What variant of Codex are you using?
IDE Extension (version 26.422.71525)
What feature would you like to see?
Problem
When Codex finishes a response / agent turn, asks a follow-up question, or waits for user approval, the VS Code extension does not reliably notify the user through the editor or the operating system.
This is painful for long-running tasks: after switching to another window, I have to keep checking the Codex panel manually to know whether the turn is done or whether Codex needs input.
Desired behavior
Please add an opt-in notification setting for the IDE extension.
Suggested events:
agent-turn-completeneeds-user-inputapproval-requestedcloud-task-complete
Suggested behavior:
- only notify when the editor / Codex panel is unfocused by default
- optionally allow
always
- use VS Code notification APIs where possible
- optionally support sound
- optionally bridge to the existing external
notify hook if feasible
- include a “Do not show again” / disable setting to avoid notification spam
Why this matters
Codex often performs multi-minute tasks. A lightweight notification would make background usage much more practical, especially in VS Code-compatible editors where the Codex panel may be hidden or out of focus.
