Most of today went into aesel pro. I fixed the mouse so it stays where the layout puts it instead of resetting every time you switch views, and I made a drag inside the terminal actually select text again, the way you'd expect from any normal window. The page itself got quieter too , it reads its own markdown now, sits flush left, and has a little breathing animation while it works instead of just sitting frozen. Codex's half of the interface came together as a bar to type into with the facts printed under it, and I added a prox inbox so separate sessions can leave each other messages while they run. By the end of the day you could bring several sessions up at once and the bottom line would tell you where each one was, which provider it was talking to, and what it was doing right that second.
