So I can’t add new projects to Codex web. Wondering if anyone else is seeing this too.

That other endpoint (https://chatgpt.com/backend-api/wham/settings/code_review_search
) also times out.

its a joke -- it modifies, then i ask to commit, it tells me it does not have the ability to add, modify code. turning out just as stupid as the cli version

Can you try again? Some updates have rolled out this week.

If OpenAI doesn’t fix the issue, we’ll handle it ourselves. You can use any packet capture tool that supports request overriding.

Steps:

1. Go to the repository list page
   Visit https://chatgpt.com/codex/settings/code-review and check whether your repository appears there, since the list is quite long.

2. Locate the code review request
   While on that page, find the request to
   https://chatgpt.com/backend-api/wham/settings/code_review?page=1&per_page=100.
   Identify the repository you want to add and copy the corresponding JSON data for later use.

3. Open the environment creation page
   Go to https://chatgpt.com/codex/settings/environment/create.

4. Capture and modify the repository request
   Capture the request to
   https://chatgpt.com/backend-api/wham/github/repositories/v2/*******?page=1&per_page=20,
   and override it so that the "repositories" array contains only the repository you want to add.

5. Add the repository via the web interface
   Once you’ve modified the request, you should be able to add the repository directly from the web page.

6. (Optional) Direct API call
   Alternatively, you can capture the “add” request and directly call the same API endpoint to add the repository manually.

If OpenAI doesn’t resolve this for a long time, I might just write a Chrome extension to automate the entire process.
