Seems to be the GUI only? Meaning no one on Linux is affected, or any of the people just using the TUI, as far as I can tell. I've used codex for a some time, and my current drive is ~1 year old (7624 hours on), only 86TB written so far, ~1% of lifetime writes.
its gui only and i dont think it happen for everyone.i dont see it on my machine, but its good to check. didnt notice anything on cli nor gui, but i started gui only on last 2 versions

This reddit thread is devoid of any useful information. Just fear and speculation.
The GUI app does run the fan very hard and heat the laptop for something supposedly running on the cloud. If it is using my computer to cache things and assist with tasks, okay, but if it’s just revving the motor I don’t want it to.
> Codex Desktop for macOS triggers a persistent macOS Gatekeeper/SystemPolicy loop after launch.

As a Linux guy, I recently did some macOS development and was incredibly annoyed by the "security" features, which seem designed to shift blame for security issues from Apple to users.

macOS is constantly throwing up security screens and warnings about completely normal programs the user knowingly installed and trusted.

If a developer pays for an Apple Developer account, signs their software, and a user knowingly downloads and installs it, that software should be allowed to run and do what the user wants.

Does writing to an SSD often really 'wear out' the device?
