feat: introduce responses-api-proxy (#4246) Details are in `responses-api-proxy/README.md`, but the key contribution of this PR is a new subcommand, `codex responses-api-proxy`, which reads the auth token for use with the OpenAI Responses API from `stdin` at startup and then proxies `POST` requests to `/v1/responses` over to `https://api.openai.com/v1/responses`, injecting the auth token as part of the `Authorization` header. The expectation is that `codex responses-api-proxy` is launched by a privileged user who has access to the auth token so that it can be used by unprivileged users of the Codex CLI on the same host. If the client only has one user account with `sudo`, one option is to: - run `sudo codex responses-api-proxy --http-shutdown --server-info /tmp/server-info.json` to start the server - record the port written to `/tmp/server-info.json` - relinquish their `sudo` privileges (which is irreversible!) like so: ``` sudo deluser $USER sudo \|\| sudo gpasswd -d $USER sudo \|\| true ``` - use `codex` with the proxy (see `README.md`) - when done, make a `GET` request to the server using the `PORT` from `server-info.json` to shut it down: ```shell curl --fail --silent --show-error "http://127.0.0.1:$PORT/shutdown" ``` To protect the auth token, we: - allocate a 1024 byte buffer on the stack and write `"Bearer "` into it to start - we then read from `stdin`, copying to the contents into the buffer after the prefix - after verifying the input looks good, we create a `String` from that buffer (so the data is now on the heap) - we zero out the stack-allocated buffer using https://crates.io/crates/zeroize so it is not optimized away by the compiler - we invoke `.leak()` on the `String` so we can treat its contents as a `&'static str`, as it will live for the rest of the processs - on UNIX, we `mlock(2)` the memory backing the `&'static str` - when using the `&'static str` when building an HTTP request, we use `HeaderValue::from_static()` to avoid copying the `&str` - we also invoke `.set_sensitive(true)` on the `HeaderValue`, which in theory indicates to other parts of the HTTP stack that the header should be treated with "special care" to avoid leakage: https://github.com/hyperium/http/blob/439d1c50d71e3be3204b6c4a1bf2255ed78e1f93/src/header/value.rs#L346-L376 2025-09-26 08:19:00 -07:00			`[package]`
