I got it to connect by starting codex CLI with

`codex remote-control`

but it seems to be limited/sandboxed to a specific directory.

In my case, I run all coding agents under a specific user, `agent`, and when I access it over remote from my phone, I seem to be limited to the working directory `/var/lib/agent/Documents/Code` with no obvious way to change this.

It won't let me go to my existing project directories (including the directory where I started `codex remote-control`).

I haven't tried symbolic links or anything complicated yet, as this is mostly just a novelty to me.
