Without proper `zsh -lc` parsing, we lose some things like proper
command parsing, turn diff tracking, safe command checks, and other
things we expect from raw or `bash -lc` commands.
Implement command safety for PowerShell commands on Windows
This change adds a new Windows-specific command-safety module under
`codex-rs/core/src/command_safety/windows_safe_commands.rs` to strictly
sanitise PowerShell invocations. Key points:
- Introduce `is_safe_command_windows()` to only allow explicitly
read-only PowerShell calls.
- Parse and split PowerShell invocations (including inline `-Command`
scripts and pipelines).
- Block unsafe switches (`-File`, `-EncodedCommand`, `-ExecutionPolicy`,
unknown flags, call operators, redirections, separators).
- Whitelist only read-only cmdlets (`Get-ChildItem`, `Get-Content`,
`Select-Object`, etc.), safe Git subcommands (`status`, `log`, `show`,
`diff`, `cat-file`), and ripgrep without unsafe options.
- Add comprehensive unit tests covering allowed and rejected command
patterns (nested calls, side effects, chaining, redirections).
This ensures Codex on Windows can safely execute discover-only
PowerShell workflows without risking destructive operations.
Certain shell commands are potentially dangerous, and we want to check
for them.
Unless the user has explicitly approved a command, we will *always* ask
them for approval
when one of these commands is encountered, regardless of whether they
are in a sandbox, or what their approval policy is.
The first (of probably many) such examples is `git reset --hard`. We
will be conservative and check for any `git reset`
refactors command_safety files into its own package, so we can add
platform-specific ones
Also creates a windows-specific of `is_known_safe_command` that just
returns false always, since that is what happens today.
