Codex fixed it this way:

I'm preparing a minimal patch to replace the waitlist verification function with a no-op that always resolves
successfully, avoiding unreachable domain errors and enabling CLI use without waitlist validation. The patch will
target the exact function in the minified index.js using apply_patch for a clean bypass.
