Stand up codex agents dashboard + queue for multi-session task control

Upgrade to Codex CLI rust-v0.149.0 and route parallel work through the new interactive agents dashboard, codex queue, and TUI /cd|/pwd|/cwd commands so sessions stay discoverable, messageable, and directory-correct.

Why this loop

Codex CLI rust-v0.149.0 adds a dedicated multi-session control plane: interactive codex agents for searching, starting, opening, renaming, and stopping tasks (configurable shortcuts) and codex queue to message existing local or remote sessions. TUI /cd, /pwd, and /cwd make working-directory drift explicit. Queue delivery now wakes idle sessions, resolves duplicate names more usefully, and preserves pasted or deferred command semantics. Resumed and forked threads restore their active permission profile instead of silently adopting current defaults. Duplicate sub-agent activity is gone and TUI notification/approval routing is tighter. codex doctor now covers endpoint protection, network/proxy failures, desktop app state, and update connectivity. TypeScript SDK callers can pass exact CLI config overrides and select max or ultra reasoning effort. Fifty-four further changes were omitted from the signal and must not be assumed.

Proposed actions

  1. Upgrade the local Codex CLI to rust-v0.149.0 from https://github.com/openai/codex/releases/tag/rust-v0.149.0, then run codex doctor and treat endpoint-protection, network/proxy, desktop-app, and update-connectivity findings as blockers before switching multi-session workflows.
  2. Replace ad-hoc session hunting with codex agents. Use that interactive dashboard to search, start, open, rename, and stop tasks, and configure shortcuts so dashboard bindings do not collide with existing TUI keys.
  3. When a local or remote session already exists, send the next instruction with codex queue instead of opening a new thread so idle sessions wake, duplicate names resolve, and pasted or deferred command semantics are preserved.
  4. In every TUI session run /pwd first; if the directory is wrong, /cd or /cwd to the target repo before any agent work. After resume or fork, confirm the restored permission profile rather than assuming current defaults.
  5. For TypeScript SDK callers, pass exact CLI config overrides and set reasoning effort to max or ultra so SDK sessions match rust-v0.149.0 CLI behavior.
