Description
What variant of Codex are you using?
CLI
What feature would you like to see?
Codex should support seamless session handoff between CLI, web, and iOS.
I want to start a normal codex session in my terminal, leave my desk, open ChatGPT/Codex on my phone or the web, and continue the exact same session — including context, running processes, approvals, diffs, and terminal state — then return to the CLI later. Claude Code’s remote/session continuation sets the expectation here. Requiring the ChatGPT desktop app to be the session host makes Codex Remote considerably less useful for CLI-first developers.

Research direction
Start by reading the related issue #33948 and the existing Codex Remote behavior mentioned in the report. Compare the CLI, ChatGPT/Codex web, and iOS session entry points, then define what shared context, processes, approvals, diffs, and terminal state must persist for a session to resume across clients.
