Description
To address the somewhat cluttered session management in the Codex VS Code extension, I built a plugin that automatically scans sessions and archived_sessions.
- Browse local Codex sessions by project folder.
- View user messages, Codex responses, and tool call summaries.
- Monitor local session changes and refresh automatically.
- Open the project workspace and jump into the official Codex extension.
- Restore a selected local session in verified Codex versions.
- Keep the original Codex session files strictly read-only.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the linked CodexChat project and its local session-browser behavior. Determine whether this functionality belongs in the Codex repository, then define an in-repository entry point and acceptance tests for browsing, refresh, restore, and read-only handling.
