## Thinking Path > - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies > - The Codex adapter spawns the OpenAI Codex CLI to drive the model > - Codex CLI 0.122 changed how it reads credentials: it ignores `OPENAI_API_KEY` from the environment and reads only `$CODEX_HOME/auth.json` > - Without auth.json, Codex 0.122+ returns 401 "Missing bearer or basic authentication" on `/v1/responses` even when `OPENAI_API_KEY` is forwarded into the sandbox or remote shell > - This pull request materializes an apikey-mode `auth.json` in the managed Codex home (or per-run for the test probe) when an `OPENAI_API_KEY` is configured > - The benefit is configured Codex API keys authenticate correctly with current Codex CLI versions across local, SSH, and sandbox targets ## What Changed - `codex-home.ts`: add `writeApiKeyAuthJson()` and let `prepareManagedCodexHome` accept an `apiKey` override that replaces the symlinked host auth.json with an apikey-mode file - `execute.ts`: pass `envConfig.OPENAI_API_KEY` into `prepareManagedCodexHome` so the managed (and synced-to-remote) Codex home authenticates via the configured key - `test.ts`: when `OPENAI_API_KEY` is available, wrap the hello probe with a small shell that materializes a per-run `$CODEX_HOME/auth.json` before exec'ing codex; key content rides through env to avoid leaking into process listings - Update the `codex_hello_probe_auth_required` hint to explain Codex CLI does not read `OPENAI_API_KEY` from env ## Verification - `pnpm vitest run --no-coverage --project @paperclipai/adapter-codex-local` - `pnpm typecheck` clean - Manual: Codex 0.122.0 with empty `CODEX_HOME` returns 401 with env-only auth; with this change it authenticates cleanly ## Risks Low risk — when no API key is configured, behavior is unchanged (no auth.json written, existing chatgpt-mode flow preserved). Apikey-mode `auth.json` is the upstream-supported format. ## Model Used Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) ## Checklist - [x] I have included a thinking path that traces from project context to this change - [x] I have specified the model used (with version and capability details) - [x] I have checked ROADMAP.md and confirmed this PR does not duplicate planned core work - [x] I have run tests locally and they pass - [x] I have added or updated tests where applicable - [x] If this change affects the UI, I have included before/after screenshots — N/A (no UI) - [x] I have updated relevant documentation to reflect my changes - [x] I have considered and documented any risks above - [x] I will address all Greptile and reviewer comments before requesting merge
