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
- During development you need to manually flip this when testing on macOS vs Linux.
- 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?
