Summary
Why
The widget previously displayed usage limits but could not indicate when Codex was actively working. This adds live activity feedback through the official local Codex lifecycle-hook flow without polling, browser automation, credential access, or forwarding prompt/model content.
User impact
Users can opt into activity hooks, review the exact proposed configuration, approve it through Codex, and see subtle task activity feedback beside their usage. Short tasks remain legible instead of flashing, and the taskbar label no longer shifts horizontally when the animation starts or finishes.
Root cause of the taskbar jitter fix
The taskbar window dynamically changed from 102 px to 94 px before its native reposition completed. That produced a one-frame horizontal content shift in each direction. Keeping the taskbar surface at a fixed width and padding removes the intermediate layout state while preserving the existing visual alignment.
