extent analysis

TL;DR

The discrepancy between the installed package version and the version reported by codex --version suggests a potential issue with the package installation or the CLI executable.

Guidance

  • Verify that the codex executable is correctly linked to the newly installed package version by checking the executable's path: which codex
  • Check for any existing versions of codex that might be interfering with the newly installed version
  • Try uninstalling and reinstalling the @openai/codex package to ensure a clean installation
  • If using a version manager like nvm, ensure that the correct Node.js version is being used
