Chrome/Computer Use extension is enabled, but the tool runtime never loads #48813

Description

@yimeng1468-cell

Windows 桌面版中,Google Chrome 浏览器扩展显示“已安装”,状态为绿色,Chrome 和“任意应用”控制开关均已开启。
但在聊天中调用 Computer Use 或 Chrome 时,代理始终检测不到所需的浏览器控制/Node REPL 运行时。已至少新建 4 个聊天,并多次完全重启应用,问题仍可稳定复现。
实际结果:会话中不存在 Chrome 控制接口,无法连接 Chrome。
预期结果:扩展启用后,新会话应加载 Chrome 控制运行时并成功连接。
请调查桌面应用的插件工具注入、扩展握手或会话能力加载失败问题。本会话中还出现了工具清单不包含 mcp__node_repl__js 的现象。

    English translation:

    In the Windows desktop app, the Google Chrome browser extension is shown as “Installed” with a green status, and the control toggles for both Chrome and “Any app” are enabled.
    However, when invoking Computer Use or Chrome in a chat, the agent consistently fails to detect the required browser control/Node REPL runtime. I have created at least 4 new chats and fully restarted the app multiple times, but the issue remains consistently reproducible.
    Actual result: No Chrome control interface is available in the session, making it impossible to connect to Chrome.
    Expected result: Once the extension is enabled, new sessions should load the Chrome control runtime and connect successfully.
    Please investigate failures in the desktop app's plugin tool injection, extension handshake, or session capability loading. In this session, mcp__node_repl__js was also missing from the tool list.
