Feature Request: Bring Back the File Explorer Button in Codex

Try CMD+P, open a file from the project and see a second Tab appear next to the “Review” tab in the side panel (here the example.md file).
In this tab you can then toggle the folder icon in the top right hand corner and you will be able to see the file tree to which this file belongs. Not perfect but a good workaround.
