What variant of Codex are you using?

Codex Desktop

What feature would you like to see?

Research direction

The request concerns a possible open-source Codex Desktop version, while the current product is described as a TUI. No files, tests, or implementation entry points are named; first clarify the intended desktop scope and whether the work is a product-direction decision. Done would require an agreed direction and documented scope before implementation can begin.
