Codex Windows desktop app deep link / OAuth callback bug

Environment:

• Windows 11
• Codex desktop app version: 26.527.3686.0
• Package: OpenAI.Codex_26.527.3686.0_x64__2p2nqsd0c76g0
• App executable: C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\OpenAI.Codex_26.527.3686.0_x64__2p2nqsd0c76g0\app\Codex.exe

Issue: Codex desktop app launches normally, but any browser/deep-link callback into Codex fails. This happens when connecting Supabase via OAuth and also when switching/login account flows.

Error shown: "Error launching app" "Unable to find Electron app at C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\OpenAI.Codex_26.52...?code=...&state=..." or "Unable to find Electron app at C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\OpenAI.Codex_26.52...\type=click&tag=..." "Cannot find module ..."

Expected: The codex:// callback URL should be handled by the running Codex app.

Actual: Electron appears to interpret the callback/query parameters as the Electron app path/module, then fails to find that module.

Tried:

• Repair Codex from Windows Settings
• Reset/reinstall Codex
• Re-register AppX package
• Recreate codex:// registry handler
• Issue persists across account switching and Supabase OAuth flow

Impact: OAuth/deep-link flows into Codex are broken. Supabase MCP only works after bypassing OAuth and using SUPABASE_ACCESS_TOKEN manually.

What is the expected behavior?

Expected: The codex:// callback URL should be handled by the running Codex app.
