c32e9cfe86 chore: subject docs/*.md to Prettier checks (#4645)
Apparently we were not running our `pnpm run prettier` check in CI, so
many files that were covered by the existing Prettier check were not
well-formatted.

This updates CI and formats the files.

69ac5153d4 fix: replace --api-key with --with-api-key in codex login (#4646)
Previously, users could supply their API key directly via:

```shell
codex login --api-key KEY
```

but this has the drawback that `KEY` is more likely to end up in shell
history, can be read from `/proc`, etc.

This PR removes support for `--api-key` and replaces it with
`--with-api-key`, which reads the key from stdin, so either of these are
better options:

```
printenv OPENAI_API_KEY | codex login --with-api-key
codex login --with-api-key < my_key.txt
```

Other CLIs, such as `gh auth login --with-token`, follow the same
practice.

e13b35ecb0 Simplify auth flow and reconcile differences between ChatGPT and API Key auth (#3189)
This PR does the following:
* Adds the ability to paste or type an API key.
* Removes the `preferred_auth_method` config option. The last login
method is always persisted in auth.json, so this isn't needed.
* If OPENAI_API_KEY env variable is defined, the value is used to
prepopulate the new UI. The env variable is otherwise ignored by the
CLI.
* Adds a new MCP server entry point "login_api_key" so we can implement
this same API key behavior for the VS Code extension.

459363e17b README / docs refactor (#2724)
This PR cleans up the monolithic README by breaking it into a set
navigable pages under docs/ (install, getting started, configuration,
authentication, sandboxing and approvals, platform details, FAQ, ZDR,
contributing, license). The top‑level README is now more concise and
intuitive, (with corrected screenshots).

It also consolidates overlapping content from codex-rs/README.md into
the top‑level docs and updates links accordingly. The codex-rs README
remains in place for now as a pointer and for continuity.

Finally, added an extensive config reference table at the bottom of
docs/config.md.
