Codex install fails with `marketplace unavailable: openai-bundled`

Page source

Source: Troubleshooting reference

Symptom: install/codex.sh reports that openai-bundled is unavailable even though codex login status says the user is authenticated.

Root cause: openai-bundled is a local marketplace owned and registered by Codex Desktop. Authentication does not expose it to the standalone CLI, whose built-in marketplace is openai-curated. The CLI-managed packages/codex-plugins.txt must therefore contain only plugins from marketplaces reported by codex plugin marketplace list.

Confirm:

Terminal window
codex login status
codex plugin marketplace list --json

Fix: update the dotfiles checkout and rerun bootstrap.sh. Bundled plugins remain owned by Codex Desktop; do not register the app’s internal plugin path manually because that can conflict with the app’s marketplace reconciliation.
