What is the issue?

It is https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/4646 not https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/4636 for:

Replace --api-key with --with-api-key for logging into the CLI with an API key

Please keep in mind that there have been many changes to API authorization in recent days. First via ENV, then via parameters, and now via STDIN. I have revised internal brief documents several times within a short period of time.

My wish: In the future, I would like to see a little more reliability and stability in parameters and functionality. With /limit and similar commands, it was also the case that these were quickly replaced by /status. If you think things through beforehand, it will save a lot of people who work with it a lot of work and effort.

Where did you find it?
