What I found:
A 2026-10-09 retest with a differently named secret environment variable (OP3NA1_API_KEY) still showed Responses failing, indicating the failure is not tied solely to the OPENAI_API_KEY name.
A commenter states the failure likely occurs in the proxy where the secret is not replaced for /v1/responses; retrieved thread text does not include OpenAI maintainer confirmation of that root cause.

Still unknown:
Whether OpenAI classifies missing /v1/responses secret injection as a defect or an unsupported path.
Useful next check:
Whether OpenAI classifies missing /v1/responses secret injection as a defect or an unsupported path.
