Description

What variant of Codex are you using?

CLI

What feature would you like to see?

ThreadID 019fefdd-9144-7bb2-a889-960945ad2527

Codex needs a feature that is available in the claude code CLI harness if you want claude to monitor a process it will just set a monitor and do it, And when the process exits or the condition the monitor was monitoring is met, claude automatically starts doing what it was told to do. However codex doesnt really have this built into the harness, yes what I am doing here is a workaround using a /goal , but full monitor functionality would be much cleaner. Also I trust gpt 5.6 sol alot more than claude for being able to monitor a process and acting when the condition of the monitor when I am AFK.

Research direction

The issue does not name a file, test, or entry point. Begin by locating the Codex CLI harness and its existing /goal behavior; done would mean supporting monitors that observe a process or condition and automatically resume the requested work when it completes.
