Homebrew codex-app cask is outdated after Codex.app was renamed to ChatGPT.app

The latest Codex desktop update renamed the application from Codex.app toChatGPT.app, but the Homebrew cask is still named codex-app and currently
references the previous application name and an older release:
- Homebrew cask:
codex-app - Homebrew version:
26.623.141536 - Homebrew artifact:
Codex.app - Updated application:
ChatGPT.app - Updated version:
26.707.31428 - Bundle identifier:
com.openai.codex - Alternate bundle name:
Codex
The existing cask definition also uses the Codex-specific appcast and download
path:
https://persistent.oaistatic.com/codex-app-prod/appcast.xml
This raises a packaging and upgrade-path question:
- Should the Homebrew token remain
codex-appfor compatibility, while its
metadata, release feed, and app artifact are updated to install
ChatGPT.app?
- Should it be renamed to something such as
chatgpt-codex? - Is this application expected to replace or merge with the existing ChatGPT
desktop application?
A direct rename to chatgpt appears problematic because Homebrew already has a
separate chatgpt cask.
