What issue are you seeing?
After updating Codex desktop, the Plugins and Skills pages render as a large blurred/covered overlay and are unreadable. The app still appears to load plugin and skill data, but the UI cannot be used normally.
This affects both the Plugins tab and the Skills tab. Installed plugins still seem to work in chats, but the marketplace/list UI is visually broken.

What steps can reproduce the bug?
- Open Codex desktop on macOS.
- Click Plugins in the left sidebar.
- The Plugins page opens, but the list is blurred/covered and unreadable.
- Click Skills.
- The Skills page has the same blurred/unreadable rendering issue.
Troubleshooting already tried:
- Reloaded Codex
- Reset zoom
- Restarted Codex
- Cleared ~/Library/Application Support/Codex cache/rendering folders
- Launched Codex with --disable-gpu
- Renamed ~/Library/Application Support/Codex to force app state rebuild
- Reset ~/.codex/.codex-global-state.json
The issue still happens after all of those.
What is the expected behavior?
The Plugins and Skills pages should render readable plugin/skill cards or lists, with visible names, descriptions, buttons, and search results.
Additional information
Relevant log clue:
unsupported feature enablement workspace_dependencies: currently supported features are apps, memories, plugins, tool_search, tool_suggest, tool_call_mcp_elicitation
Other info from logs:
- App server reports: 0.126.0-alpha.8
- Runtime/plugin bundle shown in logs: 26.426.12240
- plugin/list requests return successfully, so this appears to be a UI rendering issue rather than plugin loading failure.
