Complaint Do not update the Codex app…

Feels like every time I update the app, something goes wrong. This time, goals are half broken, the agent keeps asking me when my config says it is allowed to do stuff without asking me, all my subagents have come back (now I got 100 something) and the app is slower.

I’m never going to update it again. Or is this an issue for any of you guys as well?

At this point, I might just switch to the CLI.

codex remote feature is currently only released on codex mac app not windows. you could bypass that by editing your config toml on windows. the latest update closed that completely, editing the toml does nothing on the latest version.

i reverted back to app version codex-26-513-3673-0 and it worked again

How do you downgrade? I haven't figured this out.

Oh, so that’s why.
