What variant of Codex are you using?

App

What feature would you like to see?

The one thing about the CLI is that you're able to view edits as they happen, inline. With the codex app, the only thing you can do is review changes in the right panel but that doesn't help when you've got hundreds of edits across dozens of files.

Please allow auto-expanding inline Edits within the chat as it happens. I'd like to review these changes as they're being applied so I can steer and react more accurately as needed.

extent analysis

TL;DR

The user is requesting a feature to auto-expand inline edits within the chat as they happen, similar to the CLI, to improve the review process.

Guidance

  • The issue seems to be a feature request rather than a bug, so the focus should be on implementing or prioritizing this feature.
  • To verify the need for this feature, review the current workflow and user experience of the Codex App, especially when dealing with multiple edits across many files.
  • Consider gathering more user feedback to understand the importance and potential impact of implementing this feature.
  • If this feature is deemed necessary, prioritize it in the development roadmap and allocate resources accordingly.

Notes

The provided information lacks technical details, so a specific solution or code implementation cannot be suggested.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Implement a temporary solution, such as a periodic refresh of the chat panel or a manual expand option, to partially address the user's need until the full feature can be developed.
