Safety and one-click restore
How Codex Styler avoids app bundle patching, restricts theme packages, and restores the official Codex Desktop interface.
No app bundle modification
Styler launches the installed Codex executable with a temporary remote debugging port bound to 127.0.0.1. It never edits app.asar, application resources, code signatures, or updater files.
A deliberately narrow package format
Theme imports are size-limited, type-sniffed, path-checked, and schema-validated. Packages cannot execute scripts or fetch remote resources.
Runtime verification and fallback
Enhanced mode applies the complete semantic treatment and verifies live anchors and computed styles. A different Codex version is informational; only a real runtime health failure triggers fallback to the isolated scene layer. Conservative mode always stays isolated.
