What is the expected behavior?
Expected result
Actual result
Additional information
Codex repeatedly asks to update even after installing 0.121.0.
Diagnostics
npm view @openai/codex version
# 0.121.0
npm list -g @openai/codex --depth=0
# @openai/codex@0.121.0
npm list -g @openai/codex-win32-x64 --depth=0
# @openai/codex-win32-x64@npm:@openai/codex@0.119.0-win32-x64
npx @openai/codex@0.121.0 --version
# codex-cli 0.119.0
Analysis
The wrapper package @openai/codex@0.121.0 installs correctly, but it resolves to:
@openai/codex-win32-x64@0.119.0-win32-x64
So the actual binary executed is still version 0.119.0.
Conclusion
This appears to be a packaging or resolution issue affecting the Windows x64 native binary.
Impact
Users on Windows cannot upgrade beyond 0.119.0 via npm.
Workaround
Manual installation of the Windows binary from GitHub releases.
