iceweasel-oaiandGitHub 0b2e7b5eb1 Improve Windows sandbox setup refresh diagnostics (#26471)
## Why

Users have been seeing opaque Windows sandbox setup refresh failures
such as `windows sandbox: spawn setup refresh`, including reports in
#24391 and #21208. The setup refresh path already runs the Windows
sandbox setup helper, but it was not using the same structured
`setup_error.json` reporting path that elevated setup uses. As a result,
when the helper exited non-zero, Codex only surfaced a generic refresh
status instead of the helper's `SetupFailure` code and message.

## What changed

- Clear stale `setup_error.json` before non-elevated setup refresh
launches the helper.
- When the refresh helper exits non-zero, read the helper-written report
through the existing `report_helper_failure` path.
- Keep a parent-side launch diagnostic for cases where the helper never
starts, including the helper path, cwd, sandbox log path, and spawn
error.
- Clear the setup error report after a successful refresh.
- Add regression coverage for report consumption and stale-report
avoidance.

## Verification

- `cargo test -p codex-windows-sandbox setup::tests::`

AbhinavandGitHub 0ed2735d19 Use Windows setup marker as completion signal (#26074)
# Why

When an organization requires the elevated Windows sandbox, Codex
launches an elevated helper to provision users, configure firewall and
ACL rules, and lock persistent sandbox directories.

We observed that closing the helper after setup started could leave the
machine partially initialized while the TUI still announced **Sandbox
ready**. Model-only turns continued to work, but the first shell command
retried setup and failed with Windows cancellation error `1223`.

This was not an enforcement bypass; command execution continued to fail
closed. The issue was a false readiness signal: `setup_marker.json` was
written during user provisioning, before the remaining setup stages had
completed.

# What

Treat `setup_marker.json` as the commit record for Windows sandbox
setup:

1. Before full or provisioning setup begins, remove the existing marker
and create the final marker path with a protected ACL.
2. Keep the marker empty and therefore invalid while setup is in
progress. Sandbox users cannot read, modify, or replace it.
3. Run every synchronous setup stage.
4. After setup succeeds, write the valid marker contents without
changing its ACL.
5. After the helper exits successfully, verify the existing readiness
check before enabling the sandbox.

If setup is canceled or fails, the marker remains invalid and Codex
reports setup as incomplete instead of announcing readiness.

Refresh-only and read-ACL-only helper runs continue to leave the marker
untouched. The setup version remains `5` to avoid forcing all existing
Windows users through elevated setup again.

# Verification

- Added coverage confirming sandbox users cannot read or modify the
setup marker after elevated setup.
- Added coverage confirming a successful helper exit without complete
setup artifacts is rejected.
- Ran `just test -p codex-windows-sandbox`.

iceweasel-oaiandGitHub cb9178e8b3 Add Windows sandbox provisioning setup command (#24831)
## Why

Some Windows users do not have local admin access, so they cannot
complete the elevated portion of the Windows sandbox setup when Codex
first needs it. This adds an alpha provisioning path that an admin or IT
deployment script can run ahead of time for the Codex user.

The intended managed-deployment shape is:

```powershell
codex sandbox setup --elevated --user "$env:COMPUTERNAME\Alice" --codex-home "C:\Users\Alice\.codex"
```

`--elevated` is treated as the requested sandbox setup level, not as
proof that the process is elevated. The Windows sandbox setup
orchestration still checks that the caller is actually elevated before
launching the helper without a UAC prompt.

## What changed

- Added `codex sandbox setup --elevated` with explicit user selection
via either `--current-user` or `--user ... --codex-home ...`.
- Moved the CLI implementation into `cli/src/sandbox_setup.rs` instead
of growing `cli/src/main.rs`.
- Added a Windows sandbox `ProvisionOnly` helper mode that runs the
elevation-required provisioning work without requiring a workspace cwd
or runtime sandbox policy.
- Reused the existing elevated helper path for creating/updating sandbox
users, configuring firewall/WFP rules, and applying sandbox directory
ACLs.
- Persisted `windows.sandbox = "elevated"` into the target `CODEX_HOME`
so the desktop app does not show the initial sandbox setup banner after
pre-provisioning succeeds.

## Validation

- `cargo fmt -p codex-windows-sandbox -p codex-core -p codex-cli`
- `cargo test -p codex-cli sandbox_setup --target-dir
target\sandbox-setup-check`
- `cargo test -p codex-windows-sandbox
payload_accepts_provision_only_mode --target-dir
target\sandbox-setup-check`
- `git diff --check`
- Manual Windows alpha flow with a standard local user (`Mandi Lavida`):
ran the new setup command from an admin shell, verified the target
`.codex` contents, sandbox marker/secrets, ACLs, firewall rules, and
desktop startup without the sandbox setup banner once experimental
network proxy requirements were disabled.

## Notes

This intentionally does not solve later elevated update coordination for
IT-managed deployments. The setup command can still apply provisioning
updates when run again, but a broader coordination/process story is out
of scope for this alpha.

Michael BolinandGitHub 986c60467b windows-sandbox: pass workspace roots to runner (#24108)
## Why

#23813 switches the Windows sandbox runner path to `PermissionProfile`,
but it still left one runtime anchor for resolving symbolic
`:workspace_roots` entries. That is not enough once a turn has multiple
effective workspace roots: exact entries and deny globs under
`:workspace_roots` need to be materialized for every runtime root before
the command runner chooses token mode or builds ACL plans.

## What Changed

- Replaces the Windows runner/setup `permission_profile_cwd` plumbing
with `workspace_roots: Vec<AbsolutePathBuf>`.
- Resolves Windows-local `PermissionProfile` data with
`materialize_project_roots_with_workspace_roots(...)` instead of the
single-cwd helper.
- Threads `Config::effective_workspace_roots()` through core execution,
unified exec, TUI setup/read-grant flows, app-server setup, app-server
`command/exec`, and `debug sandbox` on Windows.
- Preserves those workspace roots through the zsh-fork escalation
executor instead of rebuilding them from `sandbox_policy_cwd`.
- Makes `ExecRequest::new(...)` and the remaining
`build_exec_request(...)` helper path take
`windows_sandbox_workspace_roots` explicitly so new call sites cannot
silently fall back to `vec![cwd]`.
- Clarifies the `debug sandbox` non-Windows comment: remaining
cwd-dependent resolution still uses `sandbox_policy_cwd`, while
`:workspace_roots` entries are already materialized from config roots.
- Updates elevated runner IPC `SpawnRequest` to send `workspace_roots`
and bumps the framed IPC protocol version to `3` for the payload shape
change.
- Adds Windows-local resolver coverage for expanding exact and glob
`:workspace_roots` entries across multiple roots, plus core helper
coverage proving explicit roots are preserved.

## Verification

- `cargo check -p codex-windows-sandbox -p codex-core -p codex-tui -p
codex-cli -p codex-app-server`
- `cargo test -p codex-windows-sandbox`
- `cargo test -p codex-core windows_sandbox`
- `cargo test -p codex-core unix_escalation`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server windows_sandbox`
- `cargo test -p codex-tui windows_sandbox`
- `cargo test -p codex-cli debug_sandbox`
- `just test -p codex-core unified_exec`
- `just test -p codex-core
build_exec_request_preserves_windows_workspace_roots`
- `env -u CODEX_NETWORK_PROXY_ACTIVE -u
CODEX_NETWORK_ALLOW_LOCAL_BINDING just test -p codex-app-server --lib
command_exec`
- `just test -p codex-windows-sandbox`
- `just test -p codex-exec sandbox`
- `just fix -p codex-core -p codex-app-server -p codex-windows-sandbox`

A local macOS cross-check with `cargo check --target
x86_64-pc-windows-msvc ...` did not reach crate Rust code because native
dependencies require Windows SDK headers (`windows.h` / `assert.h`) in
this environment; Windows CI remains the real target validation.

Two local targeted filters compile but do not run assertions on macOS:
`env -u CODEX_NETWORK_PROXY_ACTIVE -u CODEX_NETWORK_ALLOW_LOCAL_BINDING
just test -p codex-app-server --lib command_exec_processor` matched zero
tests, and `just test -p codex-linux-sandbox landlock` matched zero
tests because the landlock suite is Linux-only.

Michael BolinandGitHub 0a6bc4e687 windows-sandbox: remove SandboxPolicy runner plumbing (#23813)
## Why

The Windows sandbox runner still carried the old `SandboxPolicy`
compatibility path even though core now computes `PermissionProfile`.
That meant Windows command-runner execution could only see the legacy
projection, so profile-only filesystem rules such as deny globs were not
part of the runner input.

## What Changed

- Removed the Windows-local `SandboxPolicy` parser/export and deleted
`windows-sandbox-rs/src/policy.rs`.
- Changed restricted-token capture/session setup, elevated setup,
world-writable audit, read-root grant, and command-runner session APIs
to accept `PermissionProfile` plus the profile cwd.
- Bumped the elevated command-runner IPC protocol to version 2 because
`SpawnRequest` now carries `permission_profile` /
`permission_profile_cwd` instead of the legacy `policy_json_or_preset` /
`sandbox_policy_cwd` fields.
- Updated core exec, unified exec, debug-sandbox, TUI setup/grant flows,
and app-server setup to pass the actual effective `PermissionProfile`.
- Left regression coverage asserting the old IPC policy fields are
absent and the runner serializes tagged `PermissionProfile` JSON.

## Verification

- `cargo test -p codex-windows-sandbox`
- `cargo test -p codex-core windows_sandbox`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server
request_processors::windows_sandbox_processor`
- `just fix -p codex-windows-sandbox -p codex-core -p codex-app-server
-p codex-cli -p codex-tui`
- `just fix -p codex-cli -p codex-tui`
- `just fix -p codex-windows-sandbox -p codex-tui`
- `rg "\\bSandboxPolicy\\b" codex-rs/windows-sandbox-rs` returned no
matches.

Note: `cargo test -p codex-cli` was attempted but did not reach crate
tests because local disk filled while compiling dependencies (`No space
left on device`). The targeted clippy pass compiled the affected CLI/TUI
surfaces afterward.

Michael BolinandGitHub 896ee672cc windows-sandbox: feed setup from resolved permissions (#23167)
## Why

This is the next step in the Windows sandbox migration away from the
legacy `SandboxPolicy` abstraction. #22923 moved write-root and token
decisions onto `ResolvedWindowsSandboxPermissions`, but setup and
identity still accepted `SandboxPolicy` and converted internally. This
PR pushes that conversion outward so the setup path consumes the
resolved Windows permission view directly.

## What Changed

- Changed `SandboxSetupRequest` to carry
`ResolvedWindowsSandboxPermissions` instead of `SandboxPolicy` plus
policy cwd.
- Updated setup refresh/elevation and identity credential preparation to
use resolved permissions for read roots, write roots, network identity,
and deny-write payload planning.
- Removed the production `allow.rs` legacy wrapper; allow-path
computation now takes resolved permissions directly.
- Added a permissions-based world-writable audit entry point while
keeping the existing legacy wrapper for compatibility.
- Updated legacy ACL setup and the core Windows setup bridge to
construct resolved permissions at the boundary.
- Hardened the Windows sandbox integration test helper staging so Bazel
retries can reuse an already-staged helper if a prior sandbox helper
process still has the executable open.

## Verification

- `cargo test -p codex-windows-sandbox`
- `cargo test -p codex-core --test all --no-run`
- `just fix -p codex-windows-sandbox`
- `just fix -p codex-core`
- Attempted `cargo check -p codex-windows-sandbox --target
x86_64-pc-windows-gnullvm`, but the local machine is missing
`x86_64-w64-mingw32-clang`; Windows CI should cover that target.

Michael BolinandGitHub e1ec0eee5f windows-sandbox: drive write roots from resolved permissions (#22923)
## Why

This is the third PR in the Windows sandbox `SandboxPolicy` ->
`PermissionProfile` migration stack.

#22896 introduced `ResolvedWindowsSandboxPermissions`, and #22918 moved
elevated runner IPC to carry `PermissionProfile`. This PR starts moving
the remaining setup/spawn helpers away from asking legacy enum questions
like “is this `WorkspaceWrite`?” and toward resolved runtime permission
questions like “does this profile require write capability roots?”

## What changed

- Added resolved-permissions helpers for network identity and
write-capability detection.
- Moved setup write-root gathering to operate on
`ResolvedWindowsSandboxPermissions`, with the legacy `SandboxPolicy`
wrapper left in place for existing call sites.
- Updated identity setup, elevated capture setup, and world-writable
audit denies to use resolved write roots.
- Updated spawn preparation to carry resolved permissions in
`SpawnContext` and use them for network blocking, setup write roots,
elevated capability SID selection, and legacy capability roots.
- Removed a now-unused legacy write-root helper.

## Verification

- `cargo test -p codex-windows-sandbox`
- `just fix -p codex-windows-sandbox`
- Existing stack checks are green on #22896 and #22918; CI has started
for this PR.

Michael BolinandGitHub 61aae56571 windows-sandbox: share bundled helper lookup (#23735)
## Summary

Follow-up to #23636 review feedback: the Windows sandbox had two copies
of the same bundled-helper lookup order, one for
`codex-command-runner.exe` in `helper_materialization.rs` and one for
`codex-windows-sandbox-setup.exe` in `setup.rs`.

This PR centralizes that lookup in
`helper_materialization::bundled_executable_path_for_exe()` and has
setup reuse it for `codex-windows-sandbox-setup.exe`. The lookup
behavior is unchanged: direct sibling first, package-root
`codex-resources/` when running from `bin/`, then legacy sibling
`codex-resources/`.

## Test plan

- `cargo test -p codex-windows-sandbox`

## Notes

I also attempted `cargo check -p codex-windows-sandbox --target
x86_64-pc-windows-gnullvm`, but this local host is missing
`x86_64-w64-mingw32-clang`.

Michael BolinandGitHub 110b30d545 install: consume Codex package archives (#23636)
## Summary

Standalone installs should exercise the same canonical package archive
layout that release builds produce, rather than unpacking npm platform
packages and reconstructing a parallel install tree.

This updates `install.sh` and `install.ps1` to prefer
`codex-package-<target>.tar.gz` plus `codex-package_SHA256SUMS`
introduced in https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/23635, authenticate
the checksum manifest against GitHub release metadata, verify the
selected package archive against the authenticated manifest, and install
the package archive directly.

## Compatibility Notes

Package installs still leave a compatibility command at `current/codex`
for managed daemon flows, while visible command shims point at
`bin/codex` inside the package layout.

Recent releases that predate package archives still publish per-platform
npm artifacts, so both installers keep a legacy platform npm fallback
for those versions and verify those archives against release metadata
directly.

Releases old enough to publish only the single root
`codex-npm-<version>.tgz` archive are intentionally out of scope. The
installers fail clearly when neither package archives nor per-platform
npm archives are present.

On Windows, the runtime helper lookups now recognize package-layout
installs where `codex.exe` runs from `bin/`, so
`codex-command-runner.exe` and `codex-windows-sandbox-setup.exe` resolve
from the top-level `codex-resources/` directory. The direct-sibling and
older sibling-resource fallbacks are preserved.

## Test plan

- `sh -n scripts/install/install.sh`
- `bash -n scripts/install/install.sh`
- `pwsh -NoProfile -Command '$tokens=$null; $errors=$null; $null =
[System.Management.Automation.Language.Parser]::ParseFile("scripts/install/install.ps1",
[ref]$tokens, [ref]$errors); if ($errors.Count) { $errors | Format-List
*; exit 1 }'`
- `HOME="$home_dir" CODEX_HOME="$tmp_dir/codex-home"
CODEX_INSTALL_DIR="$bin_dir" PATH="$bin_dir:$PATH" sh
scripts/install/install.sh --release 0.125.0`
- Verified the 0.125.0 isolated install leaves the visible command
pointed at `current/codex` and includes the legacy `codex-resources/rg`
payload.
- `cargo test -p codex-windows-sandbox`
- `just fix -p codex-windows-sandbox`

Michael BolinandGitHub 2b4898cc47 windows-sandbox: add resolved permissions helper (#22896)
## Why

The Windows sandbox migration away from the legacy `SandboxPolicy`
abstraction needs a small local bridge before IPC and core wiring can
move to `PermissionProfile`. Leaf helpers currently branch directly on
`WorkspaceWrite`, which spreads legacy assumptions through path planning
and token setup code.

This PR introduces a Windows-local resolved permissions view so those
helpers can ask Windows-specific questions about runtime
filesystem/network permissions without matching on the legacy policy
enum everywhere.

## What changed

- Added `ResolvedWindowsSandboxPermissions` in
`windows-sandbox-rs/src/resolved_permissions.rs`, with legacy
`SandboxPolicy` constructors for the current call sites.
- Moved `allow.rs` writable-root and read-only-subpath planning onto the
resolved permissions type.
- Preserved Windows `TEMP`/`TMP` writable-root behavior when the
effective policy includes writable tmpdir access.
- Avoided resolving Unix `:slash_tmp` or parent-process `TMPDIR` while
computing Windows writable roots.
- Reused the shared allow-path result for setup write-root gathering and
routed network-block selection through the resolved abstraction.

## Verification

- `cargo test -p codex-windows-sandbox`
- `just fix -p codex-windows-sandbox`
- GitHub CI restarted on the amended commit; Windows Bazel is the
required signal for the Windows-only code paths.

46f30d0282 feat(sandbox): add Windows deny-read parity (#18202)
## Why

The split filesystem policy stack already supports exact and glob
`access = none` read restrictions on macOS and Linux. Windows still
needed subprocess handling for those deny-read policies without claiming
enforcement from a backend that cannot provide it.

## Key finding

The unelevated restricted-token backend cannot safely enforce deny-read
overlays. Its `WRITE_RESTRICTED` token model is authoritative for write
checks, not read denials, so this PR intentionally fails that backend
closed when deny-read overrides are present instead of claiming
unsupported enforcement.

## What changed

This PR adds the Windows deny-read enforcement layer and makes the
backend split explicit:

- Resolves Windows deny-read filesystem policy entries into concrete ACL
targets.
- Preserves exact missing paths so they can be materialized and denied
before an enforceable sandboxed process starts.
- Snapshot-expands existing glob matches into ACL targets for Windows
subprocess enforcement.
- Honors `glob_scan_max_depth` when expanding Windows deny-read globs.
- Plans both the configured lexical path and the canonical target for
existing paths so reparse-point aliases are covered.
- Threads deny-read overrides through the elevated/logon-user Windows
sandbox backend and unified exec.
- Applies elevated deny-read ACLs synchronously before command launch
rather than delegating them to the background read-grant helper.
- Reconciles persistent deny-read ACEs per sandbox principal so policy
changes do not leave stale deny-read ACLs behind.
- Fails closed on the unelevated restricted-token backend when deny-read
overrides are present, because its `WRITE_RESTRICTED` token model is not
authoritative for read denials.

## Landed prerequisites

These prerequisite PRs are already on `main`:

1. #15979 `feat(permissions): add glob deny-read policy support`
2. #18096 `feat(sandbox): add glob deny-read platform enforcement`
3. #17740 `feat(config): support managed deny-read requirements`

This PR targets `main` directly and contains only the Windows deny-read
enforcement layer.

## Implementation notes

- Exact deny-read paths remain enforceable on the elevated path even
when they do not exist yet: Windows materializes the missing path before
applying the deny ACE, so the sandboxed command cannot create and read
it during the same run.
- Existing exact deny paths are preserved lexically until the ACL
planner, which then adds the canonical target as a second ACL target
when needed. That keeps both the configured alias and the resolved
object covered.
- Windows ACLs do not consume Codex glob syntax directly, so glob
deny-read entries are expanded to the concrete matches that exist before
process launch.
- Glob traversal deduplicates directory visits within each pattern walk
to avoid cycles, without collapsing distinct lexical roots that happen
to resolve to the same target.
- Persistent deny-read ACL state is keyed by sandbox principal SID, so
cleanup only removes ACEs owned by the same backend principal.
- Deny-read ACEs are fail-closed on the elevated path: setup aborts if
mandatory deny-read ACL application fails.
- Unelevated restricted-token sessions reject deny-read overrides early
instead of running with a silently unenforceable read policy.

## Verification

- `cargo test -p codex-core
windows_restricted_token_rejects_unreadable_split_carveouts`
- `just fmt`
- `just fix -p codex-core`
- `just fix -p codex-windows-sandbox`
- GitHub Actions rerun is in progress on the pushed head.

7c9731c9af Enable --deny-warnings for cargo shear (#21616)
## Summary

In https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/21584, we disabled doctests for
crates that lack any doctests. We can enforce that property via `cargo
shear --deny-warnings`: crates that lack doctests will be flagged if
doctests are enabled, and crates with doctests will be flagged if
doctests are disabled.

A few additional notes:

- By adding `--deny-warnings`, `cargo shear` also flagged a number of
modules that were not reachable at all. Some of those have been removed.
- This PR removes a usage of `windows_modules!` (since `cargo shear` and
`rustfmt` couldn't see through it) in favor of simple `#[cfg(target_os =
"windows")]` macros. As a consequence, many of these files exhibit churn
in this PR, since they weren't being formatted by `rustfmt` at all on
main.
- Again, to make the code more analyzable, this PR also removes some
usages of `#[path = "cwd_junction.rs"]` in favor of a more standard
module structure. The bin sidecar structure is still retained, but,
e.g., `windows-sandbox-rs/src/bin/command_runner.rs‎` was moved to
`windows-sandbox-rs/src/bin/command_runner/main.rs`, and so on.
