AWESOME new update for Codex

The new activity view is a way better way to get work done FAST

Old Codex (and every other AI agent) is just a long list of all threads you've started

This new activity mode instead sorts your threads like an email inbox

Ones waiting on your response go to the top, regardless of which project they're in across all your devices

Your new workflow becomes clicking 'unread' threads at the top that are waiting for your action, give it a prompt, then keep it moving

My productivity has at least doubled from this view

Subtle change that dramatically changes the way you work

Update and hit that button. Bet this becomes the default view soon
