Description
What variant of Codex are you using?
CLI
What feature would you like to see?
Allow users to specify the launcher name shown in exit resume hints.
I launch Codex through a shell alias or wrapper, such as my-codex, but the exit hint always shows codex resume <session-id>. I need to edit the command before pasting it to use my usual launcher.
I would like both exit hints to use the configured launcher name, while preserving the session ID and session title. The default should remain codex.
Additional information
Observed with Codex CLI 0.153.4. The command name is hardcoded in codex-rs/tui/src/app/exit_summary.rs.
This request is for an explicit display override, not automatic alias detection.
Related: #41505, which concerns direct session-ID resume hints rather than custom launcher names.

Research direction
Start in codex-rs/tui/src/app/exit_summary.rs around the hardcoded resume hints at lines 136–147, then trace how CLI configuration reaches the exit summary. Add an explicit launcher-name override with codex as the default, preserving the session ID and title in both hints. Done means both exit hints use the configured name without automatic alias detection.
