Report security issues privately through GitHub's Report a vulnerability feature rather than a public issue.
The runtime uses local Windows UI Automation only for the visible model/effort
picker in Codex and ChatGPT Chat. It does not use an OpenAI API key, read task
or conversation messages, or send telemetry. The MSIX-only helper contacts
Microsoft Store through Windows.Services.Store solely to update ReasonKey;
the direct EXE remains offline. The release downloader contacts GitHub and
verifies the setup executable against the release SHA-256 file.
See PRIVACY.md for the complete local-data and network behavior statement used by the Microsoft Store listing.
Do not publish logs that contain private filesystem paths or other sensitive environment details without reviewing them first.
