问题描述
在 Codex 桌面应用中执行任何需要审批的操作（如打开浏览器 Start-Process）时，
自动审批审查系统（auto_review）始终失败，导致所有高风险操作无法执行。
错误信息
Automatic approval review failed:
{"error":{"message":"The supported API model names are deepseek-v4-pro or deepseek-v4-flash,
but you passed codex-auto-review.","type":"invalid_request_error"}}
原因分析
自动审批系统内部调用模型时硬编码了 codex-auto-review 这个模型名，
但底层 API 只支持 deepseek-v4-pro 和 deepseek-v4-flash。
影响
所有需审批的操作（浏览器、外部命令等）完全无法执行，严重影响使用体验。
环境
- Codex 桌面版（Windows）
- 审批模式已设为"完全访问"
- 对话模型使用 deepseek-v4-pro

Problem description
When performing any operation that requires approval in the Codex desktop app (such as opening a browser with
Start-Process),the automatic approval review system (auto_review) always fails, preventing all high-risk operations from being executed.
Error message
Automatic approval review failed:
{"error":{"message":"The supported API model names are deepseek-v4-pro or deepseek-v4-flash,
but you passed codex-auto-review.","type":"invalid_request_error"}}
Cause analysis
When the automatic approval system calls the model internally, the model name
codex-auto-reviewis hardcoded,but the underlying API only supports
deepseek-v4-proanddeepseek-v4-flash.Impact
All operations requiring approval (browser access, external commands, etc.) are completely unavailable, severely affecting the user experience.
Environment
What steps can reproduce the bug?
The browser cannot be opened.
What is the expected behavior?

This looks related to issue #37009. The same root cause —
Codex's auto_review system hardcodes model name "codex-auto-review"
which doesn't exist on the DeepSeek API. It should use
"deepseek-v4-pro" instead, matching the user's configured model provider.
Steps to reproduce:
(e.g., open a browser with Start-Process)
and the action cannot be executed

@openai/codex-team any update on this? It's been several days
and all browser/external operations are completely blocked.
