2026-10-24-codex-preview-proxy-signing-keeps-aws-credentials-in-the-proxy-for-supported-requests

Preview proxy signing keeps AWS credentials in the proxy for supported requests. Alpha.1 adds an aws_sigv4 MITM action that re-signs authorized requests carrying placeholder credentials. Credentials stay in the trusted proxy. Supported forms include empty and explicitly unsigned payloads; incompatible scopes, presigned URLs, unsupported streaming signatures and ambiguous framing are rejected.

Channel: preview-or-beta. Half: capability. Date: 2026-10-23.

Operator consequence: Assess supported AWS request forms before retaining a signing shim. The proxy primitive alone does not supply complete local command/snapshot masking, which remains main-only in section 30.
