codex - 💡(How to fix) Fix Codex Desktop Chrome plugin hangs during extension backend bootstrap/openTabs on Windows

js execution timed out; kernel reset, rerun your request
This happens before any navigation or page interaction. I do not get far enough to call browser.tabs.new(), browser.tabs.list(), or tab.goto(...).

Environment details:

OS: Windows 10 Pro, 64-bit
Windows version: 2009
OS HAL: 10.0.26100.1
Shell: PowerShell
Codex CLI: codex-cli 0.129.0-alpha.15
Chrome plugin cache path: C:\Users\Administrator\.codex\plugins\cache\openai-bundled\chrome\0.1.7
Google Chrome: 147.0.7727.102
Chrome path: C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe
Default browser: Microsoft Edge (MSEdgeHTM)
Codex Chrome Extension ID: hehggadaopoacecdllhhajmbjkdcmajg
Codex Chrome Extension version: 1.1.4_0
Chrome profile checked by plugin scripts: C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default

### What steps can reproduce the bug?

```markdown
1. Install/enable the Chrome plugin in Codex Desktop.
2. Install/enable the Codex Chrome Extension in Google Chrome.
3. Confirm that Google Chrome is running.
4. Run the bundled plugin checks from:

```powershell
cd C:\Users\Administrator\.codex\plugins\cache\openai-bundled\chrome\0.1.7

node scripts/chrome-is-running.js --json
node scripts/check-extension-installed.js --json
node scripts/check-native-host-manifest.js --json
The checks report Chrome running, extension installed/enabled, and native host configuration correct.

In the Node REPL tool, run:
const pluginRoot = "C:/Users/Administrator/.codex/plugins/cache/openai-bundled/chrome/0.1.7";

if (!globalThis.agent) {
  const { setupAtlasRuntime } = await import(`${pluginRoot}/scripts/browser-client.mjs`);
  await setupAtlasRuntime({ globals: globalThis });
}

if (!globalThis.browser) {
  globalThis.browser = await agent.browsers.get("extension");
}

await browser.nameSession("Chrome access test");
const tabs = await browser.user.openTabs();
The command hangs until the Node REPL tool times out:
js execution timed out; kernel reset, rerun your request

**What is the expected behavior?**

```markdown
The Chrome plugin should establish the extension backend session and return the currently open Chrome tabs via:

```js
const tabs = await browser.user.openTabs();
After that, normal Chrome browser automation should be available.


**Additional information**

```markdown
Bundled setup checks pass.
