I've added a network check to "cafe-wifi-okawari", the Mac tool that automatically reconnects you when your free café Wi‑Fi session times out.

Staying connected is convenient, but most free café Wi‑Fi is not encrypted. If someone on the same Wi‑Fi pretends to be the router, or your Mac's settings leave it open to others on the network, you normally have no way of noticing. So the tool now looks at the Wi‑Fi you're connected to and your Mac's settings every 10 seconds, and lets you know in the menu bar only when there are warning signs.

On July 14, 2026, while delegating a large-scale English localization task for content within a development project, Codex started a local Ollama server. There is no evidence that inference or translation was actually performed by Ollama, but the process advanced as far as server startup, GPU detection, and retrieval of the list of locally available models. This post documents what happened and the design considerations worth keeping in mind when delegating long-running, large-scale tasks to a coding agent.

0. [Resolved] Outcome and Final Conclusion (Updated December 2025)​

Regarding this issue, I have finally successfully logged in and resolved the problem. I would like to share the conclusion with those who visited this article facing similar circumstances.

Results of Support Consultation and Investigation​

Initially, I requested an investigation through Billing Support to a specialized team. However, it took considerable time to coordinate the scope of responsibility between departments (Billing Team ⇄ Technical Team). Ultimately, I was informed that the "Technical Team could not investigate as it was outside their scope," and the case was closed with a suggestion to use the official community forums.

The 7-Day Waiting Period​

However, immediately after the support interaction ended—approximately 7 days after the error first occurred—the situation improved after I refrained from any operations. The 2-Step Verification (2SV) process, which had previously blocked me with the "We couldn't verify it's you" error, successfully went through. I was then able to configure my security settings and log in to Google Cloud.

Based on the login history, the presumed factor for resolution is: "By refraining from login attempts for a certain period, the system's security lock was automatically lifted."
