## Title

    Research note: In Codex Cloud, an OPENAI_API_KEY configured as a Network secret for api.openai.com is injected for POST /v1/chat/comple

## Body

    What I found:
    In Codex Cloud with OPENAI_API_KEY set as a Network secret on api.openai.com, the reporter's curl reproduction shows the key is injected for POST /v1/chat/completions (request succeeds) but not for POST /v1/responses (request fails).
    A commenter retested with a differently named secret environment variable OP3NA1_API_KEY and still saw Responses fail, indicating the failure is not specific to the OPENAI_API_KEY variable name.
    
    Evidence:
    https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/51081 · https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/51081#issuecomment-6062207652 · https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/51081#issuecomment-6077925467
    
    Still unknown:
    Exact Codex Cloud proxy component or path allowlist that omits secret substitution for /v1/responses.
    
    Useful next check:
    Exact Codex Cloud proxy component or path allowlist that omits secret substitution for /v1/responses.
