Description
I used the command:
npx @larksuite/cli@latest install
but in ChatGPT(Codex) APP, it says cannot find lark-cli.
lark-cli installs and runs fine in a normal PowerShell/cmd, but is not found in restricted/sandboxed shells such as
the OpenAI Codex desktop app on Windows. The root cause: the npm global bin directory (%APPDATA%\npm) is added to the
user-level Path only, while sandboxed shells inherit only the machine-level Path. Node itself works in Codex because
C:\Program Files\nodejs\ is on the machine PATH; lark-cli does not, because its install dir is user-scoped.
This makes the CLI effectively unusable from these shells, with no hint about why.
Environment
- OS: Windows 11 Enterprise, build 10.0.26200
- Package: @larksuite/cli 1.0.93
- Node: v24.18.0 · npm: 11.16.0 (global prefix C:\Users...\AppData\Roaming\npm)
- Install: npm install -g @larksuite/cli → shims installed to C:\Users...\AppData\Roaming\npm\lark-cli.cmd /
.ps1 - Repro environment: OpenAI Codex desktop app (sandboxed shell)

Research direction
Start by reproducing npx @larksuite/cli@latest install on Windows, then compare the user-level npm bin path with the environment inherited by the Codex sandbox. The issue names no source file or test, so trace the Windows installation and CLI entry points first. Done means the installed lark-cli is discoverable there, or the installation clearly explains the PATH limitation.
