Action plan is what to do next — copy-pasteable changes prioritized by impact. Category visibility is the real GEO test: when a user asks an AI a brand-free question that should surface ilysenko/codex-desktop-linux, does the AI actually recommend you — or your competitors? Objective checks verify the metadata signals AI engines weight first. Self-mention check detects whether AI even knows you exist by name.

2 prioritized changes generated by gemini-2.5-flash. Mark items done after you ship the fix.
- highreadme#1Clarify the README's opening sentence to emphasize macOS app conversion
Why:
CURRENT# Codex Desktop for Linux Unofficial Linux build of OpenAI Codex Desktop. The official Codex Desktop app is macOS-only — this project converts the upstream macOS `Codex.dmg` into a runnable Linux Electron app, ships native `.deb` / `.rpm` / `.pkg.tar.zst` packages plus local AppImage self-builds and a Nix flake, and includes a local auto-updater that rebuilds future native Linux packages from newer upstream DMGs.
COPY-PASTE FIX# Codex Desktop for Linux This project provides an unofficial, automated way to run the macOS-only OpenAI Codex Desktop app natively on Linux. It converts the upstream macOS `Codex.dmg` into a runnable Linux Electron app, shipping native `.deb` / `.rpm` / `.pkg.tar.zst` packages, local AppImage self-builds, and a Nix flake, plus an auto-updater for future upstream DMGs.
