Agent support overview
Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode work with the sidebar, but they expose different sets of hooks — so the sidebar’s surface area is narrower for Codex and OpenCode than it is for Claude Code.
Feature support by agent
Section titled “Feature support by agent”| Feature | Claude Code | Codex | OpenCode | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|

Response text display (▷ ...) |
✓ | ✓ | ✓ | Populated from the Stop payload |
| Background shell state | ✓ | — | — | Claude Bash tools can report run_in_background; Codex and OpenCode do not currently document a background Bash flag |
