This means you have multiple copies of codex installed on your system. See this thread for suggested fixes.
npmstill shows0.61.0as the latest, so update via npm does nothing - https://www.npmjs.com/package/@openai/codexand codex keeps looping offering to upgrade

Ah yes, this appears to be a publishing issue. Working on a solution.
