What issue are you seeing?

I am reporting a persistent issue with Codex version 0.125.0 where the plugin system is not functioning correctly. Despite having a valid subscription and trying several troubleshooting steps, the UI only displays 2 "Built by OpenAI" plugins. The full list of marketplace plugins and local tools is missing.
Steps I have already taken (but did not work):
Cleared the app cache in %APPDATA%.
Verified that Git is installed and added to the System PATH.
Manually added "plugins = true" and "enabledPlugins": { "codex@openai-codex": true } in the settings.json / config.toml files.
Used CLI commands like /reload-plugins and codex --no-alt-screen.
Reinstalled the application from the Microsoft Store.
Signed out and signed back into the account.
Expected Behavior:
The app should display all available marketplace plugins and local tools that were accessible in previous versions.
Actual Behavior:
The interface only shows 2 default OpenAI plugins, and the "New Plugin" or "Marketplace" options are either missing or unresponsive.
Environment Details:
Codex Version: 0.125.0
OS: Windows 10/11
Account Type: Free

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Are you using the CLI (TUI) or the app? You created the bug report using the "app" bug report template, but the version number you listed appears to be for the CLI.

I am seeing a very similar regression today after updating Codex Desktop on macOS.

Environment:

Codex Desktop: 26.513.20950, bundle version 2816
Platform: macOS / darwin-arm64
Subscription: paid account

Observed behavior:

The installed plugins menu still shows plugins such as Documents, Spreadsheets, Presentations, Browser, Google Calendar, Gmail, Figma, GitHub, Google Drive, Notion, etc.
In the composer, typing @ shows the Plugins section briefly with Loading plugins..., but then the section disappears and no plugin entries are selectable.
Browser/Gmail/Google Drive/Documents cannot be selected from the mention picker even though they appear installed.

Local evidence:

The plugin bundles are present locally under the Codex plugin cache.
Some tools can still be forced by tool discovery / skill bootstrap, so this does not look like missing local plugin files.
The desktop logs repeatedly show plugin/list failing against the remote installed plugins endpoint:

method=plugin/list errorCode=-32600
list remote plugin catalog: remote plugin catalog request to https://chatgpt.com/backend-api/ps/plugins/installed failed with status 404 Not Found: {"detail":"Not Found"}

This matches the UI symptom exactly: the composer starts loading plugins, the remote catalog request fails, and the plugin mention list ends up empty.

Could the desktop app either fix the ps/plugins/installed endpoint regression or fall back to the locally installed/cached plugin snapshot when this endpoint returns 404? It would also help if the composer surfaced this error instead of silently hiding the Plugins section.

Having the exact same issue.
Codex Desktop: 26.513.20950
codex-cli: 0.131.0-alpha.9
macOS

@ plugin picker shows “Loading plugins…” forever.

Local plugin list succeeds:
plugin/list marketplaceKinds=["local"] -> OK

Remote/combined plugin list fails:
plugin/list marketplaceKinds=["shared-with-me"] -> 404 from https://chatgpt.com/backend-api/ps/plugins/installed
plugin/list marketplaceKinds=["local","shared-with-me"] -> same 404

This appears to break the chat composer plugin mention list even though installed local plugins are available.
