Pull request overview
Fixes Codex smoke workflow failures in AWF-sandboxed runs by changing how Codex execution steps are generated so the Codex runtime can see required API-key environment variables inside the container.
Changes:
- Updated Codex engine AWF wrapping to stop excluding API-key env vars from the container environment.
- Updated workflow lockfiles and Codex golden output to reflect the new AWF invocation flags.
- Added a regression test assertion to ensure generated steps don’t exclude
OPENAI_API_KEY(and currently alsoCODEX_API_KEY).

Smoke Codex fails before producing output because the Codex runtime cannot read
OPENAI_API_KEYinside the AWF sandbox, even when the secret is configured. The workflow currently injects the key but also excludes it from container-visible env, causing immediate engine startup failure.Root-cause correction (Codex AWF env isolation)
OPENAI_API_KEYfrom AWF container env.CODEX_API_KEYexcluded, preserving existing secret-isolation behavior for the alias var while allowing the runtime-required var through.Regression guard
--exclude-env OPENAI_API_KEY.Behavioral impact
CODEX_API_KEY || OPENAI_API_KEYsecret mapping, instead of terminating with “Missing environment variable:OPENAI_API_KEY”.
