Debugging a live codex smolmachines bottle surfaced three independent
failures past the sign-in screen; fix each so forward_host_credentials
works end to end:
- codex_auth: dummy access/id tokens now inherit the *real* host token's
exp instead of now+1h. Codex (0.135) refreshes when its local token's
JWT exp lapses; with a placeholder refresh_token that refresh fails and
drops to the sign-in screen. Aligning exp tracks the real token's life.
- prepare: set CODEX_CA_CERTIFICATE to the agent CA bundle for codex
bottles. Codex is rustls and ignores the system store / NODE_EXTRA_CA_
CERTS; it reads CODEX_CA_CERTIFICATE (fallback SSL_CERT_FILE) for custom
roots across HTTPS + wss, so it must be pointed at the egress MITM CA or
injection can't work without tls_passthrough.
- pipelock: auto tls_passthrough the Codex API hosts when
forward_host_credentials is on. Egress injects the bearer before
pipelock, whose header DLP then flags the JWT ("request header contains
secret") and the retry storm trips its 429. passthrough host-gates the
CONNECT but skips decrypt+rescan of egress-owned auth. The auto-added
routes aren't in bottle.egress.routes, so the hosts are added explicitly.
