Wtf does this do

Codex Action Board is a tool that adds a review step between an AI coding assistant called Codex suggesting a list of changes and Codex actually making those changes. When Codex responds with a long plan or a big list of suggested edits, this tool turns that response into a checklist you can go through one item at a time, marking each suggestion as accepted, rejected, postponed, or edited with your own notes. Once you have reviewed everything, it builds one clear instruction and places it into the Codex text box for you, but it never sends anything on its own, so you always get a final look before anything happens. The project explains that this solves a common annoyance: once Codex gives you ten, twenty, or more suggestions, typing follow up instructions like do everything except item four gets messy and error prone. Having a checklist step in between avoids that confusion. On Windows, installing it is as simple as downloading a zip file, extracting it, and double clicking a launcher file, which requires Node.js and the Codex Desktop app to already be installed. The tool also supports Arabic with a right to left reading layout, alongside its default English layout, and remembers whichever language you last chose. There is also a browser extension version that brings the same checklist behavior to the ChatGPT website instead of the Codex desktop app. Behind the scenes, the desktop version works by connecting to a local debugging feature inside Chromium, since Codex Desktop does not currently offer an official way to add this kind of extension. The project is explicit that this debugging connection is restricted to your own computer only and should never be exposed to a network or shared machine. The README does not state which license covers the project.
