Key features
- Custom prompts accept arguments: $1..$9, $ARGUMENTS, and $$ (literal)
- @ file picker in composer: type @ to fuzzy‑search and insert quoted
paths
- Frontmatter hints: optional description + argument-hint shown in
palette (body stripped before send)
Why
- Make saved prompts reusable with runtime parameters.
- Improve discoverability with concise, helpful hints in the slash
popup.
- Preserve privacy and approvals; no auto‑execution added.
Details
- Protocol: extend CustomPrompt with description, argument_hint
(optional).
- Core: parse minimal YAML‑style frontmatter at file top; strip it from
the submitted body.
- TUI: expand arguments; insert @ paths; render
description/argument-hint or fallback excerpt.
- Docs: prompts.md updated with frontmatter and argument examples.
Tests
- Frontmatter parsing (description/argument-hint extracted; body
stripped).
- Popup rows show description + argument-hint; excerpt fallback; builtin
name collision.
- Argument expansion for $1..$9, $ARGUMENTS, $$; quoted args and @ path
insertion.
Safety / Approvals
- No changes to approvals or sandboxing; prompts do not auto‑run tools.

This eliminates a "bounce" at the end of streaming where we hide the
status indicator at the end of the turn and the composer moves up two
lines.
Also, simplify streaming further by removing the HistorySink and
inverting control, and collapsing a few single-element structures.
This commit removes the `once_cell` dependency from `Cargo.toml` files
in the `codex-rs` and `apply-patch` directories, replacing its usage
with `std::sync::LazyLock` and `std::sync::OnceLock` where applicable.
This change simplifies the dependency tree and utilizes standard library
features for lazy initialization.

with Chat auth and API auth.)
- Friendlier string change.
- Also removed `.dim()` on the string, since it was the only string in
`/status` that was dim.
## Summary
Introduces a “ghost commit” workflow that snapshots the tree without
touching refs.
1. git commit-tree writes an unreferenced commit object from the current
index, optionally pointing to the current HEAD as its parent.
2. We then stash that commit id and use git restore --source <ghost> to
roll the worktree (and index) back to the recorded snapshot later on.
## Details
- Ghost commits live only as loose objects—we never update branches or
tags—so the repo history stays untouched while still giving us a full
tree snapshot.
- Force-included paths let us stage otherwise ignored files before
capturing the tree.
- Restoration rehydrates both tracked and force-included files while
leaving untracked/ignored files alone.
Adds a "View Stack" to the bottom pane to allow for pushing/popping
bottom panels.
`esc` will go back instead of dismissing.
Benefit: We retain the "selection state" of a parent panel (e.g. the
review panel).
Backtracking multiple times could drop earlier turns. We now derive the
active user-turn positions from the transcript on demand (keying off the
latest session header) instead of caching state. This keeps the replayed
context intact during repeated edits and adds a regression test.
The only file to watch is the cargo.toml
All the others come from just fix + a few manual small fix

Adds the following options:
1. Review current changes
2. Review a specific commit
3. Review against a base branch (PR style)
4. Custom instructions

\+ Adds the following UI helpers:
1. Makes list selection searchable
2. Adds navigation to the bottom pane, so you could add a stack of
popups
3. Basic custom prompt view
Reported height was `20` instead of `21`, so `area.height >=
MIN_ANIMATION_HEIGHT` was `false` and therefore `show_animation` was
`false`, so the animation never displayed.
Changes:
- skip the welcome animation when the terminal area is below 60x21
- skip the model upgrade animation when the terminal area is below 60x24
to avoid clipping
