Description
Summary
In the Codex desktop app, a voice-session agent can clone a repository locally but cannot complete the final "Open Folder" / add-project selection in the Codex UI. Computer-use control is blocked for the Codex app, and no supported programmatic action is available to register the cloned local repository as a project.
Expected behavior
Provide a supported, user-authorized way for a voice-session agent to open a specified local folder as a Codex project, or expose an equivalent action through the desktop integration.
Why this matters
This leaves an otherwise complete workflow with a manual handoff solely to add the already-cloned repository to Codex.
