Use project name as prefix in new chat titles

hello,
Feature request: Use project name as prefix in new chat titles
When starting a new chat inside a project/workspace, Codex could include the project name as a prefix in the automatically generated chat title.
For example, if the current project is ZABBIX-API and the chat is about checking toner information in a dashboard, the generated title could be:
ZABBIX-API - Verificar toner no dashboard
Instead of only:
Verificar toner no dashboard
Motivation
This would make it easier to identify chats later, especially when working across multiple repositories or projects.
In the chat history, many conversations can have similar names, and without the project context it becomes harder to know which repository or workspace each conversation belongs to.
Expected behavior
When a new chat title is automatically generated, Codex should optionally prepend the current project/repository/workspace name.
Suggested format:
<PROJECT_NAME> - <generated chat title>
Benefits
- Easier navigation in chat history.
- Better context when switching between projects.
- Less ambiguity when multiple projects have similar tasks.
- More useful exported/shared chat titles.
Possible configuration
This could be configurable, for example:
Include project name in generated chat titles: on/off
Or Codex could apply it automatically when the chat is associated with a known repository/workspace.

Yes please, for me this would be very helpful in the Codex/ChatGPT app, where I like to switch between
Organize sidebar:By projectandIn one list.Sometimes
In one listis just easier to see what I worked on last and follow multiple sessions across multiple project more clearly right next to each other, but then lose context and have to remember what name relates to which project which isn't always obvious.
