Codex Work/Desktop sessions are not detected with newer originator values #179

Description

Summary

abtop does not detect active Codex Work/Desktop sessions with newer Codex app-server versions.

I tested both the released 0.5.5 version and a fresh install from the current main branch:

cargo install --git https://github.com/graykode/abtop.git --branch main abtop --force

The result is still:

abtop — 0 sessions, 0 mcp servers

Environment

  • macOS
  • Codex app-server: 0.157.1
  • Active codex app-server and codex app-server --managed-daemon processes
  • Recent rollout files exist under:
~/.codex/sessions/

Suspected cause

The current detection logic appears to require:

self.originator == "Codex Desktop"

while newer Codex versions may use originators such as:

codex_work_desktop
codex_vscode

This could cause otherwise active sessions to be filtered out.

Expected behavior

Recent active Codex Work/Desktop and VS Code sessions should appear in abtop.

Actual behavior

abtop shows zero sessions despite active app-server processes and recently updated rollout files.
