Really have to see many of the issues are already on the roadmap!

Many things are in motion and coordinating will take some time.

- identity - unification of plugins - projects - in thread ui

@jxnlco Cowork needs to scrap the UI and just clone Codex App. Why do I have Chat/Cowork/Code?

@jxnlco I'll tell what not to copy. The 3 tab interface (chat, work, code). I am praying this is not what ChatGPT superapp will be.

@jxnlco Oh thought of another one. Codex sandbox does not work with MCPs hosted in a tailnet, claude's does. We host a lot of MCPs and rather than dealing with oauth we just use a tailnet and their headers. Makes corporate MCP so easy but not possible in codex.

@jxnlco defaulting to "no project" probably the only thing.

@austinbv Heard similar things for general mcp and plugin hosting.

I see stuff on the roadmap

@jxnlco @austinbv I also wish to be possible to start a chat with no project in a remote. For now, I have to have a home (~) project to do this.

@jxnlco Well I’m not telling you, because you will use it against me and build it into Codex, making my time spent on other platforms not nearly as enjoyable. But, if I wanted to complain about something, it would be that the harness feels really slow and eats tokens faster than others.

@austinbv @jxnlco Not really, the "Chats" section doesn't include remote chats. I can select a remote project but not just the remote without a project.
