What issue are you seeing?
OpenAI released version 0.150.1 of @openai/codex to the npm registry with the latest tag, but the Linux binaries were not published for that version (only macOS 0.150.1-darwin-arm64 was published, while Linux remained on 0.150.0-linux-x64).
Because @openai/codex@0.150.1 specifies the optional dependency @openai/codex-linux-x64 as @openai/codex@0.150.1-linux-x64 (which 404s on npm), npm quietly skipped installing the native binary. When running codex, the launcher script failed to locate the binary.
The codex cli suggests the update, so most users will automatically update to a currently broken package.
What steps can reproduce the bug?
npm install -g @openai/codex@latest
What is the expected behavior?
