Codex can transfer sessions between local and remote hosts.

I started working on my laptop, and before closing the lid I sent the session to a remote server, and later brought it back and continued from the same place.

The most interesting part is that along with the session, not only messages are transferred, but also the project state: the code and the Git state. According to OpenAI, Codex can coordinate the entire transfer process on its own.

For frontend development, this is especially convenient: you can work locally, run dev builds and test changes, and move heavy tasks or long agent sessions to a remote machine without losing context. ‍
