fix: inject OPENAI_API_KEY/CODEX_API_KEY placeholders for Codex api-proxy routing

[lpcox]

Problem

Codex v0.121.0 introduced a CODEX_API_KEY-based WebSocket auth flow. When neither CODEX_API_KEY nor OPENAI_API_KEY is present in the agent environment, Codex bypasses OPENAI_BASE_URL and connects directly to wss://api.openai.com/v1/responses for OAuth authentication — getting a 401 because AWF holds the real keys in the api-proxy sidecar.

Diagnostic evidence from the failing smoke run:

• auth_env_openai_api_key_present=false
• auth_env_codex_api_key_present=false
• auth_env_codex_api_key_enabled=true
• auth_header_attached=false
• Codex exhausts all 5 WebSocket reconnection retries to api.openai.com directly

Fix

Inject placeholder values for OPENAI_API_KEY and CODEX_API_KEY in the agent container when --enable-api-proxy is active — the same pattern already used for Anthropic credential isolation (ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN placeholder).

With a key present, Codex finds it, routes API calls through OPENAI_BASE_URL=http://172.30.0.30:10000, and the api-proxy WebSocket upgrade handler (proxyWebSocket()) replaces the placeholder's Authorization header with the real key via Object.assign(forwardHeaders, injectHeaders) before forwarding to api.openai.com.

The real keys are never present in the agent container. The one-shot-token LD_PRELOAD library caches and clears the placeholder from /proc/self/environ as normal.

Changes

• src/docker-manager.ts: Set OPENAI_API_KEY and CODEX_API_KEY to sk-placeholder-for-api-proxy when api-proxy is enabled
• src/docker-manager.test.ts: Update 3 tests to assert placeholder is set and real key is not leaked

Pull request overview

This PR addresses a Codex v0.121+ behavior where missing OPENAI_API_KEY/CODEX_API_KEY in the agent environment can cause Codex to bypass OPENAI_BASE_URL and connect directly to api.openai.com, breaking api-proxy routing and credential isolation.

Changes:

• Injects placeholder OPENAI_API_KEY and CODEX_API_KEY into the agent container when OpenAI api-proxy routing is configured.
• Updates docker-manager tests to assert placeholders are present and host keys are not leaked to the agent.
