Full-screen agent collaboration
Codex's TUI is a three-pane terminal application: transcript at the top (conversation + diffs), action stream in the middle (live tool calls), composer at the bottom (where you type). Three keyboard primitives make it different from a chat box: @ for fuzzy file attach, ! for shell-out, / for slash commands. Tab auto-completes and injects suggestions.
Diffs are first-class. When Codex proposes an edit, the TUI shows it as a colored unified diff with [A]pprove [R]eject [E]dit [S]kip-all footer. You don't paste the diff into a different tool to read it; the TUI renders it inline.
