What issue are you seeing?

Codex Browser tool is not available in chat.

Codex says: “Browser still does not provide this chat with a control tool, so the test could not be run. The checkout is opened correctly, but clicks and form filling are unavailable. This is a confirmed Codex/Browser failure, not a localhost problem.”

What I expected:
Codex should be able to use Browser to click buttons, fill the checkout form, and run the browser test.

What happened:
The checkout page opens correctly, but Codex cannot control the browser: it cannot click or type into the form.

This blocks frontend/browser testing on localhost.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

@Browser open http://localhost:3000/checkout and test the order process.

What is the expected behavior?

Expected result:
Codex Browser should be able to control the opened browser: click buttons, fill form fields, and run the checkout test.

Actual result:
Codex cannot control the browser. It reports: “Browser still does not provide this chat with a control tool, so the test could not be run. The checkout is opened correctly, but clicks and form filling are unavailable.”

Code / reproduction project:
No specific code fragment is required to reproduce this on my side. The failure happens at the Codex/Browser tool level: the localhost checkout page opens correctly, but browser control actions are unavailable.
