What variant of Codex are you using?

App

What feature would you like to see?

When running the codex app, it warns you that threads will be cancelled if you press the update button. It would be great to be able to "queue" and update, either for when all threads are done, or somehow "pause" all threads at appropriate places in their loops, then performing the update, then restarting the app and continuing seamlessly from where you left off.

extent analysis

TL;DR

Implement a thread management system to pause or queue updates when the update button is pressed, ensuring seamless continuation after the update.

Guidance

  • Identify the current thread management approach in the Codex app to understand how threads are handled when the update button is pressed.
  • Explore possible solutions for pausing threads at safe points, such as using synchronization mechanisms or callbacks to pause and resume threads.
  • Consider implementing a queue system to store updates when threads are active, applying them when all threads are idle or paused.
  • Investigate if the Codex app's architecture supports thread persistence or checkpointing to resume threads from a previous state after an update.

Notes

The feasibility of this feature depends on the underlying architecture and thread management of the Codex app, which is not provided in the issue description.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Implement a thread management system with pausing or queuing functionality, as the issue implies a need for a custom solution to manage threads during updates.
