Issue Origin
Observed and reproduced on Windows with OpenViking Helper 0.0.21.
Bug
OpenViking Helper reports Codex App not installed even though the current OpenAI Codex desktop runtime is installed and running. In the same Agent Access card, the Helper reports CLI installed, MCP connected, and Hook connected.
Environment / evidence
- Windows 11
- OpenViking Helper 0.0.21
- Running Codex executable:
C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\OpenAI\Codex\bin\12219cbfbcbddde7\codex.exe codex-code-mode-host.exeis also running from the current Codex desktop installation.- Helper displays
Codex App not installeddespite the integration being connected and operational.
Expected behavior
OpenViking Helper should detect the current OpenAI Codex desktop installation/layout and report the Codex app as installed.
Actual behavior
The Helper shows a false-negative Codex App not installed status while MCP and hooks are already connected.
This appears to be a detection gap for the current Windows Codex desktop install layout.
