What variant of Codex are you using? Codex macOS app ### What feature woul…d you like to see? ### Requested feature Allow to delete threads instead of just archiving them. ### Context At the moment I have to go to ~/.codex/archived_sessions/, locate the file related to the thread I want to delete and manually delete it.
