ChatGPT iOS Remote Codex permission prompt does not show the target file
What issue are you seeing?
When Remote Codex attempts to edit a file that it does not currently have permission to modify, ChatGPT for iOS displays a confirmation dialog.
However, the dialog only says:
Do you want to allow Codex to make this file change?
It does not identify which file will be modified. This makes it difficult to review the requested permission safely, especially when Codex is editing multiple files.

What steps can reproduce the bug?
Start a Remote Codex task in ChatGPT for iOS.
Let Codex attempt to edit a file outside its current writable scope.
Wait for the file-change permission dialog to appear.
Observe that the dialog does not display the target file path or filename.
What is the expected behavior?
The dialog should clearly display at least:
The target filename or full file path.
Whether the operation will create, edit, rename, or delete the file.
Ideally, the relevant repository or working-directory context.

The prompt should identify both object and effect: repository, normalized path, operation type, and whether the target is inside or outside the current writable scope. For rename or delete, show source and destination. The approval token should hash those fields so a later path change invalidates the prompt rather than reusing approval. On mobile, a compact first line can show filename and action, with the full canonical path available on expansion.
The look of the old version is sufficient for me; this might just be a regression issue.
