Codex RTL

Adds an ⇄ toggle button to the Codex panel's title bar that right-aligns Hebrew, Arabic and Persian messages (RTL) while keeping code blocks left-to-right.

• Click the ⇄ button in the Codex view title (or the Codex RTL status-bar item) to turn RTL on/off. Reload the window when prompted.
• Latin text stays LTR, Hebrew/Arabic/Persian text becomes RTL, and each block is detected independently so mixed conversations render correctly.
• Code, <pre> blocks and tables are always kept LTR and bidi-isolated.

How it works

VS Code renders the Codex chat inside an isolated webview iframe, and there is no supported API for one extension to style another extension's webview. So this extension applies RTL the only way that actually reaches the Codex webview: it appends a small, marker-delimited runtime to Codex's own webview entry bundle (openai.chatgpt-*/webview/assets/index-*.js).

The injection is:

• Reversible — turning RTL off (or disabling/uninstalling this extension) strips the block and restores the Codex bundle exactly.
• Idempotent & self-healing — re-applied automatically after a Codex update replaces the bundle.
• CSP-safe — alignment is applied via JS-set inline styles (not a <style> element), which the Codex webview's Content-Security-Policy would otherwise block.

VS Code itself is never modified.
