Add auto-open mode for agents needing input

What variant of Codex are you using?

CLI (codex agents and /agents)

What feature would you like to see?

Add an optional auto-open mode to Agent View. When enabled, Codex should automatically open a task when it newly needs approval or user input, so unattended agents can keep moving without the user repeatedly scanning the dashboard.

The mode should:

• have a visible on/off indicator and an Agent View keyboard shortcut;
• remain enabled while the current Codex process is running, then reset on relaunch;
• open the oldest newly waiting task;
• open each waiting request only once rather than reopening it on every refresh;
• continue watching after Agent View closes; and
• ignore ordinary task errors, which should remain visible without taking focus.

Additional information

The approved mockup also shows the surrounding compact Agent View I have designed: the selection marker remains unchanged, each status gem sits directly before the task name, and one latest agent line makes the list scannable. The latest-line behavior is tracked separately in #41420.

Start by tracing the CLI Agent View and the task-status updates that identify newly waiting agents. Done means an on/off indicator and keyboard shortcut control a process-lifetime mode that opens each oldest newly waiting task once, continues watching after Agent View closes, and leaves ordinary errors unfocused.
