What issue are you seeing?

The Codex App Environment/Summary panel reports:

GitHub CLI not authenticated

But GitHub CLI is installed and authenticated. The failing condition is not authentication; it is that Codex gives the local gh auth status preflight only 5 seconds to complete.

A successful gh auth status can take slightly longer than 5 seconds. In my environment, repeated successful runs took about 5.8-6.2 seconds.

After increasing the local gh auth status timeout from 5 seconds to 10 seconds, the false authentication error stopped appearing.

What is the expected behavior?

Codex should not treat a successful gh auth status command as failed just because it takes slightly longer than 5 seconds.

The local GitHub CLI auth preflight should either use a longer timeout, such as 10 seconds, or distinguish timeout from authentication failure in the UI.

Additional information

The packaged app code appears to use a 5 second timeout for local gh auth status, while remote-ish hosts get 10 seconds:

async function Q0({ appServerClient: e, signal: t }) {
  let n = G(e.hostConfig) ? 5e3 : 1e3,
      r = G(e.hostConfig) ? 1e4 : 5e3;

  let i = await F0([`--version`], {
    appServerClient: e,
    signal: t,
    timeoutMs: n
  });

  return i.success
    ? {
        isInstalled: true,
        isAuthenticated: (await F0([`auth`, `status`], {
          appServerClient: e,
          signal: t,
          timeoutMs: r
        })).success
      }
    : { isInstalled: false, isAuthenticated: false };
}

For local hosts, r is 5e3. Changing that local value to 1e4 resolved the false status.
