What issue are you seeing?

I cannot load any official curated Codex plugins in either Codex CLI or the Codex desktop app.

Environment:

• Codex CLI: 0.134.0
• OS: Windows x64
• Auth: Logged in using ChatGPT
• Model: gpt-5.5
• Subscription: ChatGPT Plus
• Region/location: Vietnam

Observed behavior:

• In the Codex desktop app, the Plugins page shows “No plugins found”.
• In the Codex CLI TUI, /plugins shows no available marketplace plugins.
• codex plugin marketplace list returns:

No plugin marketplaces in scope.

• codex plugin list returns:

No marketplace plugins found.

• codex features list shows:

plugins stable true

• codex doctor --json shows auth is configured with ChatGPT tokens, config loads successfully, plugins are enabled, provider reachability is OK, WebSocket handshake succeeds, and the installation is consistent.
• Attempting to manually add the official marketplace fails because it is reserved:

codex plugin marketplace add https://github.com/openai/plugins
returns:
Error: marketplace 'openai-curated' is reserved and cannot be added from this source

I already tried reinstalling Codex CLI, but the issue remains.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Steps to reproduce:

1. Install and log in to Codex CLI using ChatGPT.
2. Confirm version:

codex --version
Output:
codex-cli 0.134.0

1. Confirm login:

codex login status
Output:
Logged in using ChatGPT

1. Confirm plugins feature is enabled:

codex features list
Output includes:
plugins stable true

1. Check marketplace discovery:

codex plugin marketplace list
Output:
No plugin marketplaces in scope.

1. Check available plugins:

codex plugin list
Output:
No marketplace plugins found.

1. Open Codex CLI TUI:

codex
Then run:
/plugins
Result: no marketplace plugins are available.

1. Open Codex desktop app and go to the Plugins page.

Result: the page shows “No plugins found”.

1. Try to manually add the official marketplace:

codex plugin marketplace add https://github.com/openai/plugins
Output:
Error: marketplace 'openai-curated' is reserved and cannot be added from this source

What is the expected behavior?

The official curated Codex plugin marketplace should load in both Codex CLI and the Codex desktop app.

I expect the Plugins page / /plugins browser to show official curated plugins, including Superpowers, and allow me to install them.

codex plugin marketplace list or codex plugin list should show the official curated marketplace/plugins, or the app should otherwise surface any entitlement, rollout, region, or service-side error explaining why no plugins are available.
