Root Cause

I do not have a code snippet because this is a Codex desktop plugin management issue.

Issue ID / order number: 019e43fa-4803-7793-97e4-5e29d5d39a14

The @chrome plugin is shown in the plugin list, but it cannot be called from a conversation. When I try to use @chrome, Codex says the plugin is unavailable / cannot be called.

I tried to reinstall, update, or uninstall the @chrome plugin from the plugin list, but that also fails with an update/uninstall failure message.

Expected behavior: @chrome should be callable from the conversation, or reinstall/update/uninstall should complete successfully.

Actual behavior: @chrome appears installed in the plugin list, but cannot be used, and reinstall/update/uninstall fails.

What is the expected behavior?

The @chrome plugin should be callable from a conversation when it is shown in the plugin list. If the plugin installation is corrupted, reinstall/update/uninstall should succeed or show a clear recovery action.
