What issue are you seeing?

After upgrading Codex Desktop today, two Codex local runtime features are broken.

Environment:

• Windows
• Codex Desktop log shows app.version=0.125.0-alpha.3
• Browser Use plugin: openai-bundled/browser-use/0.1.0-alpha1
• Workspace: E:\job-picc\ebs-shop-backend\ebs-trade-service

Issue 1: bundled workspace dependencies fail to install
Steps:

1. Call load_workspace_dependencies()
2. It returns: No bundled workspace runtime dependencies are configured yet. Call install_workspace_dependencies() to install them.
3. Call install_workspace_dependencies()
4. It fails with: Failed to install workspace dependency runtime.

Issue 2: Browser Use in-app browser cannot navigate to external URL
What works:

• setupAtlasRuntime({ backend: "iab" }) succeeds
• agent.browser.nameSession(...) succeeds
• agent.browser.tabs.new() succeeds and creates about:blank

What fails:

• tab.goto("https://www.bing.com/search?q=bilibili")

Error:
failed to start codex app-server: 系统找不到指定的路径。 (os error 3)

Notes:

• In-app browser is open, current URL is not navigated/about:blank.
• System global Node works: C:\Program Files\nodejs\node.exe, v22.22.2.
• System Python alias was disabled; no global Python is currently resolved.
• This does not look project-specific. It looks like Codex Desktop app-server / bundled dependency runtime path is broken after upgrade.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Steps to reproduce:

1. Start Codex Desktop on Windows.
2. Open a Codex session with the Browser Use plugin enabled.
3. Run the workspace dependency check:

load_workspace_dependencies()

Actual result:
No bundled workspace runtime dependencies are configured yet. Call install_workspace_dependencies() to install them.

1. Run:

install_workspace_dependencies()

Actual result:
Failed to install workspace dependency runtime.

1. Test Browser Use in the in-app browser with:

const { setupAtlasRuntime } = await import("C:/Users/admin/.codex/plugins/cache/openai-bundled/browser-use/0.1.0-alpha1/scripts/browser-client.mjs");
await setupAtlasRuntime({ globals: globalThis, backend: "iab" });
await agent.browser.nameSession("repro");
globalThis.tab = await agent.browser.tabs.new();
await tab.goto("https://www.bing.com/search?q=bilibili");

Actual result:
failed to start codex app-server: 系统找不到指定的路径。 (os error 3)

Expected result:

• install_workspace_dependencies() should install/configure the bundled workspace runtime successfully.
• Browser Use should be able to navigate the in-app browser to an external HTTPS URL.

Environment:

• OS: Windows
• Codex Desktop package: OpenAI.Codex_26.422.3464.0_x64__2p2nqsd0c76g0
• App version from logs: 0.125.0-alpha.3
• Browser Use plugin: openai-bundled/browser-use/0.1.0-alpha1

Notes:
This started after upgrading Codex Desktop. The Browser Use plugin can initialize and create an about:blank tab, but external navigation fails when Codex tries to start the app-server. This does not appear to be project-specific.

What is the expected behavior?
