Before submitting

  • I searched existing issues and did not find a duplicate.
  • I included enough detail to reproduce or investigate the problem.

Area

apps/desktop

Steps to reproduce

  1. Install Codex CLI with npm, login.
  2. Install T3 Code.
  3. Restart because you're are on a shitty OS.
  4. Can't run anything:

Node is installed raw, meaning I didn't use any node manager like nvm. I checked the user and system PATH and node binary path is here on both. Reinstalled T3 Code and restarted a zillion times.

Expected behavior

T3 Code should be able to find my node version? node is running fine everywhere I tested (PowerShell and cmd).

Actual behavior

Either it's node or codex that are not recognized, pick your poison. I guess it has to be with how the env vars are loaded. I can run node and codex CLI fine in my terminal though.
