What issue are you seeing?
Title:
Xcode downloads arm64 Codex agent on Intel Mac (x86_64), causing sandbox/signature failure
Body:
Environment:
- Intel Mac (x86_64)
- macOS: [your macOS version]
- Xcode: [your Xcode version]
- Codex agent: 0.129.0-alpha.9
Problem:
Xcode downloads the Apple Silicon Codex agent instead of an Intel binary.
Observed agent:
~/Library/Developer/Xcode/CodingAssistant/Agents/codex/0.129.0-alpha.9/codex
Verification:
uname -m
=> x86_64
file codex
=> Mach-O 64-bit executable arm64
Info.plist contains:
https://github.com/openai/codex/releases/download/rust-v0.129.0-alpha.9/codex-aarch64-apple-darwin.tar.gz
Xcode error:
"The code signing identity for the agent did not match expectations, or the agent violated sandboxing rules. Please delete the currently selected agent in the Components section of Settings and download it again."
I fully reset CodingAssistant state and reinstalled multiple times. The issue persists because the wrong architecture binary is being downloaded.
What steps can reproduce the bug?
Install Codex from Intelligence settings and try using it - asking anything fails
What is the expected behavior?
The code signing identity for the agent did not match expectations, or the agent violated sandboxing rules. Please delete the currently selected agent in the Components section of Settings and download it again.
