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:

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.
