Codex.app is gone and merged into ChatGPT.app. The upgrade process was... messy... Codex's self-update just deleted the Codex.app w/o further instruction. And ChatGPT updater failed the first time while also bricking the prior installed ChatGPT.app.

Seems good/fine once you get through upgrading the app.

Wow, stories like this make me happy that I block all ChatGPT/Claude/Codex/etc updates by default, and only selectively update on demand. I do this just by setting a network rule that blocks their update check. (fortunately updates are still served on a different domain than regular usage)
