What is the issue?

The Codex VSCode extension misses a CHANGELOG that shows what actually changed in any given release.

The current Marketplace version history page (https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=openai.chatgpt) only displays the date of Codex VSCode releases, but nothing else. Why upgrade from X to Y if there's no way to understand what that implies or buys us? Did /review or /status find it's way from the Codex CLI release into the VSCode extension release? Currently, there's no way to answer that question.

Looking at the https://github.com/openai/codex repo's git commits or browsing the github issues does not yield any further info either - they are only concerned with the Codex CLI.
Twitter? ouf of luck.
Codex VSCode Menu or Button? Nothing like that exists, unfortunately.

If the Codex VSCode extension had a public git repo I could easily figure it out myself from the git commits, but there's no such public repo either.

The extension simply appears as a black box.

FWIW, here is an example how a normal CHANGELOG page looks like: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items/ms-python.python/changelog
That is, it contains the usual kind of CHANGELOG entries, not just a laconic date, and the page is reachable by clicking "Version History", then clicking "CHANGELOG" at https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-python.python
