Bug 1: Config.toml had to be added manually
Bug 2: "Could not load this plugin right now" when trying to install computer-use from Codex marketplace
When I try to install the computer-use plugin through the Codex Desktop UI (the actual OpenAI plugin, not the tweak), it fails with the error: "Could not load this plugin right now." (it already exists in the /Applications/Codex.app/Contents/Resources/plugins/openai-bundled/plugins/computer-use/assets btw)
The bundled assets are present and valid:

The marketplace.json has already been fixed by doctor.sh (it removed a stale temp copy and re-added the app-bundled one). The openai-bundled marketplace in config.toml correctly points to /Applications/Codex.app/Contents/Resources/plugins/openai-bundled. Yet installing from the Codex UI still fails.
The region (EEA) may play a role — this tweak is specifically designed to work around the EEA/UK/CH restriction. But the actual Codex plugin installation itself also errors out, which suggests either:
- Codex Desktop is blocking installation at the UI/API level based on region detection, or
- The binary fails some integrity or signing check, or
- macOS permissions (Accessibility / Screen Recording) have not yet been granted for
SkyComputerUseClient.
Steps to Reproduce
- Follow the README install steps exactly.
- Run
./doctor.sh — succeeds with no errors.
- Fully quit and reopen Codex Desktop.
- Open Settings → Tweaks → Computer Use Setup → click "Refresh checks" → click "Repair setup".
- Check
~/.codex/config.toml — had to add the config.toml patch manually
- Try to install the
computer-use plugin from the in-app marketplace.
- Observe "Could not load this plugin right now" error.
Expected
- The computer-use plugin should install or at least give a specific error message explaining why it cannot.
