Linux v26.707.31428 is missing codex-code-mode-host, breaking local file and terminal tools #23

Description

Guys, the Linux .deb for v26.707.31428 is missing codex-code-mode-host.

The new ChatGPT/Codex UI itself starts fine and the new models are available, but local coding tools cannot start:

failed to spawn code-mode host /usr/lib/codex-desktop/resources/codex-code-mode-host: No such file or directory (os error 2)

I installed the release package normally on Ubuntu 24.04.4 LTS:

Package: codex-desktop 26.707.31428
Package source: codex-app-linux-x64-v26.707.31428.deb

I also checked both the installed files and the original .deb:

ls -l /usr/lib/codex-desktop/resources/codex-code-mode-host
dpkg -L codex-desktop | grep codex-code-mode-host
dpkg-deb -c $HOME/.cache/codex-app-updater/codex-app-linux-x64-v26.707.31428.deb | grep codex-code-mode-host

Result:

ls: cannot access '/usr/lib/codex-desktop/resources/codex-code-mode-host': No such file or directory

The two package-listing commands return nothing too, so this looks like a packaging issue rather than a broken local install.

I noticed PR #24 explicitly adds the complete Codex helper layout, including the code-mode host. It looks like it may fix this exact issue. Is that right?

Right now the PR is still open and has merge conflicts, so I assume those changes are not in the released v26.707.31428 package yet. Thanks.
