RAW_BUFFERClick to expand / collapse

What feature would you like to see?

Please add a setting for the Codex desktop app to automatically expand the "Working" section in assistant responses, so users do not have to click the disclosure arrow each time.

Why is this useful?

When using Codex in Coding detail mode, I often want to watch commands, reasoning summaries, and progress details as they happen. The current collapsed default adds repetitive clicking across every response/thread.

Suggested behavior

Add a setting such as:

Settings > General > Auto-expand Working details

or remember the user's last expanded/collapsed preference per thread.

Environment

  • Codex desktop app
  • Windows
  • Running Codex against a project/environment in WSL
  • Detail level: Coding mode
