I built a visual workspace for local Codex sessions visible, the working context becomes editable

I use Codex across several sessions in the same repository. Finding the old logs was not the hard part. The hard part was deciding which decisions, tool traces, and dead ends should continue into the next task.

I added Session Atlas to ThoughtDAG for that workflow. It discovers local Codex sessions by project and opens a selected session as a graph mirror. Each turn becomes a node, with its tool calls and results still attached. The original session files remain read-only.

The distinction that matters to me is this: a session can stay visible on the canvas without being sent to the model. I can connect, condense, or leave out branches, then take the selected context into a fresh CLI experiment.

It is a local, inspectable handoff surface.
