   For the DeepSeek endpoint in this report, you can keep your normal model
   unchanged and route Codex's fixed codex-auto-review name to
   deepseek-v4-pro through a local gateway.

   Install Swobu and create a codex
   workspace with two explicit Responses routes:

   Route	Backend model	Backend URL
   deepseek-v4-pro	deepseek-v4-pro	your DeepSeek-compatible /v1 URL
   codex-auto-review	deepseek-v4-pro	the same /v1 URL

   Then point Codex at that workspace in ~/.codex/config.toml:

   model = "deepseek-v4-pro"
   model_provider = "swobu"
   
   [model_providers.swobu]
   name = "Swobu"
   wire_api = "responses"
   base_url = "http://127.0.0.1:7926/c/codex/v1"

   Codex does not need an API key for the loopback Swobu endpoint. Configure any
   real backend credential on both Swobu targets.

   I reproduced this route: Codex's model: "codex-auto-review" request reached
   the backend as model: "deepseek-v4-pro".

   This is a gateway workaround, not a Codex fix. The backend must support the
   Responses behavior used by auto-review. It only addresses the model-name
   rejection shown here; it does not repair other full-access or first-party
   auto-review failures.

   Disclosure: I maintain Swobu. If you try this on Desktop 26.721.41059, please
   share whether the review request reaches DeepSeek. For a Swobu-specific failure,
   include the error and backend setup at
   github.com/swobuforge/swobu, and I will
   help investigate.
