perf: openai-curated marketplace scan appears to enumerate a very large not-installed catalog every turn

Summary
codex plugin marketplace list appears to enumerate the full openai-curated catalog on every run, including more than 150 not installed plugins. This creates unnecessary scanning and log noise during startup and diagnostics.
Reproduction
- Run
codex plugin marketplace list - Observe that
openai-curatedis included alongsideopenai-primary-runtimeandopenai-bundled - Run
codex plugin list - Only 7 plugins are actually installed/enabled in this environment:
documents@openai-primary-runtimepdf@openai-primary-runtimespreadsheets@openai-primary-runtimepresentations@openai-primary-runtimetemplate-creator@openai-primary-runtimebrowser@openai-bundledsites@openai-bundled- The
openai-curatedmarketplace still expands into a large list ofnot installedentries, includingngs-analysis@openai-curated
Related diagnostic warning
codex doctor also reports an update-check mismatch:
- running package root:
<codex-install>/npm-openai-codex/0.142.5/node_modules/@openai/codex - npm package root:
<node-install>/node_modules/@openai/codex
npm config get prefix -g returns <node-install>.
Impact
- The curated catalog is scanned even though the environment only uses a small installed subset.
- There is no obvious safe
~/.codex/config.tomlkey to disableopenai-curatedas a source. - The repeated catalog expansion seems unrelated to the few installed plugins and looks like avoidable work.
Environment
- Codex CLI
0.142.5 - Windows 11 / PowerShell 7 /
mise-managed npm install npm:@openai/codexinstalled undermise
