Description

What version of the Codex App are you using (From “About Codex” dialog)?

26.901.41600

What subscription do you have?

API

What platform is your computer?

macOS

What issue are you seeing?

This feature https://x.com/gabrielchua/status/2093884215473713198?s=20 currently is behind "openai login" gate so it's only available to subscription users. I don't believe this feature requires "login" so can we remove the gate and make it available to all users?

I did hack a solution to use chrome remote debugger to remove the login gate and it just works out of the box. So I think simply removing the gate should work.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

What is the expected behavior?

Research direction

Reproduce the custom sidebar sections flow in Codex App using an API account and compare it with the openai login path described in the issue. Trace where the login gate is applied and verify that custom sections work without it for API users; done means the feature is available without requiring openai login.
