What issue are you seeing?
Installation fails because npm attempts to download a tarball that returns 404.
Verbose output:
npm http fetch GET 200 https://registry.npmjs.org/@openai%2fcodex
npm http fetch GET 200 https://registry.npmjs.org/@openai/codex/-/codex-0.144.1-win32-x64.tgz

npm ERR! code E404
npm ERR! 404 Not Found - GET https://registry.npmjs.org/@openai/codex/-/codex-0.144.1.tgz
What steps can reproduce the bug?
Additional investigation
The environment appears to be working correctly:
npm ping succeeds.
npm install -g cowsay succeeds.
node can access https://registry.npmjs.org without TLS errors.
npm view @openai/codex version returns 0.144.1.
Installing the previous version works:
npm install -g @openai/codex@0.144.0
This installs successfully.
It looks like version 0.144.1 references a tarball (codex-0.144.1.tgz) that returns 404, while the platform-specific package (codex-0.144.1-win32-x64.tgz) is available.
What is the expected behavior?
