What variant of Codex are you using?

CLI

What feature would you like to see?

What I Want

When Codex is blocked waiting for me (approval/confirmation/input), the terminal/tab title should clearly indicate that state instead of looking like it’s still working.

Why

Right now it’s hard to tell “Codex is actively doing something” vs “Codex is waiting on me” just by looking at tabs. The current behavior shows an animated loading symbol in both cases.

Gemini CLI handles this nicely by switching the title to something like:

• ✋ Action Required

This looks like a raised hand, which makes perfect sense ("hey, I have a question”).

Proposed behavior

Add a distinct “awaiting approval” title state:

• When Codex is awaiting approval / confirmation / input:

  • Set the title to ✋ Action Required (optionally include the session/folder name too, e.g. ✋ Action Required — new-feature)
  • Important: do not show the “working” animation in this state.

• When Codex is actively working:

  • Keep the existing working indicator/animation (it’s great).

Environment

macOS, iTerm2
