Key sentences worth saving and sharing.
Use the /side command to open a side chat that doesn't affect the current session but retains all context.
Upgrade Codex App to the latest version and run 'codex features enable goals' to enable goal functionality.
You can ask '/side What's the current progress? How much longer?' to check remaining time.
For an ongoing /goal task, how do you know the progress? How to pause, resume, or add updates? Sometimes a long-running task has been executing for a while, and you're unsure of its progress. In such cases, you can use the /side command to start a side chat without affecting the current conversation, while retaining all context from the current session. For example:
/side What's the current progress? How much longer is it expected to take?
