Botty+ 1.5.3 — Automatic Codex PS5 updates

Checking Codex PS5 on LAUNCH now installs or updates its native application, local Whisper base model and assistant engine before starting Codex. Previously the portal only checked a manually FTP-installed engine and reused any running service without checking updates.

Downloads use SHA-256-verified 1 MiB blocks, reusing unchanged local content. Installation stages complete components before publication, keeps the previous directories in backups and records a journal to resume interrupted updates. ChatGPT credentials and the workspace remain in place. Native apps must be closed; Botty file processing defers installation.

The bundled Codex PS5 0.0.2 includes GPT 6.1 SOL with low reasoning effort, local voice dictation, conversation rendering and the expanded PS5 administration toolkit. Its loopback control endpoint allows an idle engine to stop cleanly before future updates. For the first migration from the previous engine, fully restart the PS5 after the portal updates its files, then run LAUNCH again with Codex checked. An active conversation is never forcibly killed.

The release includes the complete botty-portal-1.5.3.tar.gz bundle and SHA256SUMS. The Botty PS5 service and native app binaries keep their existing versions. Export only the release bundle when self-hosting; backups and console credentials are excluded.

Validation: 176 portal/installer tests, Codex protocol/Markdown tests, native and backend PS5 builds and verified public package export. The newly added automatic update/control flow has not yet been accepted through LAUNCH on a physical PS5.
