No structured IDE context channel

What variant of Codex are you using?
Codex with our Eclipse IDE plugin (codexide.org)
What feature would you like to see?
TurnStartParams and TurnSteerParams define AdditionalContextEntry / AdditionalContextKind (untrusted | application), but no property references them: these are dead definitions in the schema.
As a result, the plugin serializes the active editor, cursor, selection, and open tabs as a text block pasted into the prompt.
This is token-expensive on every turn, untyped, impossible to refresh mid-turn, and the model may mistake it for the instruction.
Our request : expose additionalContext: [{kind, value}] on turn/start and turn/steer (the type already exists server-side, it's nearly free).
