New strings:
1. Approval mode picker just says "Select Approval Mode"
1. Updated "Auto" to "Agent"
1. When you select "Agent", you get "Agent mode on Windows uses an
experimental sandbox to limit network and filesystem access. [Learn
more]"
1. Updated world-writable warning to "The Windows sandbox cannot protect
writes to folders that are writable by Everyone. Consider removing write
access for Everyone from the following folders: {folders}"

- Only show the usage data section when signed in with ChatGPT. (Tested
with Chat auth and API auth.)
- Friendlier string change.
- Also removed `.dim()` on the string, since it was the only string in
`/status` that was dim.
- For selectable options, use sentences starting in lowercase and not
ending with periods. To be honest I don't love this style, but better to
be consistent for now.
- Tweak some other strings.
- Put in more compelling suggestions on launch. Excited to put `/mcp` in
there next.
## Summary
- just want to declutter the top level workspace section
## Testing
- `just fmt`
- `just fix` *(fails: error[E0658] let expressions in this position are
unstable in codex-protocol)*
- `cargo test -p codex-tui` *(fails: error[E0658] let expressions in
this position are unstable)*

- Prevents the % left indicator from immediately decrementing to ~97%.
- Tested by prompting "hi" and noting it only decremented to 99%. And by
adding a bunch of debug logs and observing numbers.
New style guide:
# Headers, primary, and secondary text
- **Headers:** Use `bold`. For markdown with various header levels,
leave in the `#` signs.
- **Primary text:** Default.
- **Secondary text:** Use `dim`.
# Foreground colors
- **Default:** Most of the time, just use the default foreground color.
`reset` can help get it back.
- **Selection:** Use ANSI `blue`. (Ed & AE want to make this cyan too,
but we'll do that in a followup since it's riskier in different themes.)
- **User input tips and status indicators:** Use ANSI `cyan`.
- **Success and additions:** Use ANSI `green`.
- **Errors, failures and deletions:** Use ANSI `red`.
- **Codex:** Use ANSI `magenta`.
# Avoid
- Avoid custom colors because there's no guarantee that they'll contrast
well or look good on various terminal color themes.
- Avoid ANSI `black`, `white`, `yellow` as foreground colors because the
terminal theme will do a better job. (Use `reset` if you need to in
order to get those.) The exception is if you need contrast rendering
over a manually colored background.
(There are some rules to try to catch this in `clippy.toml`.)
# Testing
Tested in a variety of light and dark color themes in Terminal, iTerm2, and Ghostty.
- I had a recent conversation where the one-liner showed using 11M
tokens! But looking into it 10M were cached. So I looked into it and I
think we had a regression here. ->
- Use blended total tokens for chat composer usage display
- Compute remaining context using tokens_in_context_window helper

- For absolute, use non-cached input + output.
- For estimating what % of the model's context window is used, we need
to account for reasoning output tokens from prior turns being dropped
from the context window. We approximate this here by subtracting
reasoning output tokens from the total. This will be off for the current
turn and pending function calls. We can improve it later.
- Arguably a bugfix as previously CTRL-Z didn't do anything.
- Only in TUI mode for now. This may make sense in other modes... to be
researched.
- The TUI runs the terminal in raw mode and the signals arrive as key
events, so we handle CTRL-Z as a key event just like CTRL-C.
- Not adding UI for it as a composer redesign is coming, and we can just
add it then.
- We should follow with CTRL-Z a second time doing the native terminal
action.
- Updates the launch screen to:
```
>_ You are using OpenAI Codex in ~/code/codex/codex-rs
Try one of the following commands to get started:
1. /init - Create an AGENTS.md file with instructions for Codex
2. /status - Show current session configuration and token usage
3. /compact - Compact the chat history
4. /new - Start a new chat
```
- These aren't the perfect commands, but as more land soon we can
update.
- We should also add logic later to make /init only show when there's no
existing AGENTS.md.
- Majorly need to iterate on copy.

/>
- Added a `/status` command, which will be useful when we update the
home screen to print less status.
- Moved `create_config_summary_entries` to common since it's used in a
few places.
- Noticed we inconsistently had periods in slash command descriptions
and just removed them everywhere.
- Noticed the diff description was overflowing so made it shorter.
Allows users to set their experimental_instructions_file in configs.
For example the below enables experimental instructions when running
`codex -p foo`.
```
[profiles.foo]
experimental_instructions_file = "/Users/foo/.codex/prompt.md"
```
# Testing
- ✅ Running against a profile with experimental_instructions_file works.
- ✅ Running against a profile without experimental_instructions_file
works.
- ✅ Running against no profile with experimental_instructions_file
works.
- ✅ Running against no profile without experimental_instructions_file
works.
