# Codex's built-in "openai" model provider cannot have `supports_websockets`
# overridden via `-c` (built-in provider IDs are reserved), and the Responses
# WebSocket transport has a known upstream bug where the handshake can be
# rejected with a 401 even for valid credentials
# (see https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/39578 and
# https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/38638). Work around it the same way
# the gh-aw Codex engine does for its own proxy provider: define a custom
# provider that talks to the same OpenAI endpoint with WebSockets disabled so
# only the HTTPS transport is used.
