 ## Features
 
+### Codex Chats panel
+
+Adds a **Codex Chats** icon to the Activity Bar. Open it to see local Codex
+conversations ordered by their most recent activity.
+
+- Chats for the current workspace appear first in an expanded section.
+- Chats from other workspaces stay in a separate collapsed section and show
+  their workspace name.
+- Select a chat to open it as a pinned Codex editor tab.
+- Start a new chat or refresh the list from the panel toolbar.
+- New and renamed chats appear automatically while VS Code is running.
+
+The panel reads Codex's local session index from `$CODEX_HOME/session_index.jsonl`
+when `CODEX_HOME` is set, or from `~/.codex/session_index.jsonl` otherwise.
+It reads only the small metadata prefix needed to identify each chat's workspace;
+transcript contents are not parsed or copied.
+
 ### New Codex Agent toolbar button
 
-Adds a visible code-brackets-and-plus action to the editor toolbar. Select it to execute the official Codex command `chatgpt.newCodexPanel` and open a new Codex agent.
