TUI Vim mode: ^ does not move to the first non-blank character

What variant of Codex are you using?
Codex CLI TUI (codex-cli 0.144.0).
What feature would you like to see?
Support the standard Vim ^ motion in composer Normal mode.
In Vim, 0 moves to column zero and ^ moves to the first non-blank character. Codex supports 0, but pressing ^ has no effect.
Reproduction
- Enable Vim mode.
- Enter an indented line:
``text``
alpha
- Press
Esc, then$, then^.
Expected: the cursor moves to a.
Actual: the cursor remains at the end of the line.
