OpenAI Codex adds computer history feature, likened to a built-in Rewind

A user noticed that OpenAI Codex has added a computer history feature that collects additional context from the user's machine.

The poster raises questions: how valuable is it, and are there side effects? It feels like an integrated Rewind (the rewind-style screen recording tool), but without screen recording, OCR, or audio transcription, how is it implemented technically — real-time processing, or nothing stored? The thread invites others to share hands-on experience.
