What are you trying to accomplish?
For users updating Opencodex to v2.40.0, add a brief guide to set an authentication token, not just ask users to provide one which they might not know what it is.
What prevents this today?
Today I updated Opencodex to v2.40.0, and was prohibited from accessing the dashboard. At first I thought it was a critical bug/config loss during update, but later I used a LLM to scan the codebase and was told it is a new security feature. Thus I asked the LLM to generate a token and save it to config.
But those who do not carefully read changelogs might not be able to figure out how to configure an OPENCODEX_ADMIN_AUTH_TOKEN when seeing the panel popped up in dashboard. Thus I believe a brief guide would help for clarification and better user experience.
What should OpenCodex do?
Add user guide for setting OPENCODEX_ADMIN_AUTH_TOKEN in Opencodex dashboard.
Example usage or interface
- Start OpenCodex
- Open Opencodex dashboard
- Asked to filling OPENCODEX_ADMIN_AUTH_TOKEN
- Know how to generate one and save it to config
- Do not need to provide token every time when opening dashboard
