Summary
Locked Computer Use cannot be enabled on my Intel Mac.
Computer Use itself works correctly:
- Chrome extension connects successfully.
- Browser automation works normally.
However, the "Locked Computer Use" toggle remains permanently disabled (greyed out). There is no option to install the required SecurityAgent Plugin.
Environment
- Codex Desktop 26.623.42026
- macOS 26.5.1 (25F80)
- Intel Core i7 (x86_64)
Investigation
I checked several things:
1. SecurityAgentPlugins directory
Could you please confirm whether Locked Computer Use is currently supported on Intel Macs, or whether this is a bug in the current release?
What steps can reproduce the bug?
- Install the latest Codex Desktop on an Intel Mac (x86_64).
- Grant all requested permissions (Accessibility and Screen Recording).
- Enable Computer Use.
- Connect the Chrome extension successfully.
- Open Settings → Computer Use.
- Observe that "Locked Computer Use" remains disabled (greyed out) with no option to install the SecurityAgent Plugin.
What is the expected behavior?
