Research direction

Start by reproducing the Windows failure using feedback ID 01a0152c-ecc5-7f31-aa09-d655c28d7815 and inspect the bundled browser plugin at .codex/plugins/cache/openai-bundled/browser/26.814.41407/scripts/browser-service.mjs. Trace the trusted RPC dependency resolution during Chrome attachment. Done means Chrome control attaches successfully after the app, extension, reboot, and bundled-plugin-cache reset scenarios described.
