The /undo slash command doesn't exist anymore: https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/8424. But I don't understand this move. Why remove /undo? @jif-oai

We've decided to remove the /undo functionality. It was not getting much usage, and the implementation was causing a number of problems — even for users who didn't use it. If you have a need for this feature, consider opening a new feature request (or search for an existing one if you're not the first to come across this comment) and describe your use case and desired behavior.
