Feature request: unread Codex sessions should open at the last user prompt

When an unread Codex session opens, it should land on the last user message.

That message is the start of the newest assistant reply, so the user can read the new answer from the beginning.

A stable rule could be:

  • unread session: open at the last user prompt
    • read session: restore the previous scroll position
  • This would make unread sessions much easier to review, especially for long replies.

I found a related thread about conversations becoming unread after restart, and this request is specifically about the opening scroll position for unread sessions.

Hi @RIAFMZ,

Anchoring unread sessions to the last user prompt would make it much easier to pick up new responses, especially when replies are long.

The distinction between unread vs. read sessions with different scroll behavior also feels like a clean and predictable rule.

I haven’t seen this behavior implemented today, but it’s a solid suggestion and worth tracking alongside other session-state UX improvements.

Curious if others have run into the same friction with long replies.
