### What version of the Codex App are you using (From “About Codex” dialog)?
26….1013.40934
### What subscription do you have?
BYOK
### What platform is your computer?
Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.26200.0 x64
### What issue are you seeing?
When I submit a message in Work mode while using BYOK, I get this error:
```text
Error submitting message
Work browser access requires an authenticated account
```
The browser and computer are local resources on my machine. However, the client requires a ChatGPT account identity when initializing local browser/computer automation, even though model inference is configured through BYOK.
Inspection of the installed client suggests that `requireWorkBrowserIdentity` is enabled when `conversationDetailMode` is `STEPS_PROSE`. If a `node_repl` configuration exists but no cached ChatGPT authenticated principal is available, the client throws the error above.
This blocks message submission during tool initialization, before the agent can use any tools.
### What steps can reproduce the bug?
1. Configure a custom Responses API model provider using BYOK authentication, without signing in to a ChatGPT account.
2. Enable local browser/computer automation.
3. Select Work mode.
4. Submit a text message.
Relevant configuration:
```toml
[desktop]
conversationDetailMode = "STEPS_PROSE"
[features]
browser_use = true
browser_use_external = true
computer_use = true
```
Message submission fails with:
```text
Work browser access requires an authenticated account
```
No session ID or token/context usage measurements are available for the failed submission.
### What is the expected behavior?
Work mode should allow BYOK users to submit messages and use their own local browser/computer tools, subject to local permissions and approvals.
A missing ChatGPT account identity should not block message submission when model access is already configured through BYOK.
Switching out of Work mode or disabling local automation removes functionality I want to use and does not resolve the underlying compatibility issue.
