Support changing the Coding Agent CLI to Codex

[barnolacesc]

What problem does this solve?

Factory Floor is currently centered around Claude Code for the Coding Agent workflow.

That means users who already use Codex as their coding CLI cannot use the built-in Agent tab and related quick actions with their preferred tool. The main workaround is to open an external terminal and run Codex manually, which loses part of the integrated workflow.

What would the ideal solution look like?

Allow the Coding Agent CLI to be changed to Codex in Settings.

Expected behavior:

• detect both CLIs in the tool checks
• let users choose which CLI powers the Coding Agent
• launch the Agent tab with the selected CLI
• route AI quick actions through the same selected CLI
• keep Claude-specific features clearly marked when Codex is selected
• preserve the current experience for Claude users

I have a working prototype in my fork and can open a PR if this direction makes sense.

Alternatives you've considered

Current workarounds are mostly outside the app itself:

• running Codex manually in a separate terminal
• using shell aliases or wrapper scripts
• keeping Codex out of the main Agent workflow entirely

They work, but they make the experience less integrated than first-class Codex support in the app.

Thanks for the issue. At the beginning i wanted FF to mimic my (our) very opinionated workflow, but given many users are requesting similar features, i am open to listen for opinions. I would like to get some input on whether we would like to be able to open arbitrary coding agents in a workspace or we could set this as a global setting.
