Feature request: Claude Code-like /monitoring for background terminals #17737

@wolverin0

Description

@wolverin0

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:
