TL;DR

The issue may be resolved by investigating the authentication or permissions configuration for the Codex App, as the 403 Forbidden status suggests an access control problem.

Guidance

  • Verify the authentication tokens or credentials used by the Codex App to access the backend API, ensuring they are valid and have the necessary permissions.
  • Check the Codex App's configuration and settings to see if there are any options related to authentication, permissions, or access control that could be adjusted to resolve the issue.
  • Investigate if the "infinite compaction loop" in the worker chat is related to the 403 Forbidden error, and if resolving the authentication issue also fixes the loop problem.
  • Consider checking the backend API documentation for any specific requirements or restrictions on API calls, such as rate limiting or IP blocking, that could be contributing to the 403 Forbidden status.

Notes

The exact cause of the issue is unclear, and more information about the Codex App's configuration and the backend API would be necessary to provide a more specific solution.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Adjust the authentication or permissions configuration for the Codex App to resolve the 403 Forbidden error, as this is the most likely cause of the issue.
