What is the issue?

I can no longer update codex with
brew upgrade codex

I needed to run
brew uninstall codex
brew install --cask codex

Where did you find it?

The README.md should be updated. When I open codex in the terminal I see a message to update codex using brew upgrade codex. That command should be brew upgrade --cask codex.

After uninstalling 0.4.6 and installing 0.4.7, MacOS 26 doesn't seem to want me to run the app (move to trash).
