Casey Chow 3075061bdd feat(plugins): tabulate plugin list output (#23727)
## Summary
- render `codex plugin list` as one table per marketplace with the
marketplace manifest path shown above each table
- surface the installed plugin version in the CLI output by threading
`installed_version` through marketplace listing state
- narrow the system-root exemption so only known bundled/runtime
marketplaces skip missing-manifest failures, and keep `VERSION` empty
for cached-but-unconfigured plugins

## Rationale
The plugin list UX was hard to scan as a flat list and did not show
which installed version was active. This change makes the CLI output
easier to read in the real multi-marketplace case, keeps the plugin path
visible, fixes the Sapphire regression where bundled/runtime marketplace
roots were blocking `plugin list`, and addresses the two review findings
that came out of the follow-up deep review.

## Key Decisions
- kept the CLI output grouped per marketplace instead of one global
table so the marketplace path can live with the rows it owns
- kept `VERSION` as the installed version, which means it is empty until
a plugin is actually installed
- handled the bundled/runtime regression in the CLI snapshot validation
path rather than widening app-server protocol or changing marketplace
loading behavior
- narrowed the exemption to known system marketplace names plus expected
system paths, so user-configured marketplaces under those directories
still fail loudly
- gated `installed_version` on actual installed state so `VERSION`
cannot show stale cache state for `not installed` rows

## Validation
- `just fmt`
- Sapphire: `cargo test -p codex-cli --test plugin_cli` (`14 passed; 0
failed`)
- Sapphire smoke test: bundled/runtime roots still work
  - `cargo run -q -p codex-cli -- plugin add sample@debug`
  - `cargo run -q -p codex-cli -- plugin list`
- verified the bundled/runtime-root scenario no longer errors and shows
the expected marketplace table output
- Sapphire smoke test: custom marketplace under bundled path still
errors
- verified `failed to load configured marketplace snapshot(s)` for
`custom-marketplace`
- Sapphire smoke test: cached-but-unconfigured plugin hides version
- verified `sample@debug not installed` renders with an empty `VERSION`
column

## Sample Output
```text
/tmp/custom-marketplace/plugin.json
NAME          VERSION  STATUS         DESCRIPTION
sample@debug  1.0.0    enabled        Debug sample plugin
other@local            not installed  Local development plugin

npm i -g @openai/codex
or brew install --cask codex

Codex CLI is a coding agent from OpenAI that runs locally on your computer.

Codex CLI splash


If you want Codex in your code editor (VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf), install in your IDE.
If you want the desktop app experience, run codex app or visit the Codex App page.
If you are looking for the cloud-based agent from OpenAI, Codex Web, go to chatgpt.com/codex.


Quickstart

Installing and running Codex CLI

Install globally with your preferred package manager:

# Install using npm
npm install -g @openai/codex
# Install using Homebrew
brew install --cask codex

Then simply run codex to get started.

You can also go to the latest GitHub Release and download the appropriate binary for your platform.

Each GitHub Release contains many executables, but in practice, you likely want one of these:

  • macOS
    • Apple Silicon/arm64: codex-aarch64-apple-darwin.tar.gz
    • x86_64 (older Mac hardware): codex-x86_64-apple-darwin.tar.gz
  • Linux
    • x86_64: codex-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz
    • arm64: codex-aarch64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz

Each archive contains a single entry with the platform baked into the name (e.g., codex-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl), so you likely want to rename it to codex after extracting it.
