Description

Windows Computer Use plugin is repeatedly restored as version 26.611.62324 after clearing its cache and restarting Codex.

The plugin bootstrap consistently fails with:

Module not found:
@oai/sky/dist/project/cua/sky_js/src/targets/windows/internal/computer_use_client_base.js

Reproduction:

  1. Remove or rename:
    C:\Users\K.codex\plugins\cache\openai-bundled\computer-use\26.611.62324
  2. Restart Codex.
  3. Codex downloads the same version again.
  4. Calling Computer Use fails with the same missing-module error.

This appears to be a version mismatch between the server-distributed Computer Use plugin and the @oai/sky runtime bundled with the current Windows Codex desktop app.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the bootstrap failure after removing the cache directory at C:\Users\K.codex\plugins\cache\openai-bundled\computer-use\26.611.62324, then inspect the server-distributed Computer Use plugin and the @oai/sky runtime bundled with the Windows Codex desktop app. Done means restarting Codex no longer restores an incompatible plugin and calling Computer Use succeeds without the missing-module error.
