Research direction
Start by locating the unified desktop app's icon-choice handling and the available Codex and ChatGPT icon assets. Compare the behavior with #28861 and #31186. Done means the app exposes distinct Codex Light and Codex Dark choices alongside the corresponding ChatGPT options, with Codex Light displaying the expected light asset.

Description
Summary
After the recent unified ChatGPT/Codex desktop update, the app no longer appears to offer a true Codex Light icon option.
This is related to #28861, but it is not exactly the same issue. #28861 describes a case where a Codex Light option exists but renders like the Default icon. What I am seeing is that the unified app does not expose a true Codex Light icon/asset as a first-class choice.
Current behavior
- I can see/use a dark Codex icon.
- I cannot find a true Codex Light icon option in the app icon choices.
- The previous light Codex icon appears to be removed or inaccessible in the unified desktop app.
Expected behavior
- Restore Codex Light as a separate Dock/app icon option.
- The icon choices should include both Codex Light and Codex Dark.
- Codex and ChatGPT branding should each have clear light/dark icon options instead of only a partial mix, such as ChatGPT Light plus Codex Dark.
