Add option to hide “Recent tasks” in Codex sidebar

What version of the VS Code extension are you using?

0.4.15

Which IDE are you using?

VS Code

What platform is your computer?

Darwin 25.0.0 arm64 arm

What steps can reproduce the bug?

This is not a bug but a feature request.
Currently, the Codex sidebar always shows a “Recent tasks” section. In work environments, this may expose private or personal tasks to colleagues, which can be uncomfortable.

What is the expected behavior?

Please add an option in the settings (or a toggle in the sidebar) to hide or collapse the “Recent tasks” section, so users can keep their private tasks confidential when sharing their screen or working in public.

What do you see instead?

Currently, the Codex sidebar always displays a “Recent tasks” section. There is no option to hide or collapse it. This means personal or private tasks are visible whenever the sidebar is open, which can be awkward in work environments when sharing screens with colleagues.

Additional information

A simple toggle in the extension settings (e.g., Show/Hide Recent tasks) or a collapse button in the sidebar would solve the issue.
This would improve privacy and make the extension more suitable for professional use cases.
