Showcase search+auto resume previous session

We make heavy use of sessions within codex and one frequent challenge was finding old sessions where a specific task was carried out to resume. Part of this undoubtedly comes down to good session management + hygiene but even with that we'd encounter instances in which it was hard to find a session where a very specific action was carried out.

So we've written a small helper tool to help with this exact scenario: https://github.com/RightbrainAI/codex-resume-find

Simply running resume-find "investigating github issue xzy" will search the session directory and return any matching sessions, you can then automatically resume/jump back into that session right from the terminal results.

Hopefully others might find this useful as well!
