Description

What variant of Codex are you using?

Codex with our Eclipse IDE plugin (codexide.org)

What feature would you like to see?

Eclipse has N projects at arbitrary locations, but thread/start and turn/start only take a single cwd.
The SelectedCapabilityRoot / CapabilityRootLocation types exist in the schema but are likewise unreachable.
workspaceWrite.writableRoots allows multiple write roots, but the model only sees one.
Consequence : one conversation per project, or root = entire workspace.

Research direction

Start by tracing thread/start and turn/start and inspect the SelectedCapabilityRoot, CapabilityRootLocation, and workspaceWrite.writableRoots schema types. Check how cwd and writable roots reach the model, then define completion around supporting multiple project locations within one conversation and covering the relevant request and schema behavior with tests.
