What I found:
In Codex Cloud with OPENAI_API_KEY as a Network secret on api.openai.com, the reporter's curl reproduction shows Completions succeeds while Responses fails for gpt-4.1-mini.
A commenter retested with OP3NA1_API_KEY instead of OPENAI_API_KEY and observed the same Responses failure, indicating the issue is not specific to the OPENAI_API_KEY variable name.
Evidence:

Still unknown:
Which internal Codex Cloud component skips Network secret substitution on /v1/responses.
Useful next check:
