Codex Desktop plugin marketplace rendering broken on macOS 12.7.6

Summary

Codex Desktop shows a broken plugin marketplace layout on macOS 12.7.6. Reinstalling the app does not resolve it. Browser / Computer Use integration also appears unavailable from the assistant side even when the UI indicates the browser/plugin is started.

Environment

  • OS: macOS 12.7.6
  • Codex Desktop version: 26.519.41501 (3044)
  • Install location: /Applications/Codex.app

Symptoms

    • Large blank area on the left.
    • Plugin cards/text are clipped horizontally.
    • Search/filter controls appear offset.

Expected Behavior

Actual Behavior

  • Plugin marketplace layout is broken.
  • Browser automation interface returns an empty browser list.
  • Logs show native module load failure for a bundled Codex component.

Impact

The desktop app can launch, but plugin marketplace rendering and Browser / Computer Use functionality are not usable. This blocks workflows that require in-app browser access, such as inspecting a logged-in Gmail page.

Notes

This looks like a macOS 12 compatibility issue. The sky.node native module appears to depend on a Foundation/Swift symbol unavailable on macOS 12.7.6. If Codex Desktop no longer supports macOS 12, the app should ideally communicate this clearly in system requirements and/or disable affected functionality gracefully.
