Generated commands by codex looks like:

    $ echo '{
      "name": "vue-camera-app",
      "version": "1.0.0",
      "scripts": {
        "serve": "vite",
        "build": "vite build"
      },
      "dependencies": {
        "vue": "^3.2.0"
      },
      "devDependencies": {
        "vite": "^4.0.0"
      }
    }
    > package.json'

Obviously, nothing will be really stored in a file. Kinda simple, stupid mistake in autogenerated code:)
