In plain words
What is it for?
It helps reproduce widget failures, verify that the interface really loaded, inspect session and render evidence, and recover from transport or installation issues.
Why use it?
It helps identify which part of the widget system failed instead of treating every problem as a generic connection error.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

canvasight-troubleshooting scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Canvasight Troubleshooting

Use this skill for Canvasight runtime, install, native readiness, and recovery problems.

Checklist

  1. Reproduce the normal path with the current CODEX_THREAD_ID: call open_canvasight, capture sessionId and openAttemptId, then call await_canvasight_widget_ready with both values and the same threadId.
  2. Treat only verified fullscreen readiness with all render evidence true as success. Otherwise record attempt/session/instance identity, display mode, stage, render evidence, error, and timestamp before changing anything.
  3. Classify the failing layer: tool discovery/live MCP transport, session/task binding, widget bootstrap/React mount, initial session API, host bridge/Run delivery, browser fallback, daemon, installed cache, or .scatter data.
  4. If required tools are missing, call tool_search for canvasight open_canvasight await_canvasight_widget_ready render_canvasight_canvas_widget before declaring them unavailable.
  5. If a callable Canvasight tool returns Transport closed, report canvasight_mcp_transport_closed and inspect mcp-lifecycle.log when available. If the plugin version changed while Codex Desktop was running, reload/restart the host before creating and tagging a new task; a new task alone can retain the old app-level registry. Do not substitute browser fallback.
  6. If the result reports a missing or mismatched task id, reopen with the active task's exact CODEX_THREAD_ID.
  7. Verify the installed source and version with codex plugin list when behavior is stale. When an install or upgrade changes the resolved version, reload/restart the Codex host, then create a new task and tag the plugin again; creating a task alone is not a sufficient refresh guarantee.
  8. Use browser fallback only to isolate browser/daemon behavior. It cannot verify native readiness or native Run delivery.
  9. Run the narrowest relevant automated checks, then perform the real native-host acceptance gate. Automated checks remain supporting evidence.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
