Research direction

The issue names no source file or test. Start by reproducing the 404 with Codex CLI 0.153.0 under Windows WSL, using the supplied doctor report and ChatGPT backend reachability details, then trace the request path that returns the status. Done means the same setup no longer reports the unexpected 404 and the behavior has regression coverage.
