VocabReader v0.1.2
VocabReader v0.1.2 — macOS Codex Connection Fix
This release fixes the Codex connection failure shown as spawn codex ENOENT after opening the
installed macOS app from Finder.
What changed
- VocabReader now detects the native Codex CLI bundled with the installed ChatGPT/Codex Desktop
app and launches it by absolute path. - macOS also recognizes common Homebrew,
/usr/local, and user-local Codex CLI installations. - When Codex is not installed, the connection panel now explains what to install and asks the user
to restart VocabReader instead of exposing a rawENOENTprocess error. - Windows keeps its existing Codex Desktop and
codex.cmdfallback behavior. - The macOS packaging and strict mounted-DMG signature checks introduced in v0.1.1 remain enabled.
Choose your installer

Before using AI features
Install and sign in to ChatGPT/Codex Desktop or install and authenticate the Codex CLI before
starting VocabReader. VocabReader reuses that local Codex account; it does not ask for or store an
OpenAI API key.
This remains an unsigned and unnotarized Early Preview. macOS may show the normal warning that
Apple cannot check the app for malicious software, and Windows SmartScreen may show an
unknown-publisher warning.
