Closed

Description

@AdiRishi

What version of the Codex App are you using (From “About Codex” dialog)?

Version 26.513.20950 (2816)

What subscription do you have?

Pro

What platform is your computer?

Darwin 25.4.0 arm64 arm

What issue are you seeing?

Trying to open a new chat session and typing @ just continuously shows a loading spinner

What steps can reproduce the bug?

I am unsure if this is related to me enabling "Codex mobile" or not, but I do have that setup.

  1. Open the app
  2. Type @ and see the perpetual loading, Plugins are not loaded at all

It is worth noting that when we type $ the skills show up correctly

What is the expected behavior?

Plugins should load and display when you try to mention them

    same problem. chatgpt just told me that the new verison of codex used a dependency which is only avaliable on macos26:

    `macOS 15.7.3 (24G419)
    Codex Desktop updated on 2026-05-15
    computer-use@openai-bundled 1.0.791
    SkyComputerUseClient fails to launch:

    dyld: Symbol not found: _swift_task_addPriorityEscalationHandler
    Expected in: /usr/lib/swift/libswift_Concurrency.dylib

    Binary metadata:
    DTSDKName = macosx26.4
    DTXcode = 2641
    LSMinimumSystemVersion = 15.0`

    also look at this issue

    Adding another reproduction detail for the same regression.

    Observed behavior:

    • In the Codex Desktop composer, typing @ opens the mention picker.
    • The picker shows the Plugins section as Loading plugins... and never populates plugin suggestions.
    • This blocks invoking plugins through the normal @ mention flow.
    • The plugins are not completely unavailable: they can still be reached through the + icon below the composer by choosing Plugins and scrolling the list.

    So this looks specifically like the @ mention/autocomplete plugin-loading path hanging, not a general inability to access installed plugins from the UI.

    Screenshot evidence from the repro shows the picker stuck at:

    Agents
    Impeccable Asset Producer ...
    Plugins
    Loading plugins...
    Files
    Type to search for files
    

    while the composer contains only @.
