- Updated snapshot tests in TUI (36 frame files)
- Fixed authentication storage tests
- Updated Chat Completions payload and SSE tests
- Fixed SDK tests for new API endpoints
- Ensured compatibility with Claude Sonnet 4.5 model
- Fixed test environment variables (LLMX_API_KEY, LLMX_BASE_URL)
### Phase 7: Build & Release Pipeline
- Updated GitHub Actions workflows for LLMX binary names
- Fixed rust-release.yml to reference llmx-rs/ instead of codex-rs/
- Updated CI/CD pipelines for new package names
- Made Apple code signing optional in release workflow
- Enhanced npm packaging resilience for partial platform builds
- Added Windows sandbox support to workspace
- Updated dotslash configuration for new binary names
### Phase 8: Final Polish

## Technical Details
**Breaking Changes:**
- Binary name changed from `codex` to `llmx`
- Config directory changed from `~/.codex/` to `~/.llmx/`
- Environment variables renamed (CODEX_* → LLMX_*)
- npm package renamed to `@valknar/llmx`
**New Features:**
- Support for 100+ LLM providers via LiteLLM
- Unified authentication with LLMX_API_KEY
- Enhanced model provider detection and handling
- Improved error handling and fallback mechanisms
**Files Changed:**
- 578 files modified across Rust, TypeScript, and documentation

# What
Updates the install command in the changelog template (`cliff.toml`)
from
```
npm install -g codex@version
```
to
```
npm install -g @openai/codex@<version>
```
# Why
The current command is incorrect, it tries installs the old “codex”
static site generator rather than the OpenAI Codex CLI.
# How
Edited only the header string in `cliff.toml` to point to
@openai/codex@<version>. No changelog regeneration or other files
touched.
