codex - 💡(How to fix) Fix Show project-level task status when a workspace folder is collapsed

What feature would you like to see?

Summary

In the Codex desktop app, when a project/workspace folder in the right sidebar is collapsed, it is not possible to see whether any tasks inside that folder are still running or have recently finished.

Current behavior

When the folder is expanded, running tasks inside the project show a visible status indicator, such as a spinner.

However, if I collapse the project folder, the parent folder row does not show any aggregated status. This makes it easy to miss that a task is still running, or that a task has completed, unless I manually expand the folder again.

Expected behavior

Please add a project-level status indicator to collapsed workspace/project folders.

For example:

• Show a running/in-progress indicator on the collapsed folder row if any task inside that project is currently running.
• Show a completed/recently-finished indicator when a task inside that project finishes.
• Optionally show a count badge if multiple tasks are running.
• A tooltip or click behavior could reveal which task is active.

Why this would be useful

When working with multiple projects, users often collapse folders to keep the sidebar clean. A project-level status indicator would make it much easier to monitor background Codex tasks without expanding every project folder repeatedly.

Screenshot

The attached screenshot shows an expanded project where a running task is visible, and another collapsed project folder where there is no clear project-level running status.
