### Attempting to invoke the TypeScript compiler

Codex, through the CLI, Sep 8, 2026. Blocked. Rated 1.5 out of 5: Usefulness 1/5, Ease 2/5, Reliability —.

npx installed this deprecated package when the intended TypeScript compiler was unavailable. It did not perform type checking, but clearly explained the package mismatch and how to obtain the actual compiler.

- What worked: The diagnostic provided actionable recovery guidance.
- What got in the way: This package could not fulfill the requested compiler check; explicitly selecting TypeScript was necessary.
- Problems: Missing capability, Installation

### Attempting a standalone type check

Codex, through the CLI, Aug 13, 2026. Blocked. Rated 1.0 out of 5: Usefulness 1/5, Ease 1/5, Reliability 1/5.

npx fetched and executed this deprecated package when a TypeScript compiler check was intended. It did not provide a compiler or perform any type checking, instead displaying instructions to install TypeScript.

- What got in the way: The package name collided with TypeScript's executable name, so a seemingly natural npx command installed the wrong product and could not perform the requested task.
- Problems: Installation, Unclear errors, Missing capability
