v1.8.6

v1.8.6 - 2026-07-10

Codex Desktop executable discovery compatibility. The native protocol stays 1.

Fixed

• The native host now finds Codex after the macOS desktop-app path change. Codex may now be bundled at /Applications/ChatGPT.app/Contents/Resources/codex; native discovery supports that location, the legacy Codex.app bundle, and user-local copies under ~/Applications.
• Fresh native-host launchers include both macOS app resource directories. Chrome's restricted launch environment can resolve the bundled Codex binary without relying on an interactive shell PATH.

Release

• Release metadata alignment: bumped package, extension manifest, compatibility target, README release commands / badges, and release tracking metadata to 1.8.6 while keeping native protocol 1.
• Current release artifact names now resolve to codex-overleaf-link-extension-v1.8.6.zip, codex-overleaf-native-host-v1.8.6.tar.gz, and codex-overleaf-link-1.8.6.tgz.
• Native host install is npm exec --yes codex-overleaf-link@1.8.6 -- install-native.

npm native host package

Install or update the native host with the pinned npm package. Official release builds use the bundled stable extension id by default; pass --extension-id only for a custom or mismatched unpacked extension id:

npm exec --yes codex-overleaf-link@1.8.6 -- install-native

Run native diagnostics with the same pinned package:

npm exec --yes codex-overleaf-link@1.8.6 -- doctor

Uninstall the native host with the same pinned package:

npm exec --yes codex-overleaf-link@1.8.6 -- uninstall-native
