Description
Chrome control is read-only. The extension setup page and tab reading work, but clicking, typing, and navigation fail with: “Codex Chrome native host is out of date.”
Chrome plugin is enabled. Its Uninstall action fails; disabling and re-enabling does not repair it. The extension-host process runs, but the Windows native-messaging registration is missing/stale.
Desktop build: 26.818.5229.0
Task ID: 01a02e26-32fc-7e63-b691-6d0c43a92df2
Please repair the Chrome native-host registration/update path and the failed plugin-uninstall behavior.
The /feedback uploader also fails repeatedly with “feedback upload failed,” both with current-session logs and browser logs selected.

Research direction
Start by tracing the Windows Chrome native-messaging registration/update path and the plugin's Uninstall action, then inspect the /feedback uploader path. Reproduce the stale native-host and feedback-upload failures on the stated desktop build; done means native-host registration updates correctly, uninstall succeeds, and both log-selection upload modes work.
