Research direction
Start by reproducing the fresh-task behavior with the listed Codex Desktop, computer-use runtime, backend, and allowed-application settings. Trace how the native CUA pipe enumerates and selects windows; done means applications other than chrome.exe are listed and usable when “Computer use for any app” is enabled.
