Common Config disappears during Codex proxy takeover

Quick fix

Upgrade to cc-switch 4.0.0 or later; its redesigned routing mode preserves other config.toml content during takeover.

Symptom

Section titled “Symptom”
Error output
shared Codex config such as:

  - `[agents]`
  - `[features]`
  - `[memories]`
  - `developer_instructions`
  - other shared/default TOML sections

  can disappear from the live Codex config while proxy takeover is active.

Cause

Section titled “Cause”

In cc-switch 3.14.1, Codex proxy takeover modifies `auth.OPENAI_API_KEY` and `base_url` in the live config in place, rather than rebuilding the file from the active provider configuration. As a result, shared configuration can disappear from `~/.codex/config.toml`. The maintainer said cc-switch 4.0.0 removed generic config fragments and redesigned routing mode: when routing starts, it replaces only the address and placeholder credentials, preserving all other `config.toml` content. Therefore, this issue no longer applies in 4.0.0.

Fix

Section titled “Fix”

  1. Upgrade to cc-switch 4.0.0 or later. The maintainer said the routing mode was redesigned in the new version; if the issue persists after upgrading, provide more information and reopen the issue.
