What steps can reproduce the bug?

1. Open Codex desktop on macOS.

1. In a Codex thread, call list_available_plugins_to_install and confirm that computer-use@openai-bundled appears as an installable plugin.

1. Call request_plugin_install with:

• action_type: install
• tool_id: computer-use@openai-bundled
• tool_type: plugin

1. Observe that the install may intermittently return completed=false/user_confirmed=false.

1. Retry the install. In my case, it eventually returned completed=true/user_confirmed=true.

1. Immediately after the successful install, verify that:

• ~/.codex/config.toml contains [plugins."computer-use@openai-bundled"]
• ~/.codex/plugins/cache/openai-bundled/computer-use/1.0.799 exists

1. Restart Codex desktop or open a fresh thread.

1. Observe that Computer Use tools are not exposed to the model.

1. Re-check local state and observe that:

• ~/.codex/config.toml no longer contains [plugins."computer-use@openai-bundled"]
• ~/.codex/plugins/cache/openai-bundled/computer-use no longer exists

What is the expected behavior?
