  • feat: add support for CODEX_SECURE_MODE=1 to restrict process observability (#4220)
    Because the `codex` process could contain sensitive information in
    memory, such as API keys, we add logic so that when
    `CODEX_SECURE_MODE=1` is specified, we avail ourselves of whatever the
    operating system provides to restrict observability/tampering, which
    includes:
    
    - disabling `ptrace(2)`, so it is not possible to attach to the process
    with a debugger, such as `gdb`
    - disabling core dumps
    
    Admittedly, a user with root privileges can defeat these safeguards.
    
    For now, we only add support for this in the `codex` multitool, but we
    may ultimately want to support this in some of the smaller CLIs that are
    buildable out of our Cargo workspace.
