What variant of Codex are you using?
App
What feature would you like to see?
When Codex starts local development services like 'npm run dev', 'vite', 'uvicorn', 'next dev', etcetera. There's no persistent record of those services after restarting the app, so I often have to dig through past conversations or ask Codex how it originally started something, which breaks flow, especially in multi-service projects. Proposed solution: Add a project-level services panel that automatically records each service Codex starts, its command, working directory, env, port, status, and provides start, stop, and restart actions. On app restart, detect missing services and offer one-click start
