Summary

The Sources section in the right-side session/environment panel is not clickable or expandable, so users cannot inspect the detailed source/reference information behind the icons.

In the Codex conversation view, the right-side panel shows an Environment card. Under that card, there is a Sources section with source icons. However, clicking the Sources area or the icons does not open any details, expanded panel, popover, or reference list.

Observed behavior

The right-side panel displays a Sources section.
Source icons are visible under the section.
Clicking the Sources section or the icons does nothing.
There is no visible way to expand the section.
The user cannot see detailed reference links, source resources, or other source metadata.

Expected behavior

The Sources section should be interactive. Users should be able to click or expand it to inspect the detailed source/reference information used by the session.

For example, it should show information such as:

referenced links,
connected resources,
files or external sources used by the task,
source names and metadata,
any relevant reference details that explain what the source icons represent.

Actual behavior

The Sources section appears in the UI, but it cannot be clicked or expanded. The icons are visible, but the underlying details are inaccessible.

Why this matters

The Sources section looks like an important part of the session context. If it only shows icons without allowing users to inspect the actual references, users cannot verify what sources Codex used or understand what the icons mean.

This makes the feature incomplete and reduces transparency, especially for tasks where references, links, or external resources matter.

Request

Please make the right-side Sources section clickable/expandable so users can view detailed reference links and source resource information. If some source types are not currently supported, the UI should still explain what the icons mean instead of showing a non-interactive section.
