Summary
openai-curatedplugins when the remote plugin feature is enabled and auth uses the Codex backendopenai-api-curatedand non-Codex-backend behavior while including remote catalog activation in the plugin load cache keyWhy
The Codex app enables remote plugins through process-local runtime feature enablement, which can happen after app-server startup tasks have already observed legacy local plugin state. The existing conflict logic only preferred a remote plugin when the same plugin was already installed remotely, so a configured legacy-only plugin could continue exposing skills and other capabilities from
openai-curated.Impact
When the remote catalog is active, legacy
openai-curatedplugins no longer contribute skills, MCP servers, apps, or hooks. Remote installed plugins continue to load normally, andopenai-api-curatedremains unaffected. This does not change remote fetch, bundle sync, or uninstall behavior.Validation
