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

Fading. No reports and thumbs-up in the last 7 days and 4 the week before, down from 60 a week at the late-September peak. A workaround is known.

Cmd+C no longer copies selected text on macOS. After updating the CLI, selected Codex output only copies with Ctrl+C; Cmd+C does not copy it.
