What issue are you seeing?

Chrome browser integration previously worked in an ongoing Codex conversation inside the ChatGPT desktop app. After a browser tool timeout, subsequent connection attempts began failing.
Chrome is enabled under Settings → Computer Use, but Chrome does not appear in the @ menu in new chats.

The assistant's browser-tool startup returns: Importing module "node:process" is not allowed in node_repl

Start by reproducing the browser integration failure in the ChatGPT desktop app using the uploaded thread 01a0a593-23dc-7772-96d5-ccf21b39ea54 and the reported node_repl error. Trace the startup path that rejects node:process; done means Chrome appears in the @ menu and browser tools connect successfully.
