Description
Windows Codex desktop Browser/Chrome bundled plugin regression.
Codex app: 26.825.4187.0
Bundled Browser/Chrome plugin: 26.721.41059
Browser initialization fails with:
Importing module "node:process" is not allowed in node_repl
Chrome plugin source exists in:
%USERPROFILE%.codex.tmp\bundled-marketplaces\openai-bundled\plugins\chrome
But Chrome is not registered as an available capability and its formal cache is missing.
Computer Use also reports:
Windows Computer Use Sky runtime is unavailable.
Restart and repair did not resolve the issue.
Browser access worked previously.

Research direction
Start by inspecting the bundled plugin at %USERPROFILE%.codex.tmp\bundled-marketplaces\openai-bundled\plugins\chrome and tracing the Windows initialization path that reports the node_repl import error. Compare the bundled source with the missing formal cache and capability registration, then check how the Computer Use Sky runtime availability is reported. Done should include successful Chrome initialization and a clear determination of whether the Computer Use failure is part of the same regression.
