Additional information
Observed behavior:
- Startup tip says:
"Tip: New Try the Codex App, now available on Windows, with 2x rate limits until April 2nd. Run 'codex app' or visit
https://chatgpt.com/codex?app-landing-page=true"
- Packaged README also says:
"If you want the desktop app experience, run codex app or visit https://chatgpt.com/codex?app-landing-page=true"
- But the installed CLI does not expose that command:
codex --helpshowsapp-serverbut notappcodex help appreturns:
error: unrecognized subcommand 'app'
Additional Windows-specific behavior:
- Every
codexinvocation prints:
WARNING: proceeding, even though we could not update PATH: Access is denied. (os error 5)
codex features listalso fails with:
Error: Access is denied. (os error 5)
Expected behavior:
- If Windows is advertised as supporting
codex app, thencodex appshould exist and work. - Otherwise the startup tip / README should not instruct Windows users to run a nonexistent command.
