When I start Codex, I do not get prompted to chose an authentication method but it goes straight to:
Missing openai API key.
Set the environment variable OPENAI_API_KEY and re-run this command.
You can create a key here: https://platform.openai.com/account/api-keys
Have tried some of the other commands like resume, config, etc. but no changes
What steps can reproduce the bug?
Install it (home-manager, brew), run codex
