Codex bundles LibreOffice

I was poking around in my ~/.cache/ folder using OmniDiskSweeper when I spotted something interesting. The OpenAI Codex desktop app (since rebranded to just ChatGPT) has 1.7GB of stuff in there in a folder called codex-primary-runtime , including a full Python installation, a full Node.js installation, and native binaries for Poppler , git, and the LibreOffice open source office suite (which forked from OpenOffice.org in 2010): The ~/.cache/codex-runtimes/codex-primary-runtime/plugins/openai-primary-runtime/plugins/documents folder includes skills which tell Codex how to find and use those binaries.
