 ## Prerequisites
 
 - **Codex installed and logged in.** The bridge drives a real Codex session, so the `codex` CLI has to be on the machine and authenticated — install it ([developers.openai.com/codex](https://developers.openai.com/codex)), then either sign in with a ChatGPT/Codex login or set `OPENAI_API_KEY`. `inkbox-codex doctor` checks for it.
-- **Python 3.10+.** The installer finds one and builds the bridge its own venv.
+- **Python 3.11+.** The installer finds one and builds the bridge its own venv.
 - **macOS or Linux.** Boot persistence uses a systemd user unit on Linux and a launchd agent on macOS.
 - **An Inkbox agent** — nothing to set up in advance; the setup wizard self-signs up for you (or takes an existing API key).
