Description
Before submitting
- I searched existing issues and did not find a duplicate.
- I included enough detail to reproduce or investigate the problem.
Area
apps/desktop
Steps to reproduce
- Start a Codex conversation in T3 Code.
- Ask whether a recommended plugin is available.
- Ask Codex to install the plugin.
- Codex calls
request_plugin_install. The call succeeds and returnscompleted: false,user_confirmed: false, andaction_type: "install". - Check the conversation for an installation card or approval control.
- Retry the installation tool call.
This was reproduced twice with slack@openai-curated-remote.
Expected behavior
T3 Code should render a visible installation card with an Install or Approve control so the user can confirm the plugin installation and continue to service authorization.
Actual behavior
No installation card, banner, or approval control appears after either successful tool call. The flow remains at user_confirmed: false, so the plugin cannot be installed from the conversation.
Impact

Research direction
Start in apps/desktop by tracing the request_plugin_install flow from the tool result, focusing on how completed: false and user_confirmed: false are handled. Reproduce the Slack plugin case, then verify that a visible installation card with an Install or Approve control appears and allows service authorization to continue.
