Error Message

Looks like the plugins screen doesn't handle the empty/error state from the bundled marketplace resolver gracefully.

Code Example

warning [BundledPluginsMarketplace] bundled_plugins_marketplace_resolve_failed
errorMessage="Bundled plugins marketplace has no enabled plugins."
  at KE (app.asar/.vite/build/workspace-root-drop-handler-B6CbYVqW.js:270:6600)
  at async GE (:270:6164)
  at async Object.WE (:270:5016)

The "Make Codex work your way" plugins screen renders incorrectly.

What happens

  • Left panel is blank black (only a thin blue left-edge accent and a stray "F" visible at the bottom).
  • Right column plugin rows render but are clipped on their left edge, so names appear as "…nage Slack", "…nage Gmail" (✓), "…rence issues and…", "…e Drive, Docs, Sheets, an…".
  • Featured plugin thumbnail is cropped. Search bar and title render fine.

Looks like the plugins screen doesn't handle the empty/error state from the bundled marketplace resolver gracefully.

extent analysis

TL;DR

The issue can likely be addressed by handling the empty/error state from the bundled marketplace resolver in the plugins screen.

Guidance

  • Investigate the bundled_plugins_marketplace_resolve_failed warning and the Bundled plugins marketplace has no enabled plugins error message to understand why the marketplace resolver is failing.
  • Check the app.asar/.vite/build/workspace-root-drop-handler-B6CbYVqW.js file at lines 270:6600, 270:6164, and 270:5016 to identify the root cause of the issue.
  • Consider adding error handling or a fallback state for the plugins screen when the marketplace resolver returns an empty or error state.
  • Verify that the issue is not related to the specific environment or hardware configuration by testing on different machines or configurations.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue does not contain sufficient information to create a specific example.

Notes

The issue may be specific to the Codex desktop version 26.417.41555 or the macOS version 26.4.1, and further investigation is needed to determine the root cause.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround by adding error handling or a fallback state for the plugins screen when the marketplace resolver returns an empty or error state, as this is likely to be a more immediate solution than waiting for a potential fix in a future version.
