Remote embeddings **require** an OpenAI API key (`OPENAI_API_KEY` or
`models.providers.openai.apiKey`). Codex OAuth only covers chat/completions and
does **not** satisfy embeddings for memory search. If you don't want to set an
API key, use `memorySearch.provider = "local"` or set

### Why does memory search need an OpenAI API key if I already signed in with Codex?
Vector memory search uses **embeddings**. Codex OAuth only covers
chat/completions and does **not** grant embeddings access, so the upstream
memory indexer needs a real OpenAI API key (`OPENAI_API_KEY` or
`models.providers.openai.apiKey`). If you don’t want to set a key, switch to
`memorySearch.provider = "local"` or set `memorySearch.fallback = "none"`.
