## Summary
`cargo test` has entails both running standard Rust tests and doctests.
It turns out that the doctest discovery is fairly slow, and it's a cost
you pay even for crates that don't include any doctests.
This PR disables doctests with `doctest = false` for crates that lack
any doctests.
For the collection of crates below, this speeds up test execution by
>4x.
E.g., before this PR:
```
Benchmark 1: cargo test -p codex-utils-absolute-path -p codex-utils-cache -p codex-utils-cli -p codex-utils-home-dir -p codex-utils-output-truncation -p codex-utils-path -p codex-utils-string -p codex-utils-template -p codex-utils-elapsed -p codex-utils-json-to-toml

```
And after:
```

Range (min … max): 418.0 ms … 436.8 ms 10 runs
```
For a single crate, with >2x speedup, before:
```
Benchmark 1: cargo test -p codex-utils-string
Time (mean ± σ): 491.1 ms ± 9.0 ms [User: 229.8 ms, System: 234.9 ms]
Range (min … max): 480.9 ms … 512.0 ms 10 runs
```
And after:
```
Benchmark 1: cargo test -p codex-utils-string
Time (mean ± σ): 213.9 ms ± 4.3 ms [User: 112.8 ms, System: 84.0 ms]

## Summary
- preserve logical symlink paths during permission normalization and
config cwd handling
- bind real targets for symlinked readable/writable roots in bwrap and
remap carveouts and unreadable roots there
- add regressions for symlinked carveouts and nested symlink escape
masking
## Root cause
Permission normalization canonicalized symlinked writable roots and cwd
to their real targets too early. That drifted policy checks away from
the logical paths the sandboxed process can actually address, while
bwrap still needed the real targets for mounts. The mismatch caused
shell and apply_patch failures on symlinked writable roots.
## Impact
Fixes#15781.
Also fixes#17079:
- #17079 is the protected symlinked carveout side: bwrap now binds the
real symlinked writable-root target and remaps carveouts before masking.
Related to #15157:
- #15157 is the broader permission-check side of this path-identity
problem. This PR addresses the shared logical-vs-canonical normalization
issue, but the reported Darwin prompt behavior should be validated
separately before auto-closing it.
This should also fix#14672, #14694, #14715, and #15725:
- #14672, #14694, and #14715 are the same Linux
symlinked-writable-root/bwrap family as #15781.
- #15725 is the protected symlinked workspace path variant; the PR
preserves the protected logical path in policy space while bwrap applies
read-only or unreadable treatment to the resolved target so
file-vs-directory bind mismatches do not abort sandbox setup.
## Notes
- Added Linux-only regressions for symlinked writable ancestors and
protected symlinked directory targets, including nested symlink escape
masking without rebinding the escape target writable.

Fixes:
```
[sandbox_workspace_write]
writable_roots = ["~/code/"]
```
translates to
```
/Users/ccunningham/.codex/~/code
```
(i.e. the home dir symbol isn't recognized)
Changes the `writable_roots` field of the `WorkspaceWrite` variant of
the `SandboxPolicy` enum from `Vec<PathBuf>` to `Vec<AbsolutePathBuf>`.
This is helpful because now callers can be sure the value is an absolute
path rather than a relative one. (Though when using an absolute path in
a Seatbelt config policy, we still have to _canonicalize_ it first.)
Because `writable_roots` can be read from a config file, it is important
that we are able to resolve relative paths properly using the parent
folder of the config file as the base path.
This PR attempts to solve two problems by introducing a
`AbsolutePathBuf` type with a special deserializer:
- `AbsolutePathBuf` attempts to be a generally useful abstraction, as it
ensures, by constructing, that it represents a value that is an
absolute, normalized path, which is a stronger guarantee than an
arbitrary `PathBuf`.
- Values in `config.toml` that can be either an absolute or relative
path should be resolved against the folder containing the `config.toml`
in the relative path case. This PR makes this easy to support: the main
cost is ensuring `AbsolutePathBufGuard` is used inside
`deserialize_config_toml_with_base()`.
While `AbsolutePathBufGuard` may seem slightly distasteful because it
relies on thread-local storage, this seems much cleaner to me than using
than my various experiments with
https://docs.rs/serde/latest/serde/de/trait.DeserializeSeed.html.
Further, since the `deserialize()` method from the `Deserialize` trait
is not async, we do not really have to worry about the deserialization
work being spread across multiple threads in a way that would interfere
with `AbsolutePathBufGuard`.
To start, this PR introduces the use of `AbsolutePathBuf` in
`OtelTlsConfig`. Note how this simplifies `otel_provider.rs` because it
no longer requires `settings.codex_home` to be threaded through.
Furthermore, this sets us up better for a world where multiple
`config.toml` files from different folders could be loaded and then
merged together, as the absolutifying of the paths must be done against
the correct parent folder.
