What variant of Codex are you using?
App
What feature would you like to see?
Problem:
When many projects are pinned, it becomes hard to distinguish which working directory a thread is using.
Request:
Show the project path somewhere visible in the thread UI (for example at the top/header area where there is already unused space, displayed in a slightly greyed-out style?)
Why:
This would make it easier to quickly confirm the active project/working directory and avoid confusion when switching between pinned projects.

Something like this? (Note that current Codex.app already exposes the path as tooltips in various other places, this is really just to make it easier at-a-glance, without having to mouse over some other area of the UI.)
