I would not recommend of getting in the habit of just trusting that.
"For the record, I just asked Astra to verify that Codex does NOT do this, and it doesn't. Thanks for not screwing this up, OpenAI."
Astra checked the Codex source code that gets compiled and shipped by Arch Linux. Straight up linked me to the User-Agent builder code.

That's more than sufficient for me. The open source codex client seems clean.
There is some kind of "hosted search service" that I couldn't verify. I don't have a remote server I can point it at in order to inspect the traffic. Would be cool if someone else could shed some light on that.
