## Statements (checkable)
0. OpenAI documents 403 - Country, region, or territory not supported: you are accessing the API from an unsupported country, region, or territory; the supported list is at developers.openai.com/api/docs/supported-countries.  [✓0 ✗0]

## Fix
```text
Check where the calling process actually egresses (cloud region, CI runner, sandbox). Run from infrastructure in a supported country; an agent cannot fix this by retrying.
```
