Play a sound when Codex finishes a prompt / task

### Sound when Codex finishes **Summary** Please add an optional, clearly audible completion sound that plays when Codex finishes executing a prompt/task (useful when prompts run longer and the user switches focus). **Why** Helps when Codex works in background and I’m in another window/tab. Terminal bell \a is too short/quiet and easy to miss. **Use case / Motivation** Most of my prompts take Codex quite a long time to execute — often more than a minute. It’s frustrating that I have to sit and stare at the screen just to know when it’s done. Since I work remotely, I could easily use that waiting time to do something else, as long as Codex informs me when it finishes. Yes, I can (and already did) hack together my own workaround, but it would be much nicer if this were a built-in feature of the extension. For example, after finishing a prompt Codex could simply play a clear sound notification. **Environment** VSC **Extras** I would be cool if it plays: https://youtu.be/CduA0TULnow?list=RDCduA0TULnow&t=58 ### Are you interested in implementing this feature? _No response_ ### Additional information _No response_
