jdmbair13m5-changelog-20260828-2033-codex-pets-fleet-availability

Richh's previously absent ChatGPT desktop pet directory was created and populated with canonical Joey, TARS, CASE, and KIPP v2 packages.

Scope

• Host: jdmbair13m5
• App: /Applications/ChatGPT.app, bundle com.openai.codex, version 26.825.31414
• Source: rdmsm4x:/Users/richh/dev/LLM/codex/codex-pets/pets
• No current-avatar selection, provider state, or active task was changed.

• This changelog file

Commands and verification

• Pinned the host against ED25519 fingerprint prefix OXqHs7H9 before writes.
• Staged package pairs with rsync, checked v2 manifest fields with jq, and verified exact source hashes with shasum -a 256 before installation.
• Final sips dimensions are 1536 x 2288 for all four installed atlases; directories are 0700 and package files are 0600.
• The installed ChatGPT bundle contains the custom-pet discovery contract.
• A second comparison reported would-skip for all four pets.

Backup and undo

The pet directory was absent before deployment, so no content rollback copy exists. Removal would be destructive and should occur only on an explicit future request; current-avatar selection is independent.

Outstanding owner actions

Apple Notes publication in the required per-host folder remains pending because the SSH session is Background rather than Aqua; this Markdown record is durable on the host. Opening the pet picker triggers a rescan; selection remains independent.
