Native Computer Use unavailable on macOS; documented plugin and “Any App” control missing

I’m using the desktop app’s Codex mode on macOS. I want Codex to work in my already-open native Microsoft Teams and Outlook apps, but native app control is unavailable.

Observed September 14, 2026:

• Settings → Computer use shows Google Chrome and Microsoft Excel enabled, Locked use disabled, and “Always-allowed apps: None yet.”
• The documented “Any App” control is absent.
• Searching Plugins for “computer use” does not show the official Computer Use plugin. The visible results are Vera and Grok Bot Control.
• Repeated checks in the task return an empty native-app list.
• The computer-use runtime reports typeof cua.getApp === "undefined" and typeof cua.listApps === "undefined".
• A direct native Teams access attempt previously returned cua.getApp is not a function.

Documentation mismatch:

https://learn.chatgpt.com/docs/computer-use describes installing/enabling Plugins → Computer Use, enabling its server and skill, and reviewing native app access in Settings → Computer use. Those controls are not available in my interface.

Impact:

Codex cannot inspect a Teams meeting transcript, check Outlook stakeholder availability, or prepare an unsent scheduling poll using my native apps. The assistant repeatedly directed me to unavailable controls before recognizing the mismatch.

Requested resolution:

Please determine

Start by comparing the macOS desktop app's Settings → Computer use and Plugins → Computer Use surfaces with the linked computer-use documentation. Reproduce the empty native-app list and the reported typeof cua.getApp/listApps results; done means establishing whether the documented plugin and “Any App” controls are expected to be available and identifying the mismatch.
