}What issue are you seeing?
per session guidance, this is a task-level capability-loading bug, not a workspace problem.
I [ChatGPT] verified:
- The bundled Presentations skill is installed.
- The desktop app is version 26.814.5167.0.
- App logs show workspace_dependencies enabled.
- This task nevertheless lacks load_workspace_dependencies.
What steps can reproduce the bug?
Uploaded thread: 01a015ad-f04e-7ca1-8228-1abc084c57c4
What is the expected behavior?
load_workspace_dependencies is available

Additional Windows Desktop reproduction — 2026-08-20
This remains reproducible after updating and repairing the Windows desktop app.
Environment
10.0.26200, x6426.818.2441.026.819.11345Observed tool registration
load_workspace_dependenciesis absent.load_workspace_dependenciesis also absent.mcp__node_repl__jsandmcp__node_repl__js_add_node_module_dirare present in both contexts.node_modulespath required for@oai/artifact-tool.Recovery attempts
The result did not change. No guessed dependency paths, global packages, alternate spreadsheet libraries, or workbook data were used in the reproduction.
Expected: the installed Spreadsheets capability registers
load_workspace_dependenciesand returns the approved runtime paths.Actual: the skill and Node tools load, but the required dependency-loader tool is not contributed to the callable registry.
我在另一个 Windows 会话中复现了同一缺陷。
环境
26.819.11345最小复现
load_workspace_dependencies，不创建文件。SKILL.md可以完整加载，并明确要求通过load_workspace_dependencies获取@oai/artifact-tool的受支持依赖路径。load_workspace_dependencies；对工具名的精确查询返回空列表。await tools.load_workspace_dependencies({})失败，错误为：期望结果
选择并加载 Spreadsheets Skill 后，会话应暴露
load_workspace_dependencies，并返回受支持的可执行文件及node_modules路径。影响
Skill 合同禁止猜测依赖路径或改用替代工作簿库，因此
@oai/artifact-tool工作流被完全阻塞。本次复现未创建或修改任何文件。macOS / Presentations reproduction on Codex CLI 0.149.1
I can reproduce the same missing-loader failure on the current standalone CLI, with the Presentations plugin rather than Spreadsheets.

load_workspace_dependenciesabsent.0.149.0to0.149.1did not change the result.RUNTIME_NODE,RUNTIME_NODE_MODULES, andRUNTIME_BIN_DIRbefore@oai/artifact-toolauthoring or rendering can begin.Expected
When the Presentations plugin is installed/enabled and
workspace_dependencies=true, a new CLI session should registerload_workspace_dependenciesand return all three approved runtime paths.Impact / isolation
PPTX creation and QA are completely blocked without violating the skill's supported-runtime contract. No dependency paths were guessed, no alternative runtime or package was installed, and no presentation source file was read during the reproduction. The test daemon was stopped after validation.
This adds a current macOS + Presentations + CLI 0.149.1 reproduction to the Windows/App reports already on this issue.
