What version of the Codex App are you using?
Codex Desktop Windows Store app 26.519.5221.0.
What platform is your computer?
Windows 11 with WSL-backed Codex Desktop sessions/workspaces.
What issue are you seeing?
In a Windows Store Desktop session backed by WSL, the Desktop bundled-plugin reconciliation path repeatedly tried to access the Chrome bundled plugin cache using an invalid mixed path:
C:\mnt\c\Users\<user>\.codex\plugins\cache\openai-bundled\chrome\26.519.41501
That path is neither a valid Windows path (C:\Users\...) nor a valid WSL path (/mnt/c/Users/...). The same log line included WSL-looking marketplace roots and platformFamily=unix:
bundled_plugins_marketplace_install_failed
bundledPluginSourcePath=./plugins/chrome
errorCode=ENOENT
errorMessage="ENOENT: no such file or directory, access 'C:\\mnt\\c\\Users\\<user>\\.codex\\plugins\\cache\\openai-bundled\\chrome\\26.519.41501'"
installedPluginStatus=current
installPhase=reconcile_chrome_native_host
marketplaceRoot=/mnt/c/Users/<user>/.codex/.tmp/bundled-marketplaces/openai-bundled
platformFamily=unix
pluginName=chrome
In the same Desktop log, bundled_plugins_marketplace_install_failed occurred 150 times, usually on focus/startup-style reconcile paths. The log also showed:
bundled_plugin_chrome_extension_sync_decision ... installedPluginStatus=current isExtensionInstalled=true isPluginInstalled=true ... pluginName=chrome
bundled_plugin_install_skipped_current pluginName=chrome
bundled_plugins_reconcile_failed errorCode=ENOENT ... C:\mnt\c\Users\<user>\.codex\plugins\cache\openai-bundled\chrome\26.519.41501
Expected behavior
When Desktop is operating against a WSL-backed Codex home/workspace, bundled plugin cache paths should be resolved consistently:
- Windows/native Desktop file access should use a real Windows path such as
%USERPROFILE%\.codex\plugins\cache\....
- WSL-side operations should use
/mnt/c/Users/<user>/.codex/plugins/cache/....
- The app should not synthesize
C:\mnt\c\....
Why this matters
This produces repeated background reconcile failures and warning spam in normal Desktop operation. It may also contribute noise or delay during thread startup/resume, plugin listing, and focus-driven reconciliation. In my repro session, the failure repeated during investigation of separate turn-stall and renderer-reload issues, so I am filing it separately rather than claiming it is the root cause of those issues.
Possibly related but not exact duplicates: existing bundled Chrome/plugin cache issues such as #21936, #22035, and #22114. This issue is specifically about Windows+WSL path translation producing C:\mnt\c\... during Desktop bundled-plugin reconciliation.
