Pre-release
Codex Styler 0.1.0-alpha.9
This Alpha unifies theme and companion changes into one predictable live-application flow. It also repairs Windows Codex discovery and the managed restart path reported by Windows preview users.
Release tag: v0.1.0-alpha.9
Download and install
macOS 13+ on Apple Silicon

SHA256SUMS.txt. - Open the DMG and drag Codex Styler to Applications.
- On first launch, Control-click Codex Styler and choose Open.
The macOS app is ad-hoc signed but does not have an Apple Developer ID signature and is not notarized. Do not disable Gatekeeper globally.
Windows 11 x64
- Download
Codex-Styler_0.1.0-alpha.9_x64-unsigned-setup.exe. - Compare its SHA-256 digest with
SHA256SUMS.txt. - Run the per-user installer.
The Windows installer is not Authenticode-signed, so Microsoft Defender SmartScreen may show an unknown-publisher warning. Review the checksum and GitHub build attestation before continuing; do not disable SmartScreen globally.
What changed
- Theme rows and companion choices apply immediately when a managed Codex session is live.
- Disconnected choices are labeled as pending and use the single sidebar Start and apply action.
- Removed redundant theme-page apply buttons while retaining draft-specific editor actions.
- Companion position and attachment changes synchronize through a debounced live update.
- Added automatic Windows detection for Microsoft Store packages, standard install paths, and verified running UI processes.
- Added a validated custom application picker in Settings as a fallback for nonstandard installs.
- Fixed packaged Windows Codex restarts that previously minimized the app and left the confirmation dialog waiting indefinitely.
- Restart failures now remain actionable with an inline explanation and retry control.

Verify an installer with GitHub CLI:
gh attestation verify Codex-Styler_0.1.0-alpha.9_aarch64-unsigned.dmg \
--repo xuhuanstudio/codex-styler
gh attestation verify Codex-Styler_0.1.0-alpha.9_x64-unsigned-setup.exe \
--repo xuhuanstudio/codex-stylerAlpha limitations
- macOS Intel is not included.
- macOS notarization and Windows Authenticode signing are still required before v1 Stable.
- The Windows package is built and structurally verified on GitHub's Windows Server 2022 runner. Full Windows 11 install, managed restart, apply, update, and uninstall acceptance remains a real-device release gate.
- Codex Desktop can change internal UI structure. Enhanced mode applies the full semantic theme and falls back only when live runtime health checks find an actual problem; Conservative mode keeps the effect isolated.
