exec --output-schema, but preserve the resumed session context.
