What issue are you seeing?

Environment:

• MacBook Pro 2019
• macOS 15.7.5
• GPU: Intel Iris Plus Graphics 645 1536 MB
• Codex app: 26.506.31421 (2620)

Issue: The plugin page has serious rendering problems on this machine.

When hardware acceleration is ON:

• Entering the plugin area causes transparent overlay/blank obstruction
• Parts of the page are covered or not rendered correctly <img width="881" height="773" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/15779b04-a8f8-4098-b00b-893e43b688eb" />

When hardware acceleration is OFF:

• The transparent overlay is reduced or disappears
• But the page still renders incorrectly, with color shifts, layout issues, and partial content drawing

This does not appear to be a problem with a specific plugin. It seems to be a general rendering / compositing compatibility issue in the Codex app on this Intel Mac.

Repro steps:

1. Open Codex app
2. Go to the Plugins section
3. Click into any plugin page
4. Observe the rendering issue

Notes:

• Disabling hardware acceleration avoids the worst transparent overlay problem
• However, the UI still looks incorrect without hardware acceleration
• Screenshot attached
