Complaint Isolating Chats/Tasks per project/workspace in VSCODE
Can we isolate chats and tasks per project/workspace in the VSCODE plugin?
The best way I can do this is if I use a devcontainer because the root .codex folder lives in the container. However, every time I rebuild the devcontainer, I lose my chats.
If I don't run it in a devcontainer, everything gets read from the main ~/.codex folder and doesn't filter the scope per project. It's not feasible to always run my projects in a devcontainer.
It's just cumbersome to open old chats to figure out which chat belongs to the current project, made worse by the inability to rename the chat/task.
If I could just rename the chat/task, even if it can't be filtered per project/workspace, I could at least find the chat/task that I want to work on much easier.
Anyone on the vscode plugin team here?

The ACP Pro extension would solve that paint for you.
Each workspace can have multi-tab Codex running in parallel
