## Title

    [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.'

## Body

    Cause (Documented platform behavior): The first ChatGPT sign-in requires interactive consent; later non-interactive runs reuse the recorded consent.
    
    Fix status: documented_behavior
    
    Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):
