I gave Codex with GPT-5.5 High this prompt: Identify bugs in [datrs/varinteger](https://github.com/datrs/varinteger) . Do NOT look at the GitHub issues, just inspect the source It also found the bug that Leanstral 1.5 found and the authors highlighted. I think this bug wasn't especially tricky; it's just a case of too few eyeballs on this repo. Congrats on the release regardless! Excited for the direction Lean + automated AI proofs are headed. Disclosure: I work at OpenAI.
