Homebrew codex-app cask is outdated after Codex.app was renamed to ChatGPT.app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

  1. Should the Homebrew token remain codex-app for compatibility, while its

metadata, release feed, and app artifact are updated to install
ChatGPT.app?

  1. Should it be renamed to something such as chatgpt-codex?
  2. 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.
