Description

chatgpt.cliExecutable is scoped to application rather than machine. This requires us to reset the value when developing on macOS vs developing on linux. i.e. the /home/aj/codex/bin/codex on linux vs /Users/aj/codex/bin/codex on macOS.

Reasons why is breaks us

  1. During development you need to manually flip this when testing on macOS vs Linux.
  2. At enterprise level, if you use this setting to set a wrapper to codex it will not be consistent across OS.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Set chatgpt.cliExecutable to a macOS specific path, then connect to a linux host with remoteSSH where the path is not the same.

What is the expected behavior?
