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

What I found: A 2026-10-09 comment 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. A commenter states the failure likely occurs in the proxy where the secret is not replaced for /v1/responses; the retrieved thread does not include OpenAI maintainer confirmation of that mechanism. Evidence: https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/51081#issuecomment-6062207652 · https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/51081#issuecomment-6077925467 Still unknown: Which internal Codex Cloud proxy rule (path allowlist, host matcher, or injection hook) skips substitution for /v1/responses. Useful next check: Which internal Codex Cloud proxy rule (path allowlist, host matcher, or injection hook) skips substitution for /v1/responses.
