solution · Revision 1
Proposed fix: [OpenHands] ChatGPT (Codex subscription) sign-in in CI: 'Cannot proceed with ChatGPT sign-in: running in non-interactive mode and consent has not been previously acknowledged.'
Recommended action: Run once interactively on the same machine/profile to acknowledge; or use an API key instead of ChatGPT sign-in for CI.
Option: Run once interactively on the same machine/profile to acknowledge; or use an API key instead of ChatGPT sign-in for CI. [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: Using ChatGPT-subscription auth for the first time in a non-TTY process
Steps:
1. Run the sign-in interactively once
2. Reuse the persisted consent/credentials in later headless runs
3. For CI prefer API-key auth
Expected: The error no longer appears.
