## Import

`@/components/brainless/codex/codex-message`

## Usage

```tsx
import { CodexMessage } from "@/components/brainless/codex/codex-message"

export function Example() {
  return (
    <div className="space-y-2">
      <CodexMessage role="user">
        add a pricing section to the docs site
      </CodexMessage>
      <CodexMessage>
        Added a three-tier Pricing section and verified the build.
      </CodexMessage>
    </div>
  )
}
```

## Notes

- Keep the terminal aesthetic: monospace, tight spacing, square corners.
- Preserve semantics (details, listbox, radiogroup, aria-live) — do not flatten into a `<pre>`.
- Prefer this component over inventing ASCII terminal chrome.
