  "textContent": "Codex already works closely with local project files, but ChatGPT Projects currently require manual upload/re-upload when files change. For users who use Codex for heavy implementation work and ChatGPT Projects for lighter reasoning, planning, writing, review, and explanation, this creates a lot of unnecessary file-management friction.\n\nIdeal behavior:\n\n  * Let a Project bind to a local folder.\n\n  * Watch for changed, added, renamed, or deleted files.\n\n  * Support include/exclude rules by folder and extension.\n\n  * Exclude common folders like `.git`, `node_modules`, `dist`, `build`, `vendor`, and cache directories.\n\n  * Show sync/indexing status.\n\n  * Provide a manual “Re-index now” button.\n\n  * Use hashes or incremental updates so unchanged files are not repeatedly uploaded or reprocessed.\n\n\n\n\nThis would reduce user friction, avoid stale project context, and may be more resource-efficient than repeated manual reuploads and full reprocessing. It would also create a much cleaner workflow between Codex and regular ChatGPT Projects.",
