What variant of Codex are you using?

cli

What feature would you like to see?

/side is ephemeral by design, but the chats that you might have there are sometimes end up producing useful context for future work. Would be nice to be able to easily store these without having to tell the chat export some sort of handoff markdown. Instead I'd like to be able to resume / point codex at a session file for context.

The ask here is to manually opt in to transitioning from ephemeral to a non-ephemeral thread somehow. It's possible that this is available through some path already, but I didn't see it. (Asking codex to find a way to do this didn't turn up anything obvious - I resorted to letting it write out a markdown handoff doc instead).

TL;DR

The user is looking for a way to transition from an ephemeral thread to a non-ephemeral thread in Codex, potentially by resuming a session from a file.

Guidance

  • Investigate existing Codex commands or features that may allow for manually opting in to transition from ephemeral to non-ephemeral threads.
  • Explore the possibility of using a session file to provide context for future work, potentially by resuming a session from the file.
  • Check the Codex documentation or support resources to see if this feature is already available or if there are any plans to implement it.
  • Consider submitting a feature request to the Codex development team if the desired functionality is not currently available.

Notes

The issue lacks technical details, and without more information, it's difficult to provide a specific solution. The guidance provided is based on the user's request and may not be comprehensive.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: The user may need to resort to using the current workaround of letting Codex write out a markdown handoff doc until a more direct solution is available.
