Mobile remote: group Git worktree sessions by repository instead of exact cwd

What variant of Codex are you using?

CLI standalone remote-control + ChatGPT mobile Codex remote

What feature would you like to see?

When using Codex CLI remote-control with multiple Git worktrees from the same repository, ChatGPT mobile currently presents each thread working directory as its own Project.

For worktree-heavy workflows, this makes one repository appear as many mobile projects. It would be easier to navigate if mobile remote grouped sessions by Git repository identity, such as Git common-dir, repository root, or origin URL, and then showed individual worktrees/branches/threads underneath that repository.

Example:

Current mobile grouping:

• main
• fix-login
• update-deps
• experiment-a

Preferred grouping:

• my-repo
• main
• fix-login
• update-deps
• experiment-a

The key behavior I’m asking for is not to change the execution cwd. Each thread should still run in its original worktree. This is only about project/list organization in mobile remote.

Additional information

Observed with Codex CLI standalone 0.143.0 using remote-control from macOS, connected from ChatGPT mobile on iOS.

The remote-control workflow itself works well: mobile can connect to the host, continue the same thread, and sync with a fresh terminal session. The rough edge is that the mobile project list appears to group by exact thread cwd, which fragments a single Git repository into many top-level Projects when the user works from multiple Git worktrees.

A repository-aware grouping could use signals such as:

• git rev-parse --git-common-dir
• git rev-parse --show-toplevel
• remote origin URL
• branch/worktree name as the child label

Related issues I found before filing:

• #30570: Expose worktree-aware thread environment APIs in Codex SDK/app-server
• #29698: Codex App groups chats under the topmost saved project when multiple saved projects share a repo
• #29459: iOS Codex can view existing worktree threads but cannot create or select permanent worktree threads
• #22925: Codex Mobile remote new thread cannot choose worktree or starting branch
• #23418: Mobile remote-created worktree thread is not associated with project in Codex Desktop sidebar

I do not think those are the same request. This one is specifically about mobile remote project/list grouping for existing CLI remote-control sessions across multiple Git worktrees.
