I believe that the current development approach of Codex towards the SSH method is too incompatible, with various bugs present and issues not being resolved despite multiple releases. For instance, Codex cannot read the configuration of projects on SSH (.codex/config.toml), and when opening sub-agents, it often takes a long time to view the information of the sub-agents, which can easily freeze them. Opening Codex in multiple windows does not allow for a good preview of the content and chat logs of the sub-agents simultaneously. Also, browser previewing can actually be achieved by running the browser on Windows, and then forwarding the SSH port to the local computer through an SSH tunnel, so that the content of SSH can be accessed through the Codex browser on the local computer! I hope that the compatibility of SSH can be improved as soon as possible, and a Linux version of Codex desktop application can be released as soon as possible. Is it discrimination against Linux to have a MacOS version but not a Linux version?
When choosing SSH development, it is not possible to access the SSH web content using the local computer's browser
