Codex OAuth + CPA/Codex2API Onboarding — low-token runbook

Use when BOSS asks to register/login an OpenAI/Codex OAuth account, verify it via ClawEmail and possibly 5sim SMS, then import the OAuth callback into CPA / CLI Proxy API, Codex2API, or SUB2API.

Safety: BOSS-owned infra/accounts only. Stop for CAPTCHA/security challenge/payment confirmation unless BOSS explicitly approves the next step. Never reveal API keys, passwords, proxy URLs, full phone numbers, OAuth code=, SMS/email codes, admin keys, or tokens; report [REDACTED].

0. Required companion skill

Before ClawEmail work, load:

clawemail-operations

1. Low-token operating mode

Prefer script-driven runs that emit compact JSONL. Only send screenshots or long logs when a gate fails.

Tool/reporting rules

  • Read secrets only from ~/.hermes/env/codex_oauth_onboarding.env; do not paste them into chat.
  • Do not blindly source this env file in shell: values such as CHROME_BIN=/Applications/Google Chrome.app/... may contain spaces and break source if unquoted. For probes/runners, parse KEY=VALUE safely in Python or require quoted values before shell sourcing.
  • Reports should contain: phase, account email, country slug, activation id, high-level status, HTTP status, and redacted error class.
  • Avoid dumping HTML, callback URLs, headers, full 5sim responses, or full phone numbers.
  • Save detailed evidence to references/ or local logs; final response stays concise.

2. Environment constants for BOSS

env: ~/.hermes/env/codex_oauth_onboarding.env
workspace: /Users/chick/.Hermes/workspace
OAuth Chrome CDP default: 9223
ClawEmail Dashboard CDP default: 9224
OAuth profile root: /Users/chick/.Hermes/workspace/browser-profiles/codex-oauth
Dashboard profile: /Users/chick/.Hermes/workspace/browser-profiles/clawemail-dashboard-persistent
Preferred browser proxy when unspecified: socks5://192.168.2.8:1085
Chrome: /Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome

Use visible Google Chrome for OpenAI/Auth pages. Do not use BOSS's personal browser profile.

3. Hard gates — do not skip

  1. Target gate: exactly one target mode: cpa, codex2api, or sub2api. No default if env is empty.
  2. Password gate: CUSTOM_PASSWORD must be set unless BOSS approves generating one.
  3. Proxy gate: verify proxy TCP and OpenAI reachability before browser flow.
  4. Mailbox gate: new ClawEmail sub-mailbox must have external receive enabled before OpenAI signup.
  5. OpenAI identity gate before phone: only buy 5sim if active page is a usable https://auth.openai.com/add-phone for a non-deactivated account.
  6. Country gate before phone buy/submit: OpenAI select value and visible dial code must match target country before buying and again before clicking Continue.
  7. SMS-only gate: if OpenAI resend channel probes as WhatsApp, do not click it; cancel/rotate under SMS-only policy.
  8. Callback state gate: callback state must match generated OAuth state when known.
  9. Payment gate: any Plus/GoPay paid action needs explicit BOSS confirmation.
Need OAuth import?
  ├─ Target CPA available? → prefer CPA (most reliable after 2026-05-10 success)
  ├─ Codex2API requested? → try Codex2API; if token exchange returns unsupported_country_region_territory, switch/fix backend proxy or use CPA
  └─ SUB2API requested? → use original extension/content-script path

Need new OpenAI account?
  ├─ Create ClawEmail sub-mailbox with 8 lowercase letters
  ├─ Enable external receive via Dashboard API
  ├─ Submit email/password, poll ClawEmail code
  └─ If phone page appears → 5sim SMS flow

Already phone-verified account?
  └─ Generate fresh target OAuth URL, login/consent, submit callback to target

5. ClawEmail sub-mailbox gate

BOSS preference: per-run ClawEmail prefix is exactly 8 lowercase letters with no codex prefix, e.g. chickliu.ktqcxzux@claw.163.com.

After creation, enable external receive. Observed Dashboard API base:

https://claw.163.com/mailserv-claw-dashboard/api/v1

Do not use relative /api/v1/... if it returns public ClawEmail HTML. Working sequence: GET <base>/workspaces -> GET <base>/mailboxes?workspaceId=<workspaceId> -> find the target sub-mailbox id -> POST <base>/mailboxes/comm-settings?id=<mailboxId> with the payload above. If controlling the persistent Dashboard Chrome on CDP 9224 fails with Handshake status 403 Forbidden ... remote-allow-origins, use websocket.create_connection(ws_url, suppress_origin=True) or restart Chrome with --remote-allow-origins=*.

Required final values:

{"commLevel":2,"extReceiveType":1,"extSendType":0}

Use Dashboard persistent Chrome/profile for master login, not the disposable OAuth profile. If Dashboard login needs a master QQ mailbox code and the agent cannot retrieve it, ask BOSS. If automating through CDP, Chrome may reject WebSocket Origin unless launched with --remote-allow-origins=*; Python websocket-client can connect with suppress_origin=True. If relative /api/v1/workspaces returns raw/empty data, inspect Dashboard resource URLs and try the full https://claw.163.com/mailserv-claw-dashboard/api/v1/... base before diagnosing mailbox absence; see clawemail-operations reference references/clawemail-dashboard-cdp-origin-and-api-base-pitfalls-2026-05-10.md.

  • references/clawemail-random-suffix-policy-2026-05.md

6. OpenAI email/profile flow

Minimal flow:

fresh OAuth URL / signup page
submit ClawEmail sub-mailbox
submit CUSTOM_PASSWORD
poll ClawEmail inbox/spam for OpenAI code
submit code
fill profile/about-you if shown
continue to phone or OAuth consent

If OpenAI returns account_deactivated, stop that account immediately and do not buy 5sim numbers.

If login recovery hits Incorrect email address or password, invalid_state, stale email verification, or tab ambiguity, stop before buying phone numbers; recover account/page first.

7. 5sim SMS phone flow

Use 5sim SMS activation for product/service openai; do not use WhatsApp receive.

Env/API:

PHONE_SMS_PROVIDER=5sim
FIVE_SIM_OPERATOR=any
FIVE_SIM_PRODUCT=openai
FIVE_SIM_SERVICE=openai
BUY:    /v1/user/buy/activation/{country}/any/openai
CHECK:  /v1/user/check/{activation_id}
FINISH: /v1/user/finish/{activation_id}
CANCEL: /v1/user/cancel/{activation_id}

Country precedence for configured runs:

FIVE_SIM_COUNTRY_ORDER > FIVE_SIM_COUNTRY_ID > vietnam fallback only if both empty

For free-country exploration, ignore stale configured order if BOSS explicitly says unrestricted. Count only real activations with ids toward the budget. no free phones, pre-buy country-gate errors, CDP errors, or OAuth recovery failures are not attempts.

Known mappings:

vietnam -> VN -> 越南 (+84) -> 84
argentina -> AR -> 阿根廷 (+54) -> 54
netherlands -> NL -> 荷兰 (+31) -> 31
indonesia -> ID -> 印度尼西亚 (+62) -> 62
italy -> IT -> 意大利 (+39) -> 39
poland -> PL -> 波兰 (+48) -> 48
spain -> ES -> 西班牙 (+34) -> 34
england -> GB -> 英国 (+44) -> 44
chile -> CL -> 智利 (+56) -> 56
portugal -> PT -> 葡萄牙 (+351) -> 351
germany -> DE -> 德国 (+49) -> 49
romania -> RO -> 罗马尼亚 (+40) -> 40

Phone handling:

OpenAI immediate reject → cancel activation, rotate
No immediate reject → poll 5sim
Before resend → probe channel text/value/aria/title
  ├─ WhatsApp → cancel/rotate (SMS-only)
  └─ SMS/unknown → click resend, poll again
SMS received → submit code, finish activation, verify page leaves phone-verification
Interrupted runner → inspect/cancel active RECEIVED activations immediately

Known result: free-country run succeeded with Vietnam SMS, activation 1006871765, status FINISHED; OpenAI phone verification passed. See references/openai-phone-free-country-vietnam-sms-success-codex2api-region-block-2026-05-10.md.

8. CPA / CLI Proxy API — preferred callback target

CPA succeeded where Codex2API failed. Use this when CPA_VPS_URL and CPA_VPS_PASSWORD are configured.

Derive API origin:

origin = new URL(CPA_VPS_URL).origin
# e.g. http://192.168.2.62:8317/management.html -> http://192.168.2.62:8317

Headers, matching original extension:

Authorization: Bearer [CPA_VPS_PASSWORD]
X-Management-Key: [CPA_VPS_PASSWORD]
Accept: application/json
Content-Type: application/json

Generate OAuth URL:

GET <origin>/v0/management/codex-auth-url
# UI also uses: GET <origin>/v0/management/codex-auth-url?is_webui=true

Extract URL from url|auth_url|authUrl|data.*; extract state from payload or URL.

Submit callback:

POST <origin>/v0/management/oauth-callback
{"provider":"codex","redirect_url":"http://localhost:1455/auth/callback?code=[REDACTED]&state=[REDACTED]"}

Verify:

GET <origin>/v0/management/get-auth-status?state=<state>  -> {"status":"ok"}
GET <origin>/v0/management/auth-files                    -> codex-<email>-free.json active

Do not use root /codex-auth-url or /api/auth/url; they can 404 or return unrelated amp upstream proxy not available.

9. Codex2API target

Generate URL:

POST <origin>/api/admin/oauth/generate-auth-url
Header: X-Admin-Key: [CODEX2API_ADMIN_KEY]
Body: {}

Expected response contains:

{"auth_url":"...","session_id":"..."}

Exchange callback:

POST <origin>/api/admin/oauth/exchange-code
Header: X-Admin-Key: [CODEX2API_ADMIN_KEY]
{"session_id":"...","code":"[REDACTED]","state":"..."}

If callback/token exchange returns unsupported_country_region_territory, browser-side OAuth is not the issue. The backend token exchange path needs a supported outbound proxy or use CPA.

10. SUB2API target

Use original extension/content-script route for SUB2API panel login, group, proxy, priority, and callback exchange. Do not invent direct API endpoints unless re-confirmed from source/UI.

11. Browser/CDP hygiene

Before fresh OAuth recovery:

close stale auth.openai.com / phone-verification / localhost callback tabs
keep only the current intended target tab

Use visible Chrome with isolated profile. Chrome stable may ignore --load-extension; verify extension card/sidepanel if using the extension. Manual CDP flow is acceptable when BOSS only wants registration/OAuth tested; still follow all gates.

When connecting to Chrome CDP with websocket-client, Chrome may reject the WebSocket handshake with 403 Forbidden unless the client sends an allowed Origin or Chrome was launched with --remote-allow-origins=*. Prefer launching automation Chrome with --remote-allow-origins=*; for an already-running CDP instance, pass origin='http://127.0.0.1:<port>' or a matching allowed origin to websocket.create_connection(...) before assuming CDP is down.

12. Plus / GoPay

Default ordinary account test:

PLUS_MODE_ENABLED=false

If Plus is requested:

PLUS_PAYMENT_METHOD=gopay
GOPAY_OTP_SOURCE=manual
GOPAY_OTP empty by default

Stop immediately before paid confirmation and ask BOSS.

13. Verification checklist before final report

  • New mailbox external receive enabled and recorded.
  • OpenAI email verification completed or classified.
  • If phone appeared: all active 5sim orders are FINISHED or CANCELED.
  • If SMS succeeded: OpenAI left phone-verification page.
  • OAuth callback submitted to chosen target.
  • Target has active account/session/auth file.
  • Final report redacts secrets, callback codes, SMS/email codes, full phone numbers, API keys, passwords, proxy strings.
  • If new learning occurred, update this skill or a reference.
