What feature would you like to see?

Please provide a documented submission/review path for community Codex plugins to be considered for the OpenAI curated marketplace, and consider the iPhone Simulator Control plugin for review.

The plugin controls running Apple iPhone Simulator sessions and guides repeatable app-screen QA. It supports simulator lifecycle, app launch, deep links, screenshots, recordings, light/dark appearance checks, explicit privacy permissions, and optional IDB-backed tap/swipe/text/accessibility inspection.
