Summary

  • add an optional, process-scoped loopback upstream for the runtime rotation proxy
  • preserve runtime account rotation while allowing a local compression or inspection proxy to sit upstream
  • fail closed when an explicitly configured upstream is unsafe or cannot be used

What Changed

  • parse CODEX_MULTI_AUTH_RUNTIME_PROXY_UPSTREAM_BASE_URL as HTTP-only loopback with an explicit port and no credentials, query, or fragment
  • pass the normalized upstream to both the shadow-runtime and interactive-helper proxy startup paths
  • retain the current direct-backend fallback only when no explicit upstream was requested
  • document the environment variable and add positive coverage for both startup paths plus six unsafe-URL poisons

Validation

  • npm run lint
  • npm run typecheck
  • npm test
  • npm test -- test/documentation.test.ts
  • npm run build

Additional focused validation:

  • vitest run test/codex-bin-wrapper.test.ts --maxWorkers=1 --testNamePattern "forwards an explicit loopback upstream|fails closed for an unsafe runtime-proxy upstream": 8 passed
  • combined focused wrapper/documentation selection after the README update: 11 passed
  • npm run typecheck:scripts: passed
  • git diff --check: passed

The full test/codex-bin-wrapper.test.ts run reached 168 passed and 16 skipped, with five failures unrelated to this change on Windows: native exit-code overflow, native executable discovery, inherited app-server preload expectation, helper timeout/EPERM cleanup, and canonical-home config/EPERM cleanup. The new upstream-routing positives and poisons all passed, so the unchanged full suite was not repeated.

Docs and Governance Checklist

  • README updated (if user-visible behavior changed)
  • docs/getting-started.md updated (if onboarding flow changed)
  • docs/features.md updated (if capability surface changed)
  • relevant docs/reference/* pages updated (if commands/settings/paths changed)
  • docs/upgrade.md updated (if migration behavior changed)
  • SECURITY.md and CONTRIBUTING.md reviewed for alignment

This is an advanced process-scoped integration hook rather than an onboarding, stored-setting, command, or migration change, so README environment-variable documentation is the applicable public surface.

Risk and Rollback

  • Risk level: low; behavior is unchanged unless the new environment variable is set.
  • Rollback plan: revert this commit or unset CODEX_MULTI_AUTH_RUNTIME_PROXY_UPSTREAM_BASE_URL.

Additional Notes

  • The accepted URL boundary intentionally excludes remote hosts and HTTPS because this hook is for a same-machine proxy chain.
  • An explicit upstream is authoritative: missing config helpers, a missing proxy module, or proxy startup failure returns a startup error instead of silently bypassing the configured hop.

note: greptile review for oc-chatgpt-multi-auth. cite files like lib/foo.ts:123. confirm regression tests + windows concurrency/token redaction coverage.

Greptile Summary

this pr adds a process-scoped loopback upstream for runtime rotation while preserving fail-closed routing and token safety.

  • validates http upstreams as explicitly ported numeric loopback urls.
  • passes the normalized upstream through shadow-runtime and interactive-helper startup.
  • prevents request-bearing invocations from silently bypassing an explicitly configured upstream.
  • documents the local-process trust boundary and plaintext bearer-token exposure.
  • adds focused vitest coverage; the full vitest suite was not completed because of reported unrelated windows failures.
  • introduces no new shared mutable state or concurrency behavior.

Confidence Score: 5/5

the pr appears safe to merge, with the previous token-safety and explicit-port findings resolved.

numeric loopback validation prevents hosts-file redirection, raw-authority inspection preserves explicit port 80, and configured request routing now fails closed instead of bypassing the local upstream. both previous threads were manually resolved after the corresponding fixes, and no new blocking failure remains.

Important Files Changed

Filename Overview
scripts/codex.js validates the loopback upstream, forwards it through both proxy startup paths, and fails closed when explicit routing cannot be honored.
test/codex-bin-wrapper.test.ts adds focused vitest coverage for both startup paths, accepted url forms, unsafe inputs, and disabled-runtime behavior.
README.md documents configuration constraints, fail-closed behavior, and the local token trust boundary.

📝 Summary

minor risk. test/codex-bin-wrapper.test.ts:1641 covers loopback upstream routing and fail-closed behavior. configured invalid, unavailable, or unusable upstreams do not fall back to the direct backend, with no evident data-loss risk.

reviewers should focus on centralized validation and shared routing for shadow-runtime and interactive-helper paths in test/codex-bin-wrapper.test.ts:1641. direct-backend fallback applies only when the variable is absent. concurrency risk is low because the upstream is process-scoped. windows loopback resolution remains an uncovered edge case. documentation is updated in README.md.

Walkthrough

the wrapper adds an optional loopback http upstream for runtime rotation proxy routing. it validates the url, forwards it through shadow-runtime and interactive-helper paths, and fails closed when configured routing is invalid or unavailable.

Priority: ⬇️ Low — Defer the optional loopback proxy routing change because it is a narrowly scoped configuration and validation enhancement with no supplied external urgency.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Change: Feature

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 5d03e

The new upstream routing can expose managed bearer credentials to a malicious local listener. This should be addressed before merge with an authenticated, confidentiality-protected local transport.

whether the input explicitly included a port before new URL() normalization,
accepting explicit valid default ports such as :80 while retaining rejection for

Windows resolver behavior and concurrent requests.

- Line 1642: Update the “interactive helper” resume test to run asynchronously,
configure a short detached idle timeout, and wait for the fixture’s close marker
before teardown so the detached helper is fully stopped deterministically,

syamsulalam force-pushed the feat/runtime-proxy-loopback-upstream branch from f0ed5d4 to ccf8778 Compare September 8, 2026 08:36
Follow-up review fixes on top of the loopback-upstream change.

- Resolve CODEX_MULTI_AUTH_RUNTIME_PROXY_UPSTREAM_BASE_URL BEFORE the
  isRuntimeRotationProxyEnabled gate. Every path that returned baseContext
  early (rotation set to 0, CODEX_MULTI_AUTH_BYPASS=1, a missing
  dist/lib/config.js) forwarded Responses traffic and its OAuth bearer straight
  to the real backend while the operator believed it was pinned to their local
  listener, contradicting the README paragraph added in this PR. A
  request-bearing invocation now exits non-zero instead. Subcommands that never
  reach the backend still pass through with the upstream unused.
- Reject a named host. `localhost` was accepted without resolution, so a
  hosts-file entry pointing it at a routable address sent the managed bearer
  token off-host. The host must now be a numeric loopback literal: any of
  127.0.0.0/8, or [::1]. The old `hostname === "::1"` arm was dead code, since
  WHATWG URL always reports an IPv6 host bracketed.
- Accept an explicitly written default port. `new URL()` erases it, so
  `http://127.0.0.1:80/backend-api` reported `parsed.port === ""` and the
  `!parsed.port` check rejected a valid loopback URL.
- Stop parsing the variable twice per launch. The second parse sat inside the
  proxy-start try, so a pure validation failure was reported as "failed to
  start with configured upstream" instead of "upstream is invalid". Both call
  sites now receive the already-resolved value.
- README: document the numeric-loopback requirement, the reason for it, and
  what "fails closed" covers.

Test additions: accepted `:80`, `127.9.9.9` and `[::1]` upstreams; rejected
`localhost`, `#fragment`, `127.0.0.1.example.com` and `[::2]`; the
rotation-disabled fail-closed path; and a non-request subcommand passing
through. 4 of them fail against the pre-fix tree.

Pre-existing and unrelated: the two "native codex executables on PATH" cases in
this same file fail at the PR head as well, before any of these changes.

Pushed 5d03e7fa to this branch: review follow-ups on top of ccf87782.

The configured upstream was ignored whenever rotation was off. It was resolved after the isRuntimeRotationProxyEnabled gate, so with CODEX_MULTI_AUTH_RUNTIME_ROTATION_PROXY=0, CODEX_MULTI_AUTH_BYPASS=1, or a missing dist/lib/config.js, the wrapper returned baseContext and sent OAuth-bearing traffic straight to chatgpt.com, contradicting the README paragraph this PR adds. It is now resolved first and fails closed with exit 1. One deliberate exception: a subcommand that never reaches the backend still runs, gated on shouldUseRuntimeRoutingForForwardedArgs, so exporting the variable in a shell does not break --version or login.

localhost was accepted without resolution. A hosts-file entry could point it at a routable address and the request carries the managed bearer token. The host must now be a numeric loopback literal (127.0.0.0/8 or [::1]). The old hostname === "::1" arm was dead code, since WHATWG URL always brackets an IPv6 host.

An explicitly written :80 was rejected, because new URL() erases a default port and the check was !parsed.port. hasExplicitUrlPort now reads it from the raw authority.

The variable was parsed twice per launch, and the second parse sat inside the proxy-start try, so a pure validation failure was reported as "failed to start with configured upstream". Both call sites take the already-resolved value.

README updated for the numeric-loopback rule, why it exists, and what "fails closed" covers.

Tests: accepted :80, 127.9.9.9 and [::1]; rejected localhost, #fragment, 127.0.0.1.example.com and [::2]; the rotation-disabled fail-closed path; and a non-request subcommand passing through. 4 of them fail against ccf87782. Full suite: 5772 passed, 2 failed, and those 2 ("native codex executables on PATH", same file) fail identically at ccf87782 before any of these changes.

Follow-up on the CodeRabbit CWE-319 finding against 5d03e7f.

The loopback check bounds exposure to the local machine and does not
authenticate the process holding the port, so any local process that can bind
it receives the managed bearer token in cleartext. Requiring HTTPS is not the
fix: a local inspection proxy is the point of this variable, it terminates TLS
with a certificate no public CA vouches for, and a hostile local process could
serve TLS on that port just as easily. The honest resolution is to state the
assumption the operator is taking on, which the README now does.
