Codex 2.app is arm64-only and cannot launch on Intel macOS

What version of the Codex App are you using?

26.513.31313, build 2867

Platform

• macOS: 12.7.4 (21H1123)
• Architecture: x86_64 / Intel Mac
• UI locale: zh-CN

Issue

Codex 2.app appears as an unsupported application in Finder on this Intel Mac and cannot be launched. The same machine has Codex.app installed and that bundle is x86_64, but Codex 2.app is arm64-only.

The application cannot be opened for an unexpected reason, error=Error Domain=NSOSStatusErrorDomain Code=-10661

spctl --assess --type execute --verbose=4 /Applications/Codex\ 2.app reports the app is accepted and notarized, so this does not look like Gatekeeper. It appears to be an architecture compatibility issue.

Expected behavior

The installer/download flow should either provide an x86_64/universal Codex 2 build for Intel Macs, or clearly prevent installing/showing an Apple Silicon-only app on Intel machines.
