// ⚠️ This entry CANNOT promise what Claude's does, and the difference is Codex's
// layout rather than its pattern. The third row from the bottom is the chip only
// while a terminal runs; with none running it is the last row of the transcript,
// which the agent writes. Matching the complete row raises the bar — an assistant
// message has to end with this exact line, to the character — but nothing here makes
// forging it impossible, so do not read the Claude comment above as applying here.
// What contains it is that codex declares `hooks: 'none'`: no hook event from a codex
// session ever reaches `notePrompt()`, so there is no idle item to pre-acknowledge
// and a forged label costs a wrong badge and nothing else. A CLI that gains hook
// signals must not keep a pattern this soft.
// ⚠️ Background TERMINALS are the only background work codex advertises on screen.
// A sub-agent started without waiting outlives the turn just as a terminal does —
// measured 2026-09-22, the sandboxed process was still running — and the pane shows
// nothing at all for it: the last rows are the composer and the status line, and
// `Sub-agents running` lives in the on-demand `/subagents` panel, not above the
// composer. So a codex session waiting on a sub-agent reads as plainly idle here.
// Nothing is misfiled by that (codex raises no idle prompts), and there is no row to
// match until codex pins one.
