Allow Codex Extension to read VS Code Debug Console, Terminals, and Problems tab as context #7078

Description

What feature would you like to see?

I’d like Codex CLI to be able to use runtime output and diagnostics from VS Code as part of its context. Specifically:

Debug Console output

Integrated Terminal output

The Problems tab (errors, warnings, lint results)

Right now I have to manually copy/paste stack traces, compiler errors, and logs into Codex. It breaks flow. If Codex CLI could automatically read what VS Code already shows, it would make debugging, error explanation, and code fixing much faster.

This would allow Codex to respond based on actual errors and logs instead of only the static files. It would feel closer to a real pair-programming experience.

Even a simple opt-in feature like “include Problems diagnostics” or “include last N lines of Debug Console” would be a huge improvement.
