Codex update doesn't cleanup older versions

What version of Codex CLI is running?

0.130.0

What subscription do you have?

enterprise

Which model were you using?

gpt-5.5

What platform is your computer?

Linux 5.15.0-177-generic x86_64

What terminal emulator and version are you using (if applicable)?

_No response_

What issue are you seeing?

Running "codex update" successfully updates codex, but also leaves all releases in place. This means that on every update the local ".codex" folder gets ~250M bigger. There should at least be an option to select a different behavior, or perhaps the script could keep a fixed number of older versions in place?

What steps can reproduce the bug?
