That framing assumes Codex Security is supposed to behave like CodeQL, Semgrep, or another machine-readable static analysis system that emits deterministic findings into a normal code-scanning pipeline. Based on OpenAI's own product description, that is not what it is.

That is a different operating model from classic SAST, and it explains why teams should not expect a SARIF-first artifact to be the main output.
