Remote projects should remember folder paths and support saved locations

Feature request: saved remote project locations

Author: alexanderxcmo

When using Codex Desktop with remote projects, the current project picker requires manually navigating back to the folder path every time. For users working across multiple machines and many repositories, this creates unnecessary friction.

Example workflow:

• Laptop connecting to a desktop workstation
• Laptop connecting to a Linux/WSL development environment
• Many repositories across different remote hosts

It would be much better if Codex could provide:

1. Remember last folder per remote host

Example:

Desktop workstation
→ ~/Development/current-project

Next time opening a new remote project, Codex could start from the last used location for that host.

2. Saved favorites / pinned locations

Example:

⭐ Development
  - ~/Development/projects
  - ~/Development/apps
  - ~/Development/sandboxes

⭐ Linux / WSL
  - ~/workspace/projects
  - ~/workspace/tools

3. Recent locations

A small history list would make switching projects much faster.

Why this matters

Codex remote projects are especially useful for developers with multiple machines, but the current flow feels more like navigating a file browser than managing projects. Having remembered locations and favorites would make the experience much smoother for anyone working across several environments.

Thanks for building Codex. The remote workflow is already really useful, and this would make switching between projects feel much more seamless.
