Remote script. The repair command may download dependencies and model weights, so review the printed command before running it.
Who it is forA Codex user who updated the Privacy HUD plugin and now sees unverified warnings or denials on outbound calls.
The problemAfter an update, old daemons or MCP servers can keep running while the new hooks no longer match the recorded runtime selection.
The outcomeThe runtime is aligned again, the Privacy HUD reports verified ingress, and the Codex app or CLI is restarted with the plugin loaded.
What you need first
- macOS on Apple Silicon or Intel (Linux and Windows are not packaged)
- Codex CLI installed and signed in, with `codex --version` printing a version
- Python 3.11 or newer on your PATH
- About 3 GB of disk if you want name and address detection
Steps
- Run
python3 "$PRIVACY_HUD_BUNDLE/scripts/runtime.py" --plugin-data "$PRIVACY_HUD_DATA" doctorto check alignment. (inferred, check the README) - Run
python3 "$PRIVACY_HUD_BUNDLE/scripts/runtime.py" --plugin-data "$PRIVACY_HUD_DATA" repair --print-commandto print the exact recovery command. (inferred, check the README) - Run the printed repair command in another terminal, because repair does not run itself; it may download dependencies and model weights.
- Restart the Codex app, CLI or IDE integration that loaded the plugin.
- Run the doctor command again and confirm the runtime reports as aligned.
Prompt for your agent
In the repo inin-zou/codex-privacy-hud, set PRIVACY_HUD_BUNDLE to <bundle-path> and PRIVACY_HUD_DATA to <data-path>, then run the doctor command. Expected output: a report of runtime alignment, and if it is misaligned, the exact repair command. Verify that you do not run the repair command yourself unless the user has approved the downloads it may perform.
Caveat. Repair preserves ledger records but cannot reconstruct monitoring gaps or lost in-memory state from the period before it ran.
