Bug: Screenshot tool unavailable in environment
Description
When Codex attempts to attach a UI screenshot, it fails with the following warning instead of capturing and embedding the screenshot:
⚠️ Screenshot note: I couldn't attach a UI screenshot because the required browser screenshot tool isn't available in this environment.
No screenshot is attached and the task continues without visual context, which can reduce the quality of Codex's output for UI-related tasks.
Steps to Reproduce
- Give Codex a task that involves UI interaction or visual inspection
- Observe the warning message in place of a screenshot
Expected Behavior
Codex should be able to capture and attach a screenshot of the current UI state to provide visual context for the task.
Actual Behavior
Codex emits a warning that the browser screenshot tool is unavailable and skips the screenshot entirely.
Environment
- [ ] macOS
- [ ] Linux
- [ ] Windows
Codex version: <!-- e.g. output of codex --version -->
What steps can reproduce the bug?
Building anything

_No response_
Additional information
This appears to be an environment configuration issue where the screenshot tooling is not set up or accessible. It's unclear if this is a missing dependency, a permissions issue, or an unsupported platform.
