# --- Codex (chatgpt/ provider) ---
# The `responses/` in `chatgpt/responses/gpt-5.4*` is LOAD-BEARING. Plain
# `chatgpt/gpt-5.4*` routes to /backend-api/codex/chat/completions, which Cloudflare
# serves a JS bot-challenge for (HTML, not JSON) -> the call fails and silently falls
# back to OpenRouter Nemotron. The /responses endpoint is NOT challenged. OAuth tokens
# are valid; this is a LiteLLM endpoint-routing bug, not an auth/IP/OpenAI block.
# See BerriAI/litellm#27175 (workaround) + openclaw#68033 (2026-06).
# Equally LOAD-BEARING: do NOT add `model_info: mode: responses` here. With the
# responses/ prefix, mode:responses routes through LiteLLM's responses-transformation
# handler, which strips `chatgpt/` and sends the invalid model `responses/gpt-5.4-mini`
# (400 "model not supported"). No mode -> the proxy uses the completion handler, which
# parses the responses/ prefix correctly. Verified 3/3 via proxy /chat/completions.
# NOTE: LiteLLM's chatgpt/ provider reads tokens from auth.json (written by the
# codex-auth-seed init + codex-auth-rotator sidecar). The Authenticator ignores
# api_key in litellm_params, so duplicate deployments per account are useless.
# Multi-account rotation happens via the sidecar swapping auth.json every 10 min.
# Each user on the ChatGPT Team has their own quota pool, so rotation gives real
# multi-account benefit.

Apply the DeepSeek tool shim to the changed Codex aliases.

The aliases route to deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash, but the callback runs only when data.model equals deepseek-flash-1017. A Codex request with namespace tools can therefore bypass the shim and reach DeepSeek, which rejects non-function tools. Add the aliases’ effective model group to the shim allowlist, or route them through deepseek-flash-1017. Add a namespace-tool test for the affected aliases.

Update the DeepSeek tool-shim model allowlist to include the effective model
group used by the aliases routing to deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash, so Codex
requests with namespace tools are converted before reaching DeepSeek.

Valid finding — confirmed. deepseek-v4-flash and deepseek-flash-1017 are both the deepseek/ provider (same DeepSeek API), which rejects type: namespace tools, and applies_to matches the requested model_name against SHIM_MODEL_GROUPS = {deepseek-flash-1017} — so the repointed aliases (gpt-5.4, openai-codex/*, codex-cli/gpt-5.4, …) route to deepseek but bypass the shim. A codex caller sending namespace tools to one of these aliases would get DeepSeek's unknown variant namespace 400.

Correct fix: add the repointed alias model_names to SHIM_MODEL_GROUPS — a no-op for callers sending plain function tools, and it flattens namespace tools for codex callers. (Routing the backend to deepseek-flash-1017 does not help, since the shim keys off the requested model_name, not the deployment.)

Not fixing in this PR, tracked as an immediate fast-follow: this PR's scope is restoring the dead gpt/codex aliases to a working backend, and current namespace-tool exposure is zero — cloud-codex is scaled to 0 under D111 and the codex-cli wrappers are down, while the moltbot heartbeats run through OpenClaw (plain function tools), not codex's namespace grouping. The shim change extends a correctness boundary and is better reviewed on its own.

@lilyshen0722 Understood. Deferring this to a separate PR is reasonable given the inactive namespace-tool callers you described.

You are correct about the fix: the shim matches the requested model_name, not the deployment. My suggestion to change only the backend route would not fix the bypass.

The finding remains valid but deferred. Before re-enabling namespace-tool callers, add the affected aliases to SHIM_MODEL_GROUPS and verify namespace-tool conversion and unchanged plain function tools.

If the follow-up does not already have an issue, would you like me to open one?

You are interacting with an AI system.

# --- Codex CLI native /responses path (cloud-codex / Cody, wire_api="responses") ---
# Unlike the chat-path aliases above, the codex CLI hits LiteLLM's /v1/responses
# endpoint directly. There the chatgpt provider's get_complete_url already targets
# /responses, so the `responses/` prefix is redundant AND breaks: it gets sent
# literally to OpenAI as `responses/gpt-5.4` -> 400 "model not supported". These
# aliases map to plain `chatgpt/gpt-5.4*` (NO prefix) so /v1/responses sends the
# bare model name. Verified end-to-end via litellm.aresponses: real codex (served=
# gpt-5.4 / gpt-5.4-mini-2026-03-17). Do NOT point chat-path (/chat/completions)
# callers here — plain chatgpt/gpt-5.4* on the chat path hits the Cloudflare-
# challenged /backend-api/codex/chat/completions (see the chat-path note above).
