What version of the Codex App are you using (From “About Codex” dialog)?

Version 26.422.30944 (2080)

What subscription do you have?

Plus

What platform is your computer?

Darwin 25.3.0 arm64 arm

What issue are you seeing?

The requested @browser-use path is blocked in this session. I attempted to initialize the in-app browser backend and got: No Codex IAB backends were discovered

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Create an automation with prompt "@Browser Use Open google.com and search for openAI return me first 10 result summary" and execute it in local

What is the expected behavior?

Codex should be able to open the in-app browser and do the work
