Codex CLI TUI content is clipped on very small screens #37007

Description

@DarrylMcoder

What version of Codex CLI is running?\n\ncodex-cli 0.146.0\n\n### What subscription do you have?\n\nAPI billing using API-key authentication\n\n### Which model were you using?\n\nDefault model\n\n### What platform is your computer?\n\nLinux 6.8.0-1060-raspi aarch64 aarch64\n\n### What terminal emulator and version are you using (if applicable)?\n\nGNU Screen on a Raspberry Pi console. TERM=screen.linux. Codex reports an 80x24 terminal displayed on an approximately 3-inch screen.\n\n### Codex doctor report\n\nSchema version: 1\nOverall status: ok\nCodex version: 0.146.0\nRuntime platform: linux-aarch64\nInstall method: standalone\nTerminal: GNU Screen, TERM=screen.linux, 80x24\n\n### What issue are you seeing?\n\nThe Codex CLI TUI is not friendly to very small physical displays. On an approximately 3-inch screen, some interface content is cut off and cannot be comfortably read or accessed. The layout does not adapt sufficiently to the limited visible area.\n\n### What steps can reproduce the bug?\n\n1. Run Codex CLI on a Raspberry Pi connected to an approximately 3-inch display.\n2. Use GNU Screen with TERM=screen.linux and an 80x24 terminal.\n3. Navigate the normal Codex TUI and its menus or dialogs.\n4. Observe that some UI content is clipped or extends beyond the usable display area.\n\nUploaded thread: 019fcf07-ec25-7403-b870-17fd633b474f\n\n### What is the expected behavior?\n\nThe TUI should adapt to very small screens by using compact layouts, wrapping content, and allowing scrolling where necessary. Important controls and text should remain visible and accessible without being cut off.\n\n### Additional information\n\nThe problem concerns the physical screen size and readability even though the reported terminal grid is 80x24.
