Same thing happens even when the ~/.codex/config.json file is configured appropriately

Believe this is the same bug this addresses? https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/1268

It runs that code regardless of provider.

For now, version 0.1.2505172129, I must set ~/.codex/config.json and provide key after cli prompt key. Setup env is useless.

Happens for our custom provider as well. using export <provider>_API_KEY= has no effect.

Thanks for the feedback! Please try again on the latest version of Codex CLI. If the issue persists, let us know. We're primarily focused on the native/Rust implementation of Codex CLI and would love to see if this issue still occurs there.
