}What issue are you seeing?
在使用 Codex CLI 时，Chrome 插件的后端无法注册。即使 Chrome 扩展已安装并显示 Connected、Native Messaging Host manifest 检查 correct，但运行时始终无法发现 extension backend：agent.browsers.list() 返回 []
agent.browsers.get("extension") 返回 Browser is not available: extension
What steps can reproduce the bug?
Uploaded thread: 019f4108-ec37-7353-9a6f-17fc8e960b29
What is the expected behavior?
应该能正常注册 Chrome extension backend，让 @Chrome 相关指令可以使用真实 Chrome 浏览器（已登录状态）。
Additional information
已尝试彻底清理：删除 ~/.codex 整个目录后重新安装 Codex CLI，仍无法解决。
多次重启系统、重新添加 Chrome 插件、手动执行 setupBrowserRuntime 等操作均无效。
Chrome 版本：149.0.7827.201（Default Profile）
