extent analysis

TL;DR

The issue can be resolved by investigating the callback timeout error and optimizing the OpenAI Codex OAuth flow.

Guidance

  • Investigate the callback_timeout error in the error log, which may indicate an issue with the OpenAI Codex OAuth callback.
  • Verify that the localhost:1455 callback URL is correctly configured and accessible.
  • Check the system's firewall and antivirus settings to ensure they are not blocking the callback request.
  • Consider increasing the callback timeout value to allow more time for the authentication process.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue is related to configuration and authentication flow.

Notes

The issue may be specific to the user's system configuration or network setup, and further investigation is needed to determine the root cause.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Investigate and optimize the OpenAI Codex OAuth flow to resolve the callback timeout error, as this is the most likely cause of the issue.
