Centralized conversation management across multiple remote SSH environments #19652

What variant of Codex are you using?

cli,app

What feature would you like to see?

I frequently use Codex across multiple remote SSH servers. In practice, this means I often need to switch between different servers and then manually find or resume the Codex conversations running on each machine.

Since I am logged in with the same account across these environments, it would be very helpful to have a centralized way to view and manage all Codex conversations from my local machine, regardless of which remote server they were started on.

For example, I would like to be able to:

See all active and recent Codex conversations across all remote SSH servers from one local interface.
Identify which server or working directory each conversation belongs to.
Resume, organize, or clean up conversations without manually SSH-ing into each server.
Avoid losing track of ongoing work when multiple long-running tasks are distributed across different machines.

The current workflow makes it easy to forget that a certain conversation or task is still active on another server, especially when working across several remote environments in parallel.

A centralized conversation/session management feature would make Codex much smoother for users who rely on multi-server SSH workflows.
