Subject: Urgent — Codex Browser control stopped working and is blocking my GoHighLevel project

Hello OpenAI Support,

I’m experiencing a persistent problem with Browser control in the Codex desktop app on Windows.

Browser control worked correctly on 18 August 2026. Codex was able to inspect and interact with my logged-in GoHighLevel account through the in-app browser.

Since 19 August 2026, Browser control has failed every time. The in-app browser still opens normally, GoHighLevel loads correctly, and I remain logged into the correct account. However, Codex cannot inspect, click, type, save, or otherwise interact with the page.

The exact error reported by Codex is:

Trusted RPC dependency must resolve within a configured trusted code path: file:///C:/Users/steve/.codex/plugins/cache/openai-bundled/browser/26.814.41407/scripts/browser-service.mjs

The affected Browser plugin version appears to be:

26.814.41407

I have already tried the following:

  • Restarted the Codex desktop app.
  • Restarted my Windows PC.
  • Reopened the in-app browser.
  • Confirmed that GoHighLevel loads successfully.
  • Confirmed that I am logged into the correct GoHighLevel account.
  • Retested Browser control repeatedly across multiple days.

The same trusted-code-path error continues to occur.

This appears to be an internal Browser plugin packaging or trusted-path configuration problem rather than a GoHighLevel login problem. It is blocking the completion and launch of a live business sales funnel.

Please escalate this to the Codex desktop or Browser-control technical team and advise:

  1. Whether this is a known issue.
  2. Whether there is a workaround.
  3. Whether the Browser plugin can be repaired or updated.
  4. When I can expect Browser control to work again.

Please let me know if you need logs, screenshots, my Codex app version, or any other diagnostic information.

Thank you,

Research direction

Start by reproducing the Windows failure in the Codex desktop app and inspect the affected browser plugin entry point at .codex/plugins/cache/openai-bundled/browser/26.814.41407/scripts/browser-service.mjs, focusing on the trusted RPC path error. Done means Browser control can inspect and interact with the loaded GoHighLevel page again without the trusted-code-path failure.
