Codex Desktop Linux fork — fast patch iteration workflow. Use when: (1) editing scripts/patches/*.js and wanting ~1s renderer hot-reload (2) editing launcher/start.sh.template or launcher/webview-server.py (3) running / driving a dev codex against the local codex-app/ install
without going through pacman or ./install.sh re-runs
(4) inspecting the running codex (DOM, console, network) via the
codex-devtools MCP attached to its CDP port
(5) triggering codex internal IPC actions (open mascot, etc.) via CDP
