What version of Codex CLI is running?
v0.97.0
What subscription do you have?
Azure OpenAI API
Which model were you using?
gpt-5.2
What platform is your computer?
Windows11+WSL2
What terminal emulator and version are you using (if applicable)?
Windows Terminal
What issue are you seeing?
Since the new /personality feature released, I noticed that it doesn't work with my Azure OpenAI API auth.
When I do /personality with gpt-5.2 and gpt-5.2-codex, I get "Current model (gpt-5.2) doesn't support personalities. Try /model to pick a different model."
What steps can reproduce the bug?
Use Azure OAI Deployment
Open Codex CLI
Enter /personality
What is the expected behavior?
Parity with codex cli users that utilize their chatgpt subscription
Additional information
Guessing this is likely something on the Azure side but wanted to report it none the less

Please report this to the folks at Azure. They'll need to update their "responses" endpoint implementation to incorporate the latest changes from OpenAI. They typically lag by a couple of weeks.
Thanks for flagging this. To help us reproduce and prioritize:
We will update the proposal once we have the missing details.
