Bug

sr add codex --device-auth silently swallowed the flag and always ran a browser OAuth flow on localhost:1455, which is unusable on a headless box.

  • cmd/subrouter/sr.go, addProvider(), the case "codex", "openai", "chatgpt" branch: return r.add(ctx) discarded args[1:] entirely, so --device-auth never reached anything.
  • cmd/subrouter/sr.go:869 (pre-change), add(): called r.isolatedCodexLogin(ctx, false) with deviceAuth hardcoded to false.
  • cmd/subrouter/sr_cloud.go:1066-1069: isolatedCodexLogin(ctx, deviceAuth bool) already takes and honors the parameter — it just wasn't reachable from this entry point.

Five other commands already declare and honor --device-auth (sr account add codex, sr login, sr codex migrate-isolation, sr codex enroll-isolated, sr server login/sync), so the capability existed and was working elsewhere — this one call site was simply unwired. The bug was reachable in practice via the workaround: log in locally with codex login, then sr codex import, then migrate the resulting profile into isolation — steps that shouldn't be necessary once sr add codex --device-auth works directly.

Fix

addProvider now parses args[1:] for the codex/openai/chatgpt case, rejects anything other than --device-auth, and threads the resulting bool through add(ctx, deviceAuth) into isolatedCodexLogin.

Tests

Added two tests in cmd/subrouter/sr_add_provider_test.go:

  • TestAddCodexWithDeviceAuthReachesIsolatedLoginWithFlagsr add codex --device-auth reaches the isolated login with the flag set.
  • TestAddCodexWithoutDeviceAuthOmitsFlag — bare sr add codex keeps the existing browser OAuth behavior.

Test suite note

go test ./... has 6 pre-existing failures on a clean main checkout, unrelated to this change and environment-dependent (root-privilege and local network/port assumptions on this box):

  • TestLocalAccountUploadsPreserveSupportedAPIKeyProviders
  • TestCodexNamedLoopbackServerIsNotBuiltInLocal
  • TestFrontSlotInstallerRemovesOnlyInactiveLegacyControlSocket
  • TestFrontSlotInstallerSafelyBeginsDormantStaleMigrationReconciliation
  • TestCodexDefaultTailscaleDiscoveryFailureFallsBackLocally
  • TestCodexRegistryErrorDoesNotFallBackLocally

Re-ran with this diff applied: identical 6 failures, nothing new, nothing newly passing. Not a surprise if you see the same locally.

Summary by cubic

Fixes sr add codex --device-auth being silently discarded — the flag now triggers the isolated device-auth login instead of always falling back to browser OAuth on localhost:1455. Bare sr add codex is unchanged and still uses browser OAuth, and unknown flags now produce a usage error naming the actual program (sr, subrouter, or cx).

Bug Fixes

  • addProvider parses and validates --device-auth in the codex/openai/chatgpt branch.
  • add now threads the deviceAuth bool through to isolatedCodexLogin.
  • The serving-daemon path now strips the leading codex/openai/chatgpt positional before parseRemoteAddArgs, instead of handing "codex" to a flag.FlagSet that rejected it.
  • Added tests covering the device-auth and bare flows on both paths; six pre-existing test failures on main are unrelated and unchanged.

Written for commit 2d152c8. Summary will update on new commits.

Review in cubic

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added optional device authentication when adding a Codex provider.
    • Use --device-auth to sign in through device-based authentication; without it, the default browser-based login remains available.
    • Device authentication is also supported when adding Codex accounts through a remote serving daemon.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Unsupported options now return a clear usage error that identifies the command being used.

addProvider's codex/openai/chatgpt case called r.add(ctx) and dropped
args[1:] entirely, so --device-auth never reached anything. add() in
turn hardcoded isolatedCodexLogin(ctx, false), so every "sr add codex"
ran the browser OAuth flow regardless of the flag, which is unusable
on a headless box.

Five other entry points (sr account add codex, sr login, sr codex
migrate-isolation, sr codex enroll-isolated, sr server login/sync)
already declare and honor --device-auth, so the capability existed;
this one call site was just unwired.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 2d152

The change correctly adds Codex device-auth handling, but a failing serving-path test could print sensitive account credentials to CI logs. Redact the payload before merge.

Comment thread cmd/subrouter/sr.go
Comment thread cmd/subrouter/sr.go Outdated
The device-auth usage error hardcoded "sr" instead of using
programOrSubrouter(), so it named the wrong binary under the
"subrouter" and "cx" entry points.

When local credentials are served by a protected serving daemon, "sr
add codex" routes to runRemoteAccountCommand's "add" case before
addProvider ever runs. That case forwarded the raw ["codex",
"--device-auth"] tail straight to a flag.FlagSet, which stops parsing
at the first non-flag argument and rejected "codex" itself as an
unexpected argument -- so codex login never completed on this path,
with or without --device-auth. Strip the leading codex/openai/chatgpt
positional the same way the existing kimi/grok cases already do before
handing the remainder to parseRemoteAddArgs.

Do not log the account-import payload.

When the assertion fails, %#v prints the decoded payload and can expose Codex access and refresh tokens. Log only non-sensitive validation state.
