- resolve the sidepanel contribution-mode test conflict while keeping the new Codex2API assertions\n- update the mail2925 payload test harness for newly added Codex2API and random-subdomain inputs\n- renumber the README quick-start plan headings and strip trailing whitespace from the new tutorial doc
This keeps the existing CPA, SUB2API, and contribution flows intact
while introducing codex2api as a separate source that plugs into
Step 7 and Step 10 through backend APIs instead of page DOM.
The sidepanel now exposes codex2api settings, preserves the built-in
local default through placeholder-only UI, and accepts user-provided
public admin URLs. Step 7 now treats missing or invalid management
secrets as terminal config errors so the flow stops instead of retrying
needlessly.
Constraint: New source must be additive and must not break existing CPA/SUB2API/contribution paths
Rejected: Drive codex2api through admin page button clicks | too brittle against frontend DOM changes
Rejected: Reuse contribution mode as a source surface | violates existing panelMode/runtime-mode boundary
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Reversibility: clean
Directive: Keep codex2api on the protocol path unless its API becomes insufficient; do not add a panel content script without proving the protocol path cannot work
Tested: npm test; targeted codex2api/auth retry loops repeated 40 times; full suite repeated 5 times
Not-tested: Real browser run against a live codex2api instance with a real Admin Secret and OpenAI authorization
- merge the latest dev branch into PR #130 before applying local fixes
- detect visible split OTP inputs even when the page exposes numeric single-character fields
- stop assuming verification success after repeated auth retry-page recovery failures
