Have you tried setting review_model in your config?

@etraut-openai review_model doesn't allow me to specify a local model (?). It might be intended, and not a usecase you care about on your part, but it is in conflict with general codex cli usage help screen. codex [OPTIONS] <COMMAND> [ARGS] which reads to be like all options are available and adhered to.
