Codex Desktop plugins page stuck on Intel Mac; public macOS DMG is arm64-only

Summary

Codex Desktop's Plugins page appears stuck / partially rendered on an Intel Mac, even after restarting Codex, clearing Electron UI state, resetting ~/Library/Application Support/Codex, and validating a local plugin marketplace. In addition, the public macOS download URL currently returns an arm64 build that cannot run on this Intel Mac.

Environment

• Device architecture: Intel Mac, x86_64
• macOS: 14.6.1, build 23G93
• Codex Desktop version: 26.513.31313
• Codex Desktop build: 2867
• Bundled CLI: codex-cli 0.131.0-alpha.9

What happened

1. Created a local plugin marketplace and plugin:

• Marketplace name: compute-use-local
• Plugin: compute-use
• Config entry: [plugins."compute-use@compute-use-local"] enabled = true

1. Verified the plugin manifest JSON, marketplace JSON, icon/logo files, and local paths.
2. Restarted Codex multiple times.
3. Cleared Electron UI caches and reset ~/Library/Application Support/Codex by moving it to a timestamped backup.
4. Removed duplicate/old app-server processes.
5. Plugins page still appeared stuck / partially rendered rather than showing the local plugin normally.

Additional installation issue

Tried reinstalling from the public Codex macOS download URL:

https://persistent.oaistatic.com/codex-app-prod/Codex.dmg

The downloaded app was arm64-only:

/Applications/Codex.app/Contents/MacOS/Codex: Mach-O 64-bit executable arm64
/Applications/Codex.app/Contents/Resources/codex: Mach-O 64-bit executable arm64

On this Intel Mac, attempting to run the bundled CLI failed with:

Bad CPU type in executable

The previous Intel build was restored afterward.

Expected behavior

• Codex Desktop should render the Plugins page correctly on Intel Mac.
• Local marketplaces/plugins with valid manifests should appear normally.
• The public macOS download should either provide a universal binary, auto-select Intel vs Apple Silicon, or clearly expose an Intel-compatible download.

Actual behavior

• Plugins page remains stuck / partially rendered.
• Public macOS DMG appears to be arm64-only and cannot run on Intel Mac.

Notes

The local plugin files appear valid; this seems more likely to be an Intel Desktop plugin page compatibility issue or an installer architecture issue.
