API-key auth blocks local/private plugin marketplace management in Codex app

When signed in with an API key, the Codex app Plugins UI says ChatGPT auth is required to use plugins. That may be correct for OpenAI-provided remote plugins or ChatGPT app-backed plugins, but it incorrectly blocks local/private plugin marketplaces.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Repro:

  1. Sign in to Codex app with API key auth.
  2. Set features.plugins = true.
  3. Add or already have a local/private marketplace in config.toml.
  4. Open Plugins UI.
  5. UI refuses access because ChatGPT auth is required.

What is the expected behavior?

API-key users can manage and use local/private marketplaces. Only ChatGPT-hosted or OpenAI-provided remote plugin catalog/app integrations should require ChatGPT auth.

Additional information

The whole Plugins UI is blocked, which effectively disables personal/local/private plugins for API-key users. This has blocked my entire company's access to the plugin marketplace that we have developed for internal use.
