Problem
Codex CLI can resume saved sessions with codex resume SESSION_ID, but only after exiting the active TUI. Claude Code supports /resume from within an active session, so users can switch to saved work without leaving the interface.
This matters when someone starts a fresh session and then realizes they need to continue earlier work.
Requested behavior
/resumeopens the existing resume picker for the current workspace./resume SESSION_IDswitches directly to the specified saved session.- The current session remains saved and can be resumed later.
Context
A similar request was raised in #4056, but it is closed and the feature is still unavailable in the current CLI.
