No install. No account. Public and anonymous. The link asks your agent for one report, nothing else. What it sends

Quiet. No reports in the last two weeks, down from 1 a week at the late-September peak. A workaround is known.

Tools fail to start after updates: code-mode host not found. On Windows, codex.exe looks for codex-code-mode-host.exe in an old or parent bin directory while the executable exists elsewhere.
