Overview

Preserve Codex conversation identity when installing Relay: keep the built-in openai provider, route it through the local gateway, and deliver gateway authentication through a persistent startup header instead of a credential-bearing URL.

  • I confirm this contribution is my own work, or I have the right to submit it under this project's license.
  • I searched existing issues and open pull requests, and this does not duplicate existing work.

Details

nemo-relay install codex configures a plain openai_base_url and appends an owned assignment to $CODEX_HOME/.env. Codex loads this at startup, including the tested desktop embedding. The namespaced OpenAI-Project value carries Relay's existing per-user proof and the caller's original project metadata. Relay validates and removes the proof before request preparation, observability, or forwarding. Normal project values and upstream Authorization credentials retain their existing semantics.

The installer preserves other dotenv settings, includes the dotenv file in install/trust rollback, supports existing dotenv symlinks, and removes only its managed block on uninstall. Config backup/restore and readiness detection cover the plain URL. Existing capability routes and dedicated Relay headers remain accepted, and the legacy nemo-relay-openai alias remains available for older sessions. The Responses WebSocket probe still receives HTTP 426 for immediate HTTP/SSE fallback, enabled by PR #994. Live validation measured 21–91 ms of fallback overhead. Codex performs the probe when establishing a Responses session rather than before every model request; a new session, reconnect, or provider reinitialization can probe again.

Compatibility: existing gateway authentication mechanisms remain supported. The gateway's existing ChatGPT token classification and caller-credential routing policy are unchanged.

Validation at 792092fa:

  • Local formatting, file hygiene, documentation links, lockfile consistency, dependency policy, and generated attribution checks passed. CI check/clippy, all five Linux/macOS/Windows canonical Rust suites, docs preview, all seven package builds, and all seven package smoke jobs passed in CI.
  • Added regressions for proof consumption, invalid/duplicate proofs, browser-origin rejection, original provider metadata, nested inherited carriers, dotenv preservation, permissions/symlinks, installation rollback, migration, and verified ownership before uninstall restoration.
  • User-run Codex Desktop fixture received two successful header/auth requests with credentials loaded from persistent files. Its 1,044-entry diagnostic database contained neither synthetic credential.
  • The exact-head CI-built macOS binary passed real install/uninstall in an isolated home. One Codex conversation resumed through caller-owned and gateway-held credentials, an app-server restart, and restored direct access after uninstall. Previous assistant content and thread identity were preserved. Relay stripped the proof and preserved project metadata upstream. WebSocket fallback took 34–91 ms in this run. A flushed 79-entry diagnostic database contained none of the synthetic proof/API keys.
  • Live InferenceHub Nano, Super, and Ultra requests authenticated through the persistent header with model_provider = "openai"; fallback took 21–30 ms. Super and Ultra passed a shell-tool file-reading task. Nano answered incorrectly without a tool on its initial attempt, then passed on a bounded retry; model tool-following remains variable. Saved outputs contained no actual API key.
  • Manual desktop validation passed: install using the PR binary, restart the app, and continue a conversation created before installation. Follow-up checks confirmed the built-in openai provider, plain gateway URL, managed persistent header, and exact-head PR binary serving port 47632. All installed Codex doctor checks passed with the installer's binary PATH. This confirms one desktop restart; a second restart was not separately reported.

Where should the reviewer start?

Start with environment.rs and host.rs for installation, persistence, and restoration. Then inspect provider_auth.rs and server/mod.rs for authentication consumption before forwarding. The added coverage is under crates/cli/tests/coverage/agents/ and crates/cli/tests/coverage/shared/server_tests.rs.

Walkthrough

Codex 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.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to bafb4

Installing Relay into Codex can permanently erase a user's inline shell environment policy, including secret exclusions, and can fail on valid inline filter configs. The docs still describe the old URL-embedded proof. Fix the policy handling before merging; the remaining items are smaller follow-ups.

Confirming @ericevans-nv's concern with measurements, and adding a second problem with this approach that is independent of the transport issue.

1. The WebSocket cost, measured

Tested against Codex CLI 0.152.0 using the exact config shape install_codex_config writes (openai_base_url = capability URL, built-in openai provider active), pointed at a loopback listener:

7 x GET /v1/nemo-relay/<cap>/responses   Upgrade: websocket
backoff: 0.120 -> 0.290 -> 0.544 -> 0.941 -> 1.690 -> 3.202     sum ~6.8s
session start 20:11:00.288 -> HTTPS fallback 20:11:07.434        = 7.146s

Every session pays this before its first real request, with ERROR codex_api::endpoint::responses_websocket lines and a warning that attributes our missing transport to OpenAI: "Falling back from WebSockets to HTTPS transport. We're currently experiencing high demand...". Against real upstream, add 7x RTT.

It cannot be turned off from config:

Attempted Result
[model_providers.openai] supports_websockets = false model_providers contains reserved built-in provider IDs: 'openai'. Built-in providers cannot be overridden.
Same via -c on the command line Identical rejection — the guard runs on the merged config
[features] responses_websockets = false (and _v2) Loads without error, no effect
Answering the upgrade 404 instead of 500 Still all 7 attempts; only the warning text changes

Also worth noting: the handshake GET matches the wildcard route this PR adds in server/mod.rs, post(gateway::passthrough).get(gateway::models). gateway::models hardcodes ProviderRoute::OpenAiModels regardless of path, so each of the 7 attempts becomes an authenticated proxied GET to api.openai.com/v1/responses. Same wildcard makes GET /v1/nemo-relay/<cap>/anything return the model list.

2. Second blocker: the capability token lands in logs

See openai/codex#37988 — Codex logs the full connection URL at error! level, at default verbosity, on every WebSocket fallback. Our capability URL carries the token in the path, so each session prints it to stderr seven times:

ERROR codex_api::endpoint::responses_websocket: failed to connect to websocket:
  ..., url: ws://127.0.0.1:PORT/v1/nemo-relay/<capability-token>/responses

That is CI logs, shared terminals, and pasted bug reports. It is inherent to putting the capability in the path, which this PR does because openai_base_url cannot carry a custom header. It stands independently of whether the latency issue is ever fixed.

3. Scope correction on what this PR buys

Worth restating, because it changes the trade. Pre-install conversations are not lost under the legacy provider. Verified against 0.152.0:

Attempt Active provider Result
codex exec resume --last nemo-relay-openai Misses it; starts a new thread
codex exec resume <old-id> nemo-relay-openai Works — same thread, history intact, continues through Relay
codex exec resume --last openai Picks the older openai thread over a newer nemo-relay-openai one

Codex stores threads in ~/.codex/state_5.sqlite with model_provider and an index on it; selection filters by the active provider. So the regression is discoverability in the picker, not preservation — pre-Relay threads stay resumable by id either way. (CLI verified directly; the desktop app is inferred to use the same query.)

A Codex user hit the same trade independently in openai/codex#27381: they disabled WebSockets with a custom provider and reported "it messes with codex resume TUI — it doesn't display my previous sessions".

4. Upstream status

The blocker is already filed: openai/codex#27381 (feature request, proposes supports_websockets = false by name) and openai/codex#38638 (documents the reserved-provider rejection verbatim). No open PR addresses either.

I prototyped two fixes against openai/codex tag rust-v0.152.0 and verified both with the probe above — with either applied, Codex keeps provider: openai and makes zero WebSocket attempts. Happy to share, but they depend on an upstream release, so they do not unblock 0.8.

Suggestion

For 0.8 I think @ericevans-nv is right and we should defer: revert install to the legacy nemo-relay-openai provider, document that pre-install sessions resume by id, and keep the capability-URL gateway work for when the transport question is settled. The identity fix is worth doing, just not at the cost of a ~7s stall, misleading errors, and a token in stderr on every session.

Independent of direction, two things in this diff are worth fixing since the route ships either way: narrow .get(gateway::models) so it matches the models paths rather than every GET, and reject Upgrade: websocket locally instead of spending upstream credentials on 7 bogus GETs per session.

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.

843-843: Already reported: the built-in openai override triggers repeated WebSocket fallback attempts.

Codex performs seven failed WebSocket attempts before HTTPS fallback, which adds approximately seven seconds locally.


1380-1381: Already reported: require a verified capability before restoring or removing openai_base_url.

codex_openai_base_url_is_managed still accepts a URL derived from an unverified matching provider token. The existing review requested that both mutation paths use only codex_openai_base_url_has_verified_capability.

537-540: 🔒 Security & Privacy | 🛡️ Analyzed with Security Review

Do not place the provider capability in openai_base_url. The HMAC client token is persisted in the URL, and Relay accepts that token to authorize provider access. A complete URL log would expose a replayable credential. Retain the legacy provider configuration until Codex provides a non-URL credential channel or disables the relevant WebSocket probes.

docs/nemo-relay-cli/plugin-installation.mdx (1)

433-433: 🚀 Performance & Scalability

The Codex provider configuration already sets supports_websockets=false in crates/cli/src/agents/codex/launch.rs:298 and crates/cli/src/agents/codex/host.rs:861. The launcher test also asserts this setting. Codex therefore does not probe /v1/nemo-relay/test-capability/responses over WebSocket in the built-in provider flow. The reviewed test only preserves the server’s 426 Upgrade Required response for clients that attempt WebSocket, so it does not lock in the claimed seven-attempt fallback.

Sensitive Data Exposure

Bound replay of legacy capability URLs. client_token() is a deterministic HMAC, and verify_client_token() checks no expiry or nonce. The persisted key is reused, so an obtained capability URL remains valid until the key is replaced. The route still authorizes ambient provider credentials, and current documentation intentionally keeps it for older clients. Add a route-specific expiry or revocation mechanism, or enforce a published migration cutoff. Keep header-based authentication working for refreshed clients.

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.

872-872: Existing review covers the WebSocket fallback delay.

The prior comment already identifies that setting openai_base_url on the built-in provider causes repeated WebSocket attempts before HTTPS fallback.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Update the proof-transport paragraph.

install_codex_config_inner writes a plain gateway URL. The installer stores the proof in $CODEX_HOME/.env as OPENAI_PROJECT, which Codex sends through the OpenAI-Project header.

📝 Suggested wording
-The installer derives a per-user client proof for managed provider requests and
-embeds it in the installed OpenAI base URL. Relay validates and removes that
-capability before middleware, observability, or upstream forwarding. The
-secret-bearing Codex configuration uses an owner-only mode on Unix and a
-protected owner/System DACL on Windows.

- Around line 1407-1423: Update install_codex_tool_environment_exclusion and
restore_codex_tool_environment_exclusion to preserve inline tables: use
table-like mutable access for shell_environment_policy and filters, create
tables only when keys are absent, and avoid overwriting existing keys. Update
remove_empty_table to recognize empty inline tables, then add a regression test
confirming install followed by uninstall restores the original inline-policy
bytes unchanged.
