Feature request: hide file/artifact cards when diff summary is shown in Codex VS Code extension #21475

Description

What would you like to see?

Please add a setting to hide the file/artifact cards that appear in Codex chat responses after a file edit, while keeping the compact file-change / diff summary with Undo and Review actions visible.

Why?

In recent versions of the Codex VS Code extension, the same file edit can appear twice in the chat UI:

  1. A large file/document card with an Open button.
  2. A compact 1 file changed diff/checkpoint summary with Undo and Review controls.

The second view is useful because it directly exposes review and undo actions. The first card often duplicates the same information and adds vertical noise, especially in longer agent sessions.

Suggested behavior

Add a setting such as:

"chatgpt.showFileArtifactCards": false

or similar, so users can keep the review/diff summary while hiding the larger file cards.

Environment

  • VS Code: 1.118.1
  • Codex VS Code extension: openai.chatgpt 26.429.30905
  • Platform: Windows

Notes

This is not about disabling VS Code chat checkpoints entirely. The compact file-change summary is the preferred UI; the request is only to hide the larger duplicate file/artifact card.
