What feature would you like to see?

When a thread is renamed, this message gets displayed: "Thread renamed to {thread-name}, to resume this thread run codex resume {thread-name}" Which does not work. In fact, duplicates among threads' names are allowed, so we cannot point a specific thread with its name. We have to give the thread id instead.

Also, regardless of renaming a thread, exiting the thread displays: "To continue this session, run codex resume {thread-id}" Which, I think, looks awkward.

I think we would need to polish a bit so:

  1. /rename displays correct guide (unless we change the behaviour).
  2. /exit also mentions the thread name if it's renamed.

For example, /rename may display "Thread renamed to {thread-name}. To resume this thread run codex resume, then select {thread-name}({thread-id})"

/exit may display "To continue this session, run codex resume, then select {thread-name} ({thread-id})".
