Request a Claude Code-like /monitoring workflow for background terminals in Codex.

This includes:

  • a dedicated monitored view for running background terminals
  • readiness / warning / error pattern detection surfaced in the TUI
  • a targeted stop action for a single background terminal by process_id
  • a slash-command UX similar to Claude Code-style monitoring flows

Error Message

  • readiness / warning / error pattern detection surfaced in the TUI
  • inline TUI notifications when a monitored terminal emits ready / warning / error signals

Summary

Request a Claude Code-like /monitoring workflow for background terminals in Codex.

This includes:

  • a dedicated monitored view for running background terminals
  • readiness / warning / error pattern detection surfaced in the TUI
  • a targeted stop action for a single background terminal by process_id
  • a slash-command UX similar to Claude Code-style monitoring flows

Proposed UX

  • /monitors to show monitored background terminals
  • /monitor-stop <process_id> to stop one monitored terminal
  • inline TUI notifications when a monitored terminal emits ready / warning / error signals

Implementation branch

A working implementation was prepared here:

PR creation is currently blocked by permissions for openai/codex, so this issue is being opened first to track the feature request and proposed implementation.

extent analysis

TL;DR

Implementing a Claude Code-like /monitoring workflow for background terminals in Codex requires integrating the proposed implementation branch into the main codebase.

Guidance

  • Review the proposed implementation branch (wolverin0:feat/monitor-background-terminals) and compare it with the main branch to understand the changes made.
  • Test the implementation by running the /monitors and /monitor-stop <process_id> commands to ensure they work as expected.
  • Verify that the TUI notifications are displayed correctly for ready, warning, and error signals emitted by monitored terminals.
  • Check the commit history (535e61f) to see the specific changes made to implement the feature.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue does not contain specific code details, but the implementation branch can be reviewed for examples.

Notes

The implementation is currently blocked by permissions, so the feature request is being tracked through this issue. The proposed implementation branch should be reviewed and tested before merging into the main codebase.

Recommendation

Apply the workaround by reviewing and testing the proposed implementation branch, as it seems to provide the required functionality. This will allow for the feature to be tested and validated before the permissions issue is resolved.
