What feature would you like to see?
I would like codex cli to state the team ID on startup, reasoning being:
- I use codex for work and preventing learning on my data is non-negotiable
- Being required to ask codex each time I open it to determine how its going to post my requests is tedious
Additional information
I prefer codex cli over codex window because the experience is superior
- I can open a new prompt in my integrated terminal and close it without cluttering my screen

Does the
/statuscommand not provide you with the information you need? It prints the account, similar to how it's displayed in the VS Code extension when you click on the gear icon.No, this output says im part of a team. The id is important because that tells me if I'm using a personal team vs my employers team.
Not knowing which team I'm part of is the issue. In the past I have accidentally used a personal team when I meant to be using my employers leading to needing data purged.

Doesn't the account name differentiate between the two? Or are you using the same email address for both accounts?
Both accounts have the same email, another annoyance.
If I could remove my personal account and only use the team associated one, that would be an adequate fix.
