Codex doctor report

What issue are you seeing?

Browser Use blocks a benign, read-only request to summarize a WeChat Official Account article in the user's already signed-in Chrome tab.

The Chrome extension is connected and can list the tab and its title, but claiming the tab or reading its DOM fails with:

Browser Use rejected this action due to browser security policy.
Reason: Browser use is not permitted on https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/TU8zYlg9KkrnGyEBhmhZqA

No form submission, upload, purchase, credential access, or other side effect was requested. The task was only to read and summarize a photography-event article.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Uploaded thread: 019f7854-e08a-7151-8758-9037d06c5b57

What is the expected behavior?

Codex should honor the explicit per-site Browse permission and allow read-only inspection of the rendered article, or present a user-overridable confirmation when the request is benign.

Additional information

The same user previously used ChatGPT to summarize another mp.weixin.qq.com article successfully, so this appears inconsistent or regressed. Local diagnostics show the Chrome plugin, Browser Use, authentication, configuration, and network reachability are healthy. Logs and diagnostics were uploaded through /feedback for thread 019f7854-e08a-7151-8758-9037d06c5b57.
