+/**
+ * A Codex session waiting on one of its own dialogs is BLOCKED, read off the screen.
+ *
+ * Codex is the one CLI Codeman launches with its approvals on by default, and it has no
+ * hook to say it stopped for one (`hooks: 'none'`), so a session parked on "Would you like
+ * to run the following command?" used to read as plainly idle, and one parked on a
+ * question (whose key hints carry `esc to interrupt`, codex's working line) as WORKING.
+ * The registry's `capabilities.workDetect.blockedLine` now names the dialog's chrome, the
+ * session reads it at every settle and on a timer while it is up, and the server raises
+ * exactly what a Claude `permission_prompt` hook raises, alert-only.
+ *
+ * The fixtures in `test/fixtures/codex-dialogs/` are live `tmux capture-pane -p` frames
+ * (no -J, what `capturePaneText()` reads) of codex-cli 0.162.0 on 2026-10-14, run with
+ * `-a on-request -s read-only` at 200, 80, 60, 44 and 36 columns; only trailing
+ * whitespace was trimmed and the scratch path replaced by `/tmp/codex-scratch/repo`.
