## Summary
- pass split filesystem sandbox policy/cwd through apply_patch contexts,
while omitting legacy-equivalent policies to keep payloads small
- keep the fs helper compatible with legacy Landlock by avoiding helper
read-root permission expansion in that mode and disabling helper network
access
## Root Cause
`d626dc38950fb40a1a5ad0a8ffab2485e3348c53` routed exec-server filesystem
operations through a sandboxed helper. That path forwarded legacy
Landlock into a helper policy shape that could require direct
split-policy enforcement. Sandboxed `apply_patch` hit that edge through
the filesystem abstraction.
The same 0.121 edit-regression path is consistent with #18354: normal
writes route through the `apply_patch` filesystem helper, fail under
sandbox, and then surface the generic retry-without-sandbox prompt.
Fixes#18069Fixes#18354
## Validation
- `cd codex-rs && just fmt`
- earlier branch validation before merging current `origin/main` and
dropping the now-separate PATH fix:
- `cd codex-rs && cargo test -p codex-exec-server`
- `cd codex-rs && cargo test -p codex-core file_system_sandbox_context`
- `cd codex-rs && just fix -p codex-exec-server`
- `cd codex-rs && just fix -p codex-core`
- `git diff --check`
- `cd codex-rs && cargo clean`

## Summary
- preserve a small fs-helper runtime env allowlist (`PATH`, temp vars)
instead of launching the sandboxed helper with an empty env
- add unit coverage for the allowlist and transformed sandbox request
env
- add a Linux smoke test that starts the test exec-server with a fake
`bwrap` on `PATH`, runs a sandboxed fs write through the remote fs
helper path, and asserts that bwrap path was exercised
## Validation
- `cd /tmp/codex-worktrees/fs-helper-env-defaults/codex-rs && export
PATH=$HOME/code/openai/project/dotslash-gen/bin:$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH
&& bazel test --bes_backend= --bes_results_url=
//codex-rs/exec-server:exec-server-file_system-test
--test_filter=sandboxed_file_system_helper_finds_bwrap_on_preserved_path`
- `cd /tmp/codex-worktrees/fs-helper-env-defaults/codex-rs && export
PATH=$HOME/code/openai/project/dotslash-gen/bin:$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH
&& bazel test --bes_backend= --bes_results_url=
//codex-rs/exec-server:exec-server-unit-tests
--test_filter="helper_env|sandbox_exec_request_carries_helper_env"`
- earlier on this branch before the smoke-test harness adjustment: `cd
/tmp/codex-worktrees/fs-helper-env-defaults/codex-rs && export
PATH=$HOME/code/openai/project/dotslash-gen/bin:$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH
&& bazel test --bes_backend= --bes_results_url=
//codex-rs/exec-server:all`

## Summary
- Remove the exec-server-side manual filesystem request path preflight
before invoking the sandbox helper.
- Keep sandbox helper policy construction and platform sandbox
enforcement as the access boundary.
- Add a portable local+remote regression for writing through an
explicitly configured alias root.
- Remove the metadata symlink-escape assertion that depended on the
deleted manual preflight; no replacement metadata-specific access probe
is added.
## Tests
- `cargo test -p codex-exec-server --lib`
- `cargo test -p codex-exec-server --test file_system`
- `git diff --check`
## Summary\n- add an exec-server package-local test helper binary that
can run exec-server and fs-helper flows\n- route exec-server filesystem
tests through that helper instead of cross-crate codex helper
binaries\n- stop relying on Bazel-only extra binary wiring for these
tests\n\n## Testing\n- not run (per repo guidance for codex changes)
