Description

What variant of Codex are you using?

Codex with our Eclipse IDE plugin (codexide.org)

What feature would you like to see?

FileChangeRequestApprovalParams only contains itemId, reason, grantRoot, threadId, turnId, but not the paths or the patch.
You have to correlate with item/fileChange/patchUpdated. The decisions are accept / acceptForSession / decline / cancel.

What is missing: partial acceptance (hunk by hunk), amending the patch before application, and above all a "proposal" mode where the client applies it itself.
This would allow going through Eclipse's undo, file, and Java refactorings, instead of writing under Eclipse's nose and forcing a rescan.

Research direction

Start by reading FileChangeRequestApprovalParams and the item/fileChange/patchUpdated flow described in the issue. Clarify how partial acceptance, patch amendment, and client-applied proposal mode should interact with the existing accept, acceptForSession, decline, and cancel decisions. Done means an agreed protocol design that lets the Eclipse client apply changes itself.
