[Feature]: Mobile quick keys to answer or skip a pending Codex question from the terminal view
Author: JHXSMatthewCreated Sep 17, 2026Updated Sep 17, 2026
Context
In the mobile app, a Codex agent running over a terminal/bridge session can pause on an interactive question (its request_user_input overlay). When the terminal view is showing, the command-dock accessory row (display mode, live input, Paste, built-in/custom keys) has no control for that pending question: the user must first switch to the chat view to reach the question card.
It would be useful to expose the same two actions the chat card already has directly in the terminal quick-key row while a Codex question is pending:
- Answer — switch to the chat view's question wizard to pick answers.
- Skip — skip every question and let Codex proceed (its DEL + Proceed confirmation keystrokes), matching the desktop card's skip semantics.
Notes:
- Skip only applies to Codex (Claude Code's bare Enter commits the highlighted default, so an all-empty answer is not safe there).
- Bridge/terminal lane only; structured app-server sessions always render the chat question card and have no skip operation at protocol level.
- This is client-side keystroke driving only — no wire/RPC change needed; the shared Codex skip keystroke builder already exists in
src/shared/native-chat-ask.ts.
