Codex

inf codex routes Codex through https://api.inference.net/v1 using the OpenAI Responses surface. Codex resolves provider credentials through an env var name, so the key lives in $CODEX_HOME/.env, not inline in the config.

Config files

inf writes fields in ~/.codex/config.toml (TOML) and $CODEX_HOME/.env. Both honor CODEX_HOME. inf owns fields in both files, not the whole files.
