Detect signed-out Codex installations

[milind-soni]

What changed

• Run codex login status after detecting the installed CLI, so a signed-out installation is reported as available but unauthenticated.
• Use the instance environment consistently for catalog discovery, status checks, and real Codex turns.
• Classify Codex 401, missing-bearer, and authentication-required failures as setup errors so the UI offers sign-in instead of repeatedly retrying.
• Use the explicit codex login command for setup.

Root cause

OpenMausBot previously treated a successful codex --version check as enough to use the provider. A newly installed CLI with no saved ChatGPT login therefore reached api.openai.com without authorization and entered the reconnect loop.

Validation

• 527 tests passed across 64 files; 8 platform-specific tests skipped.
• 12 updater coordinator tests passed.
• TypeScript checks passed.
• Production build passed.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Added Codex authentication status reporting.
  • Added support for detecting unauthorized requests and indicating when sign-in is required.
  • Updated Codex sign-in setup to use the codex login command.
  • Improved consistency when applying configured environment settings across Codex operations.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The Codex driver now uses shared child-process environments, codex login, and codex login status. It reports authentication state and maps unauthorized RPC failures to setup-required turns. The fake server and tests cover these behaviors.

Changes

Codex authentication flow

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Environment and install handling server/drivers/codex.ts	The driver uses codex login and centralizes child-process environment construction. Turns reuse the shared environment.
Authentication state and error handling server/drivers/codex.ts	Snapshot checks include codex login status and an authenticated field. Authorization failures emit setup-required errors and use auth_required.
Authentication test coverage and fake-server behavior server/testing/fake-codex-app-server.ts, server/drivers/codex.test.ts	The fake server supports login-state and unauthorized modes. Tests cover CODEX_HOME, authentication snapshots, authorization failures, and the sign-in command.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to d085f

The change can fail to detect or use Codex when its executable is available only through the instance environment, leaving affected installations unusable. Merge should wait until the existing PATH is preserved while adding the required search paths.

Preserve the instance PATH.

Line 75 overwrites input.environment.PATH with a path built from process.env. If the instance environment contains the directory for config.cli, catalog discovery, snapshot checks, and turns cannot resolve the CLI. Merge input.environment.PATH with augmentedPath() instead of replacing it.
