Codex goal mode runs for days and accepts remote mobile supervision

OpenAI made Codex goal mode available across the app, IDE extension, and CLI so it could pursue an objective for hours or days. The same release added remote computer use after a Mac locks, including supervision through Codex Mobile, with short-lived authorization, covered displays, relocking on local input, and manual-unlock fallback.
