Bug: Black overlay blocks Codex Plugins/Skills screen
Description
When opening the Codex plugins/skills screen, a large black overlay appears in the center/left side of the interface. This overlay blocks the content and makes the page unusable.
What happens
- The search bar is visible.
- Part of the plugin/skills list is visible on the right side.
- A large black rectangle covers the main content area.
- The overlay cannot be closed or removed.
- The issue happens specifically on the Plugins/Skills screen.
Expected behavior
The plugins/skills screen should load normally without a black overlay blocking the interface.
Screenshots
Attached screenshots show the issue clearly.
Environment
- Device: Mac
- App: Codex desktop app
- Theme: Dark mode
- Issue persists after restarting the laptop and reinstalling the app.
Impact
I cannot use or configure plugins/skills because the interface is blocked.
