43 Codex pets are optional animated companions for the app. In **Settings**,
44 go to **Appearance** and choose **Pets** to select a built-in pet or
45 refresh custom pets from your local Codex home. Type `/pet` in the
46 composer, use **Wake Pet** or **Tuck Away Pet** in **Settings > Appearance**, or
47 press <kbd>Cmd+K</kbd> or <kbd>Ctrl+K</kbd> and run the same commands to
48 toggle the floating overlay.
49
50 The overlay keeps active Codex work visible while you use other apps. It
51 shows the active thread, reflects whether Codex is running, waiting for
52 input, or ready for review, and pairs that state with a short progress
53 prompt so you can glance at what changed without reopening the thread.

92using it in the browser.
