When using another provider, setting the OPENAI_API_KEY should not be necessary. #1005
Description
What version of Codex is running?
0.1.2505171619
Which model were you using?
o4-mini
What platform is your computer?
Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.19045.0 x64
What steps can reproduce the bug?
$env:OPENAI_API_KEY='my existing OpenAI api key'
$env:AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY='my auzre openai service api key'
$env:AZURE_OPENAI_API_VERSION = "2025-01-01-preview"
codexI realized the $env:OPENAI_API_KEY will be used when authenticate to Azure OpenAI Service. I am not expecting this behavior.
I also have a $HOME/.codex/config.json like this.

}What is the expected behavior?
I expected the $env:OPENAI_API_KEY should be ignored when using azure as a provider in codex.
What do you see instead?
I have a workaround to fix this issue:
$env:OPENAI_API_KEY=$env:AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY Additional information
