[BUG] adversarial-review / review fail with HTTP 400 ('gpt-5.5 requires newer Codex') on CLI 0.130.0

[jianjettfu-oss]

Symptom

/codex:adversarial-review (and presumably /codex:review) fails immediately with:

[codex] Codex error: {"type":"error","status":400,"error":{"type":"invalid_request_error",
  "message":"The 'gpt-5.5' model requires a newer version of Codex. Please upgrade to the latest app or CLI and try again."}}
[codex] Turn failed.

Result file shows: Codex did not return valid structured JSON. — Parse error: <same 400 above>.

Environment

• Codex CLI: 0.120.0 → upgraded to 0.130.0 (latest as of 2026-05-09). Same failure on both.
• Plugin: codex@openai-codex v1.0.4 (latest, reinstalled cleanly to confirm).
• Auth: ChatGPT login active (verified via node scripts/codex-companion.mjs setup --json → ready: true, auth.loggedIn: true).
• ~/.codex/config.toml: model = "gpt-5.5" (default after CLI upgrade).
• Direct codex review --base <ref> works correctly with same model and same config — the issue is plugin-specific.

Reproduction

1. Codex CLI 0.130.0, ChatGPT login, model = \"gpt-5.5\" in config.toml
2. Run /codex:adversarial-review --base <ref> --background (or --wait)
3. Plugin task-thread returns HTTP 400 from Codex API

Root Cause Hypothesis

scripts/codex-companion.mjs adversarial-review (and review) only accept `[--wait|--background|--base|--scope] [focus]` — no `--model` flag (only `task` subcommand accepts `--model`). The companion script falls back to the config.toml default model, which on a freshly-upgraded CLI is `gpt-5.5`. The plugin's task-thread protocol layer apparently doesn't advertise sufficient version to the API for gpt-5.5 dispatch — direct `codex review --base ` (CLI-native, not task-thread) succeeds with the same model and config.

Workaround

Edit `~/.codex/config.toml`: `model = "gpt-5.4"` (older but supported by plugin's task-thread protocol). Revert after invocation.

Suggested Fix

Either:

• Expose `--model ` flag on `review` and `adversarial-review` subcommands (mirror what `task` already does), so users can pin a known-good model per-invocation, or
• Update plugin's task-thread protocol layer to advertise the current Codex version to the API, matching what direct `codex review` does.

Plugin 1.0.4 was published 2026-04-18; gpt-5.5 launched 2026-04-23 — plugin is 5 days behind on protocol compatibility.

Impact

Plugin currently unusable on default-config CLI 0.130.0. New users hitting this immediately after install will get the cryptic "upgrade your CLI" message even though CLI is already at latest.
