What feature would you like to see?
Please create an IDE extension that shows code diffs in an interface like Claude Code. Right now, the code diffs shown in the CLI are fragmented and only display pieces of the code. It would be more convenient if it is implemented.
Are you interested in implementing this feature?

is this a dup of https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/2378 ?

I am using the CLI version 0.98 which has this functionality. But it seems to be removed or severely downgraded in version 0.101. The colorized syntax highlighting has been removed. In addition the showing of the diff and the permission request for actually making the change are not in the same reply anymore.
I use a simple workflow where I ask codex to make changes, and it shows the colorized diff and permission request in the same reply. I cannot do this anymore in 0.101 so I reverted to 0.98. Can this functionality be restored? Should I make a separate issue for this?
@eborremans, please open a new bug report.
