What issue are you seeing?
Codex keeps insisting that I am not logged in to gh (github cli), even though I am logged in.
This is what Codex chat sees:
github.com
X Failed to log in to github.com account Martin-Carlsson (default)
- Active account: true
- The token in default is invalid.
- To re-authenticate, run: gh auth login -h github.com
- To forget about this account, run: gh auth logout -h github.com -u Martin-Carlsson
What the normal terminal sees:
➜ ~ gh auth status
github.com
