Adds Codex desktop app support alongside Claude. Each Codex profile runs as a genuinely concurrent instance via the undocumented CODEX_ELECTRON_USER_DATA_PATH env var that bypasses Codex's singleton check — no admin, no registry hacks. See README for the technical details.

What's new

  • Codex support — full feature parity with Claude (profiles, shortcuts, login patch, etc.)
  • App switcher — press 8 in the menu to flip between Claude and Codex
  • Real concurrent Codex instances — multiple profiles run side by side, each signed into its own OpenAI account
  • Per-app isolation: profiles, shortcuts, codex:// / claude:// login patches, all independent
  • State consolidated into a single state.json (replaces .active_profile)

Install
