Codex Task Controls on iOS Need a Background-to-Foreground Reconciliation Test

Primary source: https://openai.com/products/release-notes/.

OpenAI's July 13 iOS release notes describe Codex inline visualizations and task-control improvements, including fixes around task links, progress, large text, Fast mode restoration, and approval presets.

Test this lifecycle on a physical device:

start task -> receive progress -> background app
-> task asks for approval -> return from notification
-> rotate / increase text -> approve or cancel
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
Observation Pass condition
task identity notification and open screen match
approval preset and requested action remain visible
progress stale events do not overwrite newer state
inline visual has text alternative or equivalent context
large text controls remain above keyboard and reachable

Record device, iOS/app version, network transition, task ID, last revision, and recovery time. Inject airplane mode before approval and terminate the app before reopening.

This is a test protocol, not a report of measured behavior, and it does not generalize to Android or desktop. Which mobile transition most often breaks your agent workflow: notification entry, approval, reconnect, or cancellation?
