this! codex can create and interact with threads across projects and tasks - all you need to do is ask

I’ve used this recently orchestrate multiple worktrees and implement a feature with different PoVs using subagents

and ofcourse to archive, unarchive and find relevant threads based on context

massive quality of life improvement

Underrated how codex app is configurable by file edits, which agents can make

Your chat logs are just files, so you can edit the metadata and tadah shows up in the app
