it'd be a good idea to provide some instructions on how to auth codex, as the default account-based flow does a localhost callback that doesn't work (unless I'm missing something)

seems to require toggling a security setting in openai settings for device auth flow and then using codex login --device-auth in the shell

👍 I also worked around it using codex login --device-auth.
