What variant of Codex are you using?

App

What feature would you like to see?

Support for running multiple simultaneous profiles. E.g in config.toml we can configure different providers/profiles, but I currently have to restart the app to swap between them, ideally I'd like to be able to run x number at the same time across different projects etc.

So inside a project/session you could select which profile/provider to use/consume and the session just runs with that.

Additional information

Ideally would also like config editing inside the app to avoid toml editing entirely, but that's out of scope here.

extent analysis

TL;DR

To support running multiple simultaneous profiles, consider modifying the application to dynamically load and switch between different profiles without requiring a restart.

Guidance

  • Investigate the current implementation of profile management in the config.toml file and how it interacts with the application's session management.
  • Explore the possibility of introducing a profile selection mechanism within the application, allowing users to choose a profile for each project/session.
  • Consider the potential need for a profile registry or manager to handle the creation, management, and switching of multiple profiles.
  • Evaluate the feasibility of implementing a dynamic configuration system that can load and apply different profiles without requiring a restart.

Example

No code snippet is provided due to the lack of specific technical details in the issue.

Notes

The solution may require significant changes to the application's architecture and configuration management system. Additionally, the issue does not provide enough information about the current implementation, making it difficult to provide a more detailed solution.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Implement a profile selection mechanism within the application to allow users to choose a profile for each project/session, as this seems to be the primary requirement.
