Description
What variant of Codex are you using?
IDE Extension
Which IDE are you using?
Cursor on Windows.
What issue are you seeing?
After updating the Codex/OpenAI IDE extension, invoking Codex: New Codex Agent fails immediately with this error dialog:
コマンド 'Codex: New Codex Agent' でエラーが発生しました
command 'chatgpt.newCodexPanel' not found
The command palette entry is present, but the contributed command itself is apparently not registered/available at runtime.
This worked before the update. The update was installed through the normal IDE extension update flow; no custom patching or unusual configuration was performed.
Steps to reproduce
- Use Cursor on Windows with the Codex/OpenAI IDE extension installed.
- Update the extension when the normal update prompt appears.
- Invoke
Codex: New Codex Agent. - Cursor shows:
command 'chatgpt.newCodexPanel' not found.
Expected behavior
Codex: New Codex Agent should open a new Codex Agent panel in Cursor.
Actual behavior
The command fails before opening the panel because chatgpt.newCodexPanel is not found.
Environment
- OS: Windows
- IDE: Cursor
- Codex/OpenAI IDE extension: updated immediately before the regression
- Exact extension version: UNKNOWN at the moment
- The workflow also uses Cursor Remote-SSH to a Mac mini, but this error is shown by the Windows Cursor UI before the Codex panel opens.
Why this matters
This is a regression caused by a normal extension update and completely blocks the New Codex Agent workflow. A user should not have to reinstall, downgrade, or manually repair the extension after accepting a standard update.
Please check whether the current Cursor/Windows extension package is failing to register chatgpt.newCodexPanel, or whether the command contribution changed without the UI command being updated.

Research direction
Start by reproducing Codex: New Codex Agent in Cursor on Windows after a normal extension update, then inspect where chatgpt.newCodexPanel is contributed and registered in the IDE extension package. Confirm whether the command is available at runtime and verify that invoking it opens a new Codex Agent panel without the error.
