WalkthroughCodex installation now uses persistent per-user OpenAI capability URLs. Relay validates and removes capability segments, then forwards normalized provider paths for responses, models, and image-generation requests. Installation, restoration, detection, tests, and documentation were updated. ChangesCodex capability routing
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The change improves Codex session identity, but the current implementation may still route some new sessions through the legacy provider selection, overwrite a user-managed URL during cleanup, and allow capability-bearing GET requests to reach unintended upstream endpoints. These bounded correctness and security risks should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging. Possibly related PRs

both mutating paths. Add a regression test covering changed header and

Require a verified capability before restoring the URL.
codex_openai_base_url_is_managed accepts a URL that matches an unverified token from model_providers.nemo-relay-openai. If a user changes both that header and openai_base_url after installation, this branch restores the backup and discards the user URL. The same predicate also causes removal at Line 1381.
Use only codex_openai_base_url_has_verified_capability for mutating cleanup paths. Add a regression test that changes both values to a matching invalid capability and verifies that uninstall retains openai_base_url.

Non-blocking +1. I reproduced this cleanup path with matching unverified header and base-URL values: uninstall removes the user URL. Requiring the verified capability for these mutations and adding the regression would make the ownership boundary safer.

@mnajafian-nv, thank you for reproducing the issue.
This confirms that an unverified matching token is not a safe ownership signal. The cleanup paths should require codex_openai_base_url_has_verified_capability. The regression test should preserve openai_base_url when both values use a matching invalid capability.

Learning: In `crates/cli/src/agents/codex/host.rs`, Codex uninstall must treat `openai_base_url` as Relay-managed only when its capability token is verified by `BootstrapChallengeKey`. Matching an unverified token in `model_providers.nemo-relay-openai` and `openai_base_url` can be user-owned configuration and must not be restored or removed.
Note: Learnings are effective only in the context of similar code segments. To apply general coding guidelines, please configure review instructions. You can manage existing learnings in the app.

Normalize the legacy Codex provider selection.
install_codex_config preserves model_provider = "nemo-relay-openai" in upgraded configurations, so new sessions can still select the legacy alias instead of the capability-bearing built-in openai provider. Set the active provider to openai while preserving the alias configuration for session resumption.

+1. I reproduced the legacy upgrade path: an active nemo-relay-openai selection remains active after install, so new sessions still use the synthetic identity. Please migrate the active selection to openai while retaining the alias for old-session resume.

@mnajafian-nv, confirmed. install_codex_config excludes "nemo-relay-openai" from normalization at Lines 833-840. This preserves the synthetic provider as the active provider.
Apply this minimal change:
if doc
.get("model_provider")
.and_then(Item::as_value)
.and_then(TomlValue::as_str)
.is_some_and(|provider| provider != "openai")
{
doc["model_provider"] = value("openai");
}Retain the existing model_providers.nemo-relay-openai table. The existing uninstall logic restores the original legacy selection from the backup when required.
Extend codex_install_preserves_user_provider_headers_when_rebuilding_configuration to verify:
model_provideris"openai"after installation.openai_base_urlhas the managed capability URL.model_providers.nemo-relay-openairemains present.- The legacy alias retains user headers and receives the Relay client proof.

Setting openai_base_url on the built-in openai provider makes Codex automatically try WebSockets before HTTPS. Relay rejects this WebSocket path, so normal requests go through several failed connection attempts and retries before falling back. This adds avoidable delay and repeated error output to every request, with no setting here to disable the WebSocket attempt.

Summary
Previously, installing Relay for Codex overwrote
model_provider = "nemo-relay-openai"— a synthetic provider Codex doesn't natively recognize as its built-in OpenAI provider. This caused provider-identity confusion between direct-Codex and Relay-routed sessions (discoverability/continuation differences between CLI, desktop app, and across install/uninstall).Fix
crates/cli/src/agents/codex/host.rs: install no longer forcesmodel_provider. Instead it setsopenai_base_urlon Codex's built-inopenaiprovider, only normalizingmodel_providertoopenaiif it's currently something other thanopenai/nemo-relay-openai. Uninstall/backup-restore logic mirrors this foropenai_base_url(restore_managed_openai_base_url,remove_managed_openai_base_url,codex_openai_base_url_is_managed), andcodex_config_doc_has_managed_installrecognizes "managed" installs under either the legacynemo-relay-openaiprovider selection or the newopenai+ managed-openai_base_urlscheme, preserving backward compatibility with sessions/configs created by older Relay versions.crates/cli/src/configuration/mod.rs: addspersistent_openai_base_url(), building a per-install capability URL ({gateway}/v1/nemo-relay/{client_token}) embedded in the path, since Codex's OpenAI-provider override can't attach custom auth headers.crates/cli/src/server/mod.rs,gateway/mod.rs,gateway/request.rs: the gateway accepts requests under/v1/nemo-relay/{capability}/..., verifies the embedded token inauthorize_provider_path(), strips the capability prefix, and re-dispatches to the normal provider route.Net effect:
model_providerstays absent/openai, never becomesnemo-relay-openai, and Relay routing happens purely via a capability-authenticatedopenai_base_url.Test plan
