Computer Use missing from macOS Intel Codex app 26.616.71553

Summary

Computer Use / Record & Replay is unavailable after a clean reinstall of the Codex macOS Intel build. The app logs show that the managed Computer Use service fails to spawn, and the expected Computer Use helper bundle appears to be absent from the installed app bundle.

Environment

• Codex app version: 26.616.71553
• Codex bundle version: 4265
• macOS: 14.7.7
• Architecture: Intel x86_64
• Region: Australia
• Install path: /Applications/Codex.app

What I expected

Computer Use should be available in Codex settings, and Record & Replay should be available as described in the docs once Computer Use is enabled.

What happened

Computer Use does not appear in the app UI / plugins, even after a clean reinstall.

Today’s logs include:

Failed to reconcile managed Computer Use service appshotsEnabled=true errorMessage="Failed to spawn managed Computer Use service" nodeReplEnabled=false

The installed app bundle does not appear to contain the expected helper bundle:

/Applications/Codex.app/Contents/Resources/Codex Computer Use.app

The bundled plugin marketplace written by the app contains only:

browser
chrome
latex

Steps already tried

1. Quit Codex completely.
2. Removed the old Codex app from /Applications.
3. Deleted old Codex installer downloads.
4. Downloaded and installed the latest macOS Intel/x64 Codex build.
5. Opened Codex from /Applications/Codex.app.
6. Checked again for Computer Use / Record & Replay.

The issue persists after reinstall.

Additional note

This looks like a packaging, rollout, or feature-gating issue for the Intel/x64 macOS build rather than a macOS permissions problem, because the Computer Use service payload appears to be missing from the app bundle.
