Codex Appshots, Goal Mode, and Locked Computer Use

Three updates to Codex, OpenAI's coding agent: it can pull in context from another app window, work toward a goal on its own, and keep running on a Mac after the screen locks.

Details

Appshots: press the Command key twice to attach the front app window to a Codex thread. Codex receives a screenshot plus the window's text, including content scrolled off screen.
Goal Mode: Codex works toward an objective you set continuously, for hours or even days, instead of one prompt at a time.
Locked Computer Use: Codex can keep using desktop apps after your Mac locks, including remotely from Codex Mobile, with short-lived access and an automatic relock when you touch the keyboard.
Appshots are available across plans on Mac, with enterprise access coming later.
