## Why
On Windows, Codex runs shell commands through a top-level
`powershell.exe -NoProfile -Command ...` wrapper. `execpolicy` was
matching that wrapper instead of the inner command, so prefix rules like
`["git", "push"]` did not fire for PowerShell-wrapped commands even
though the same normalization already happens for `bash -lc` on Unix.
This change makes the Windows shell wrapper transparent to rule matching
while preserving the existing Windows unmatched-command safelist and
dangerous-command heuristics.
## What changed
- add `parse_powershell_command_plain_commands()` in
`shell-command/src/powershell.rs` to unwrap the top-level PowerShell
`-Command` body with `extract_powershell_command()` and parse it with
the existing PowerShell AST parser
- update `core/src/exec_policy.rs` so `commands_for_exec_policy()`
treats top-level PowerShell wrappers like `bash -lc` and evaluates rules
against the parsed inner commands
- carry a small `ExecPolicyCommandOrigin` through unmatched-command
evaluation and expose `is_safe_powershell_words()` /
`is_dangerous_powershell_words()` so Windows safelist and
dangerous-command checks still work after unwrap
- add Windows-focused tests for wrapped PowerShell prompt/allow matches,
wrapper parsing, and unmatched safe/dangerous inner commands, and
re-enable the end-to-end `execpolicy_blocks_shell_invocation` test on
Windows
## Testing
- `cargo test -p codex-shell-command`
## Why
`item/fileChange/outputDelta` text output was only the tool's summary or
error text and not used by client surfaces.
We keep `item/fileChange/outputDelta` in the app-server protocol as a
deprecated compatibility entry, but the server no longer emits it.
## What changed
- stop the `apply_patch` runtime from emitting `ExecCommandOutputDelta`
events
- simplify `item_event_to_server_notification` so command output deltas
always map to `item/commandExecution/outputDelta`
- remove the app-server bookkeeping that tried to detect whether an
output delta belonged to a file change
- mark `item/fileChange/outputDelta` as a deprecated legacy protocol
entry in the v2 types, schema, and README
- simplify the file-change approval tests so they only wait for
completion instead of expecting output-delta notifications
## Testing
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server-protocol`
- `cargo test -p codex-thread-manager-sample`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server-protocol
protocol::event_mapping::tests::exec_command_output_delta_maps_to_command_execution_output_delta
-- --exact`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server
turn_start_file_change_approval_accept_for_session_persists_v2 --
--exact` *(failed before the test assertions because the wiremock
`/responses` mock received 0 requests in setup)*
## Why
After `hooks/list` exposes the hook inventory, clients need a way to
persist user hook preferences, make those changes effective in
already-open sessions, and distinguish user-controllable hooks from
managed requirements without adding another bespoke app-server write
API.
## What
- Extends `hooks/list` entries with effective `enabled` state.
- Persists user-level hook state under `hooks.state.<hook-id>` so the
model can grow beyond a single boolean over time.
- Uses the existing `config/batchWrite` path for hook state updates
instead of introducing a dedicated hook write RPC.
- Refreshes live session hook engines after config writes so
already-open threads observe updated enablement without a restart.

## Reviewer Notes
The generated schema files account for much of the raw diff. The core
behavior is in:
- `hooks/src/config_rules.rs`, which resolves per-hook user state from
the config layer stack.
- `hooks/src/engine/discovery.rs`, which projects effective enablement
into `hooks/list` from source-derived managedness.
- `config/src/hook_config.rs`, which defines the new `hooks.state`
representation.
- `core/src/session/mod.rs`, which rebuilds live hook state after user
config reloads.

## Why
This bug is exposed by Guardian/auto-review approvals. With the managed
network proxy enabled, a blocked network request can be reported back
through the network approval service as an approval denial after the
command has already started. Before this change, the shell and unified
exec runtimes registered those network approval calls, but did not have
a way to observe an async proxy denial as a cancellation/failure signal
for the running process.
The result was confusing: Guardian/auto-review could correctly deny
network access, but the command path could keep running or unregister
the approval without surfacing the denial as the command failure.
## What Changed
- `NetworkApprovalService` now attaches a cancellation token to active
and deferred network approvals.
- Proxy-denial outcomes are recorded only for active registrations,
cancel the owning token, and are consumed when the approval is
finalized.
- The shell runtime combines the normal command timeout with the
network-denial cancellation token.
- Unified exec stores the deferred network approval object, terminates
tracked processes when the proxy denial arrives, and returns the denial
as a process failure while polling or completing the process.
- Tool orchestration passes the active network approval cancellation
token into the sandbox attempt and preserves deferred approval errors
instead of silently unregistering them.
- App-server `command/exec` now handles the combined
timeout-or-cancellation expiration variant used by the runtime.

## Why
After config and requirements store canonical profiles, exec requests
should not cache a derived `SandboxPolicy`. The cached legacy value can
drift from the richer profile state, and most execution paths already
have the filesystem and network runtime policies they need.
## What Changed
- Removes `sandbox_policy` from `codex_sandboxing::SandboxExecRequest`
and `codex_core::sandboxing::ExecRequest`.
- Adds an on-demand `ExecRequest::compatibility_sandbox_policy()` helper
for the Windows and legacy call sites that still need a `SandboxPolicy`
projection.
- Updates Windows filesystem override setup and unified exec policy
serialization to derive that compatibility policy at the boundary.
- Updates Unix escalation reruns and direct shell requests to
reconstruct exec requests from `PermissionProfile` plus runtime
filesystem/network policy, without carrying a cached legacy policy.
- Adjusts sandboxing manager tests to assert the effective profile
rather than the removed legacy field.
## Verification
- `cargo check -p codex-config -p codex-core -p codex-sandboxing -p
codex-app-server -p codex-cli -p codex-tui`
- `cargo test -p codex-sandboxing manager`
- `cargo test -p codex-core
exec_server_params_use_env_policy_overlay_contract`
- `cargo test -p codex-core unix_escalation`
- `cargo test -p codex-core exec::tests`
- `cargo test -p codex-core sandboxing::tests`
## Why
Several execution paths still converted profile-backed permissions into
`SandboxPolicy` and then rebuilt runtime permissions from that legacy
shape. Those round trips are unnecessary after the preceding PRs and can
lose split filesystem semantics. Core approval and escalation should
carry the resolved profile directly.
## What Changed
- Removes `sandbox_policy` from `ResolvedPermissionProfile`; the
resolved permission object now carries the canonical `PermissionProfile`
directly.
- Updates exec-policy fallback, shell/unified-exec interception,
escalation reruns, and related tests to pass profiles instead of legacy
policies.
- Removes legacy additional-permission merge helpers that built an
effective `SandboxPolicy` before rebuilding runtime permissions.
- Keeps legacy projections only at compatibility boundaries that still
require `SandboxPolicy`, not in core permission computation.

## Why
After #19391, `PermissionProfile` and the split filesystem/network
policies could still be stored in parallel. That creates drift risk: a
profile can preserve deny globs, external enforcement, or split
filesystem entries while a cached projection silently loses those
details. This PR makes the profile the runtime source and derives
compatibility views from it.
## What Changed
- Removes stored filesystem/network sandbox projections from
`Permissions` and `SessionConfiguration`; their accessors now derive
from the canonical `PermissionProfile`.
- Derives legacy `SandboxPolicy` snapshots from profiles only where an
older API still needs that field.
- Updates MCP connection and elicitation state to track
`PermissionProfile` instead of `SandboxPolicy` for auto-approval
decisions.
- Adds semantic filesystem-policy comparison so cwd changes can preserve
richer profiles while still recognizing equivalent legacy projections
independent of entry ordering.
- Updates config/session tests to assert profile-derived projections
instead of parallel stored fields.

* #19395
* #19394
* #19393
* __->__ #19392
## Why
This supersedes #19391. During stack repair, GitHub marked #19391 as
merged into a temporary stack branch rather than into `main`, so the
runtime-config change needed a fresh PR.
`PermissionProfile` is now the canonical permissions shape after #19231
because it can distinguish `Managed`, `Disabled`, and `External`
enforcement while also carrying filesystem rules that legacy
`SandboxPolicy` cannot represent cleanly. Core config and session state
still needed to accept profile-backed permissions without forcing every
profile through the strict legacy bridge, which rejected valid runtime
profiles such as direct write roots.
The unrelated CI/test hardening that previously rode along with this PR
has been split into #19683 so this PR stays focused on the permissions
model migration.
## What Changed
- Adds `Permissions.permission_profile` and
`SessionConfiguration.permission_profile` as constrained runtime state,
while keeping `sandbox_policy` as a legacy compatibility projection.
- Introduces profile setters that keep `PermissionProfile`, split
filesystem/network policies, and legacy `SandboxPolicy` projections
synchronized.
- Uses a compatibility projection for requirement checks and legacy
consumers instead of rejecting profiles that cannot round-trip through
`SandboxPolicy` exactly.
- Updates config loading, config overrides, session updates, turn
context plumbing, prompt permission text, sandbox tags, and exec request
construction to carry profile-backed runtime permissions.
- Preserves configured deny-read entries and `glob_scan_max_depth` when
command/session profiles are narrowed.
- Adds `PermissionProfile::read_only()` and
`PermissionProfile::workspace_write()` presets that match legacy
defaults.

* #19393
* #19392
* __->__ #19606
## Why
`sandbox_permissions = "require_escalated"` is treated as an explicit
request to approve the command and run it outside the
filesystem/platform sandbox. Before this change, shell and unified exec
still registered managed network approval context and could inject
Codex-managed proxy state into the child process, which meant an
approved escalated command could still hit a second network approval
path.
This PR makes that escalation boundary consistent: once a command is
explicitly approved to run outside the sandbox, Codex does not also
route that process through the managed network proxy.
## Security impact
Command/filesystem sandbox approval now implies network approval for
that command. If an untrusted command or script is allowed to run with
`require_escalated`, its network calls are unsandboxed: Codex-managed
network allowlists and denylists are not respected for that process, so
the command can exfiltrate any data it can read.
## What changed
- Skip managed network approval specs for
`SandboxPermissions::RequireEscalated`.
- Pass `network: None` into shell, zsh-fork shell, and unified exec
sandbox preparation for explicitly escalated requests.
- Strip Codex-managed proxy environment variables when
`CODEX_NETWORK_PROXY_ACTIVE` is present, while preserving user proxy env
when the Codex marker is absent.
- Add regression coverage for the prepared exec request so the old
behavior cannot silently reappear.
## Verification
- `cargo test -p codex-core explicit_escalation`
- `cargo clippy -p codex-core --all-targets -- -D warnings`
## Why
`ReadOnlyAccess` was a transitional legacy shape on `SandboxPolicy`:
`FullAccess` meant the historical read-only/workspace-write modes could
read the full filesystem, while `Restricted` tried to carry partial
readable roots. The partial-read model now belongs in
`FileSystemSandboxPolicy` and `PermissionProfile`, so keeping it on
`SandboxPolicy` makes every legacy projection reintroduce lossy
read-root bookkeeping and creates unnecessary noise in the rest of the
permissions migration.
This PR makes the legacy policy model narrower and explicit:
`SandboxPolicy::ReadOnly` and `SandboxPolicy::WorkspaceWrite` represent
the old full-read sandbox modes only. Split readable roots, deny-read
globs, and platform-default/minimal read behavior stay in the runtime
permissions model.
## What changed
- Removes `ReadOnlyAccess` from
`codex_protocol::protocol::SandboxPolicy`, including the generated
`access` and `readOnlyAccess` API fields.
- Updates legacy policy/profile conversions so restricted filesystem
reads are represented only by `FileSystemSandboxPolicy` /
`PermissionProfile` entries.
- Keeps app-server v2 compatible with legacy `fullAccess` read-access
payloads by accepting and ignoring that no-op shape, while rejecting
legacy `restricted` read-access payloads instead of silently widening
them to full-read legacy policies.
- Carries Windows sandbox platform-default read behavior with an
explicit override flag instead of depending on
`ReadOnlyAccess::Restricted`.
- Refreshes generated app-server schema/types and updates tests/docs for
the simplified legacy policy shape.

* #19393
* #19392
* #19391
* __->__ #19449
## Why
`PermissionProfile` is becoming the canonical permissions abstraction,
but the old shape only carried optional filesystem and network fields.
It could describe allowed access, but not who is responsible for
enforcing it. That made `DangerFullAccess` and `ExternalSandbox` lossy
when profiles were exported, cached, or round-tripped through app-server
APIs.
The important model change is that active permissions are now a disjoint
union over the enforcement mode. Conceptually:
```rust
pub enum PermissionProfile {
Managed {
file_system: FileSystemSandboxPolicy,
network: NetworkSandboxPolicy,
},
Disabled,
External {
network: NetworkSandboxPolicy,
},
}
```
This distinction matters because `Disabled` means Codex should apply no
outer sandbox at all, while `External` means filesystem isolation is
owned by an outside caller. Those are not equivalent to a broad managed
sandbox. For example, macOS cannot nest Seatbelt inside Seatbelt, so an
inner sandbox may require the outer Codex layer to use no sandbox rather
than a permissive one.
## How Existing Modeling Maps
Legacy `SandboxPolicy` remains a boundary projection, but it now maps
into the higher-fidelity profile model:
- `ReadOnly` and `WorkspaceWrite` map to `PermissionProfile::Managed`
with restricted filesystem entries plus the corresponding network
policy.
- `DangerFullAccess` maps to `PermissionProfile::Disabled`, preserving
the “no outer sandbox” intent instead of treating it as a lax managed
sandbox.
- `ExternalSandbox { network_access }` maps to
`PermissionProfile::External { network }`, preserving external
filesystem enforcement while still carrying the active network policy.
- Split runtime policies that legacy `SandboxPolicy` cannot faithfully
express, such as managed unrestricted filesystem plus restricted
network, stay `Managed` instead of being collapsed into
`ExternalSandbox`.
- Per-command/session/turn grants remain partial overlays via
`AdditionalPermissionProfile`; full `PermissionProfile` is reserved for
complete active runtime permissions.
## What Changed
- Change active `PermissionProfile` into a tagged union: `managed`,
`disabled`, and `external`.
- Keep partial permission grants separate with
`AdditionalPermissionProfile` for command/session/turn overlays.
- Represent managed filesystem permissions as either `restricted`
entries or `unrestricted`; `glob_scan_max_depth` is non-zero when
present.
- Preserve old rollout compatibility by accepting the pre-tagged `{
network, file_system }` profile shape during deserialization.
- Preserve fidelity for important edge cases: `DangerFullAccess`
round-trips as `disabled`, `ExternalSandbox` round-trips as `external`,
and managed unrestricted filesystem + restricted network stays managed
instead of being mistaken for external enforcement.
- Preserve configured deny-read entries and bounded glob scan depth when
full profiles are projected back into runtime policies, including
unrestricted replacements that now become `:root = write` plus deny
entries.
- Regenerate the experimental app-server v2 JSON/TypeScript schema and
update the `command/exec` README example for the tagged
`permissionProfile` shape.
## Compatibility
Legacy `SandboxPolicy` remains available at config/API boundaries as the
compatibility projection. Existing rollout lines with the old
`PermissionProfile` shape continue to load. The app-server
`permissionProfile` field is experimental, so its v2 wire shape is
intentionally updated to match the higher-fidelity model.

- `just fix -p codex-app-server`
## Why
Shell escalation still has adapter code that expects a legacy sandbox
policy, but command approvals should carry the resolved
`PermissionProfile` so callers can reason about the granted permissions
canonically.
## What changed
This introduces profile-shaped resolved escalation permissions while
retaining the derived legacy sandbox policy for the Unix escalation
adapter. It updates approval types, the escalation server protocol, and
tests that inspect escalated command permissions.

## Summary
Lifecycle hooks currently treat `PreToolUse`, `PostToolUse`, and
`PermissionRequest` as Bash-only flows
- hook schema constrains `tool_name` to `Bash`
- hook input assumes a command-shaped `tool_input`
- core hook dispatch path passes only shell command strings
That means hooks cannot target MCP tools even though MCP tool names are
model-visible and stable
This change generalizes those hook paths so they can match and receive
payloads for MCP tools while preserving the existing Bash behavior.
## Reviewer Notes
I think these are the key files
- `codex-rs/core/src/tools/handlers/mcp.rs`
- `codex-rs/core/src/mcp_tool_call.rs`
Otherwise the changes across apply_patch, shell, and unified_exec are
mainly to rewire everything to be `tool_input` based instead of just
`command` so that it'll make sense for MCP tools.
## Changes
- Allow `PreToolUse`, `PostToolUse`, and `PermissionRequest` hook inputs
to carry arbitrary `tool_name` and `tool_input` values instead of
hard-coding `Bash` and command-only payloads.
- Add MCP hook payload support through `McpHandler`, using the
model-visible tool name from `ToolInvocation` and the raw MCP arguments
as `tool_input`.
- Include MCP tool responses in `PostToolUse` by serializing
`McpToolOutput` into the hook response payload.
- Run `PermissionRequest` hooks for MCP approval requests after
remembered approval checks and before falling back to user-facing MCP
elicitation.
- Preserve exact matching for literal hook matchers like `Bash` and
`mcp__memory__create_entities`, while keeping regex matcher support for
patterns like `mcp__memory__.*` and `mcp__.*__write.*`.

## Summary
Allow the user to approve a request_permissions_tool request with the
condition that all commands in the rest of the turn are reviewed by
guardian, regardless of sandbox status.
## Testing
- [x] Added unit tests
- [x] Ran locally
## Summary
Give guardian network-access reviews the command context that triggered
a managed-network approval. The prompt JSON now includes the originating
tool call id, tool name, command argv, cwd, sandbox permissions,
additional permissions, justification, and tty state when a single
active tool call can be attributed.
The implementation keeps the trigger shape canonical by serializing
`GuardianNetworkAccessTrigger` directly and lets each runtime build that
trigger from its `ToolCtx`. Non-guardian approval prompts avoid cloning
the full trigger payload.
## UX changes
Guardian network-access reviews now include a `trigger` object that
explains what command caused the network approval. Instead of seeing
only the requested host, the guardian reviewer can also see the
originating tool call, argv, working directory, sandbox mode,
justification, and tty state.
Example payload the guardian reviewer can see:
```json
{
"tool": "network_access",
"target": "https://api.github.com:443",
"host": "api.github.com",
"protocol": "https",
"port": 443,
"trigger": {
"callId": "call_abc123",
"toolName": "shell",
"command": ["gh", "api", "/repos/openai/codex/pulls/18197"],
"cwd": "/workspace/codex",
"sandboxPermissions": "require_escalated",
"justification": "Fetch PR metadata from GitHub.",
"tty": false
}
}
```
The network review itself remains scoped to the network decision:
`target_item_id` stays `null`. `trigger.callId` is attribution context
only, so clients can still distinguish network reviews from
item-targeted command reviews.
## Verification
- Added coverage for serializing network trigger context in guardian
approval JSON.
- Added regression coverage that network guardian reviews do not reuse
`trigger.callId` as `target_item_id`.

## Why
The exec-server still needs platform sandbox inputs, but the migration
should preserve the `PermissionProfile` that produced them. Keeping only
the derived legacy sandbox map would keep `SandboxPolicy` as the
effective abstraction and would make full-disk vs. restricted profiles
harder to preserve as the permissions stack starts round-tripping
profiles.
`PermissionProfile` entries can also be cwd-sensitive (`:cwd`,
`:project_roots`, relative globs), so the exec-server must carry the
request sandbox cwd instead of resolving those entries against the
long-lived exec-server process cwd.
## What changed
`FileSystemSandboxContext` now carries `permissions: PermissionProfile`
plus an optional `cwd`:
- removed `sandboxPolicy`, `sandboxPolicyCwd`,
`fileSystemSandboxPolicy`, and `additionalPermissions`
- added `permissions` and `cwd`
- kept the platform knobs `windowsSandboxLevel`,
`windowsSandboxPrivateDesktop`, and `useLegacyLandlock`
Core turn and apply-patch paths populate the context from the active
runtime permissions and request cwd. Exec-server derives platform
`SandboxPolicy`/`FileSystemSandboxPolicy` at the filesystem boundary,
adds helper runtime reads there, and rejects cwd-dependent profiles that
arrive without a cwd.
The legacy `FileSystemSandboxContext::new(SandboxPolicy)` constructor
now preserves the old workspace-write conversion semantics for
compatibility tests/callers.

Fixes https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/16732.
## Why
`apply_patch` is Codex's primary file edit path, but it was not emitting
`PreToolUse` or `PostToolUse` hook events. That meant hook-based policy,
auditing, and write coordination could observe shell commands while
missing the actual file mutation performed by `apply_patch`.
The issue also exposed that the hook runtime serialized command hook
payloads with `tool_name: "Bash"` unconditionally. Even if `apply_patch`
supplied hook payloads, hooks would either fail to match it directly or
receive misleading stdin that identified the edit as a Bash tool call.
## What Changed
- Added `PreToolUse` and `PostToolUse` payload support to
`ApplyPatchHandler`.
- Exposed the raw patch body as `tool_input.command` for both
JSON/function and freeform `apply_patch` calls.
- Taught tool hook payloads to carry a handler-supplied hook-facing
`tool_name`.
- Preserved existing shell compatibility by continuing to emit `Bash`
for shell-like tools.
- Serialized the selected hook `tool_name` into hook stdin instead of
hardcoding `Bash`.
- Relaxed the generated hook command input schema so `tool_name` can
represent tools other than `Bash`.
## Verification
Added focused handler coverage for:
- JSON/function `apply_patch` calls producing a `PreToolUse` payload.
- Freeform `apply_patch` calls producing a `PreToolUse` payload.
- Successful `apply_patch` output producing a `PostToolUse` payload.
- Shell and `exec_command` handlers continuing to expose `Bash`.
Added end-to-end hook coverage for:
- A `PreToolUse` hook matching `^apply_patch$` blocking the patch before
the target file is created.
- A `PostToolUse` hook matching `^apply_patch$` receiving the patch
input and tool response, then adding context to the follow-up model
request.
- Non-participating tools such as the plan tool continuing not to emit
`PreToolUse`/`PostToolUse` hook events.
Also validated manually with a live `codex exec` smoke test using an
isolated temp workspace and temp `CODEX_HOME`. The smoke test confirmed
that a real `apply_patch` edit emits `PreToolUse`/`PostToolUse` with
`tool_name: "apply_patch"`, a shell command still emits `tool_name:
"Bash"`, and a denying `PreToolUse` hook prevents the blocked patch file
from being created.
## Summary
This is the runtime/foundation half of the Windows sandbox unified-exec
work.
- add Windows sandbox `unified_exec` session support in
`windows-sandbox-rs` for both:
- the legacy restricted-token backend
- the elevated runner backend
- extend the PTY/process runtime so driver-backed sessions can support:
- stdin streaming
- stdout/stderr separation
- exit propagation
- PTY resize hooks
- add Windows sandbox runtime coverage in `codex-windows-sandbox` /
`codex-utils-pty`
This PR does **not** enable Windows sandbox `UnifiedExec` for product
callers yet because hooking this up to app-server comes in the next PR.
Windows sandbox advertising is intentionally kept aligned with `main`,
so sandboxed Windows callers still fall back to `ShellCommand`.
This PR isolates the runtime/session layer so it can be reviewed
independently from product-surface enablement.

## Summary
This fixes a stale-environment path in shell snapshot restoration. A
sandboxed command can source a shell snapshot that was captured while an
older proxy process was running. If that proxy has died and come back on
a different port, the snapshot can otherwise put old proxy values back
into the command environment, which is how tools like `pip` end up
talking to a dead proxy.
The wrapper now captures the live process environment before sourcing
the snapshot and then restores or clears every proxy env var from the
proxy crate's canonical list. That makes proxy state after shell
snapshot restoration match the current command environment, rather than
whatever proxy values happened to be present in the snapshot. On macOS,
the Codex-generated `GIT_SSH_COMMAND` is refreshed when the SOCKS
listener changes, while custom SSH wrappers are still left alone.

## Why
`PermissionProfile` needs stable, canonical file-system semantics before
it can become the primary runtime permissions abstraction. Without a
canonical form, callers have to keep re-deriving legacy sandbox maps and
profile comparisons remain lossy or order-dependent.
## What changed
This adds canonicalization helpers for `FileSystemPermissions` and
`PermissionProfile`, expands special paths into explicit sandbox
entries, and updates permission request/conversion paths to consume
those canonical entries. It also tightens the legacy bridge so root-wide
write profiles with narrower carveouts are not silently projected as
full-disk legacy access.
## Verification
- `cargo test -p codex-protocol
root_write_with_read_only_child_is_not_full_disk_write -- --nocapture`
- `cargo test -p codex-sandboxing permission -- --nocapture`
- `cargo test -p codex-tui permissions -- --nocapture`
## 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

## Why
We need `PermissionRequest` hook support!
Also addresses:
- https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/16301
- run a script on Hook to do things like play a sound to draw attention
but actually no-op so user can still approve
- can omit the `decision` object from output or just have the script
exit 0 and print nothing
- https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/15311
- let the script approve/deny on its own
- external UI what will run on Hook and relay decision back to codex
## Reviewer Note
There's a lot of plumbing for the new hook, key files to review are:
- New hook added in `codex-rs/hooks/src/events/permission_request.rs`
- Wiring for network approvals
`codex-rs/core/src/tools/network_approval.rs`
- Wiring for tool orchestrator `codex-rs/core/src/tools/orchestrator.rs`
- Wiring for execve
`codex-rs/core/src/tools/runtimes/shell/unix_escalation.rs`
## What
- Wires shell, unified exec, and network approval prompts into the
`PermissionRequest` hook flow.
- Lets hooks allow or deny approval prompts; quiet or invalid hooks fall
back to the normal approval path.
- Uses `tool_input.description` for user-facing context when it helps:
- shell / `exec_command`: the request justification, when present
- network approvals: `network-access <domain>`
- Uses `tool_name: Bash` for shell, unified exec, and network approval
permission-request hooks.
- For network approvals, passes the originating command in
`tool_input.command` when there is a single owning call; otherwise falls
back to the synthetic `network-access ...` command.

## Summary
- route apply_patch runtime execution through the selected Environment
filesystem instead of the local self-exec path
- keep the standalone apply_patch command surface intact while restoring
its launcher/test/docs contract
- add focused apply_patch filesystem sandbox regression coverage
## Validation
- remote devbox Bazel run in progress
- passed: //codex-rs/apply-patch:apply-patch-unit-tests
--test_filter=test_read_file_utf8_with_context_reports_invalid_utf8
- in progress / follow-up: focused core and exec Bazel test slices on
dev
## Follow-up under review
- remote pre-verification and approval/retry behavior still need
explicit scrutiny for delete/update flows
- runtime sandbox-denial classification may need a tighter assertion
path than rendered stderr matching

## Summary
- add an exec-server `envPolicy` field; when present, the server starts
from its own process env and applies the shell environment policy there
- keep `env` as the exact environment for local/embedded starts, but
make it an overlay for remote unified-exec starts
- move the shell-environment-policy builder into `codex-config` so Core
and exec-server share the inherit/filter/set/include behavior
- overlay only runtime/sandbox/network deltas from Core onto the
exec-server-derived env
## Why
Remote unified exec was materializing the shell env inside Core and
forwarding the whole map to exec-server, so remote processes could
inherit the orchestrator machine's `HOME`, `PATH`, etc. This keeps the
base env on the executor while preserving Core-owned runtime additions
like `CODEX_THREAD_ID`, unified-exec defaults, network proxy env, and
sandbox marker env.
## Validation
- `just fmt`
- `git diff --check`
- `cargo test -p codex-exec-server --lib`
- `cargo test -p codex-core --lib unified_exec::process_manager::tests`
- `cargo test -p codex-core --lib exec_env::tests`
- `cargo test -p codex-core --lib exec_env_tests` (compile-only; filter
matched 0 tests)
- `cargo test -p codex-config --lib shell_environment` (compile-only;
filter matched 0 tests)
- `just bazel-lock-update`
## Known local validation issue
- `just bazel-lock-check` is not runnable in this checkout: it invokes
`./scripts/check-module-bazel-lock.sh`, which is missing.

**Summary**
This PR treats Guardian timeouts as distinct from explicit denials in
the core approval paths.
Timeouts now return timeout-specific guidance instead of Guardian
policy-rejection messaging.
It updates the command, shell, network, and MCP approval flows and adds
focused test coverage.
Addresses #17302
Problem: `thread/list` compared cwd filters with raw path equality, so
`resume --last` could miss Windows sessions when the saved cwd used a
verbatim path form and the current cwd did not.
Solution: Normalize cwd comparisons through the existing path comparison
utilities before falling back to direct equality, and add Windows
regression coverage for verbatim paths. I made this a general utility
function and replaced all of the duplicated instance of it across the
code base.
## Summary
- Add `TimedOut` to Guardian/review carrier types:
- `ReviewDecision::TimedOut`
- `GuardianAssessmentStatus::TimedOut`
- app-server v2 `GuardianApprovalReviewStatus::TimedOut`
- Regenerate app-server JSON/TypeScript schemas for the new wire shape.
- Wire the new status through core/app-server/TUI mappings with
conservative fail-closed handling.
- Keep `TimedOut` non-user-selectable in the approval UI.
**Does not change runtime behavior yet; emitting `TimeOut` and
parent-model timeout messaging will come in followup PRs**
## Description
This PR introduces `review_id` as the stable identifier for guardian
reviews and exposes it in app-server `item/autoApprovalReview/started`
and `item/autoApprovalReview/completed` events.
Internally, guardian rejection state is now keyed by `review_id` instead
of the reviewed tool item ID. `target_item_id` is still included when a
review maps to a concrete thread item, but it is no longer overloaded as
the review lifecycle identifier.
## Motivation
We'd like to give users the ability to preempt a guardian review while
it's running (approve or decline).
However, we can't implement the API that allows the user to override a
running guardian review because we didn't have a unique `review_id` per
guardian review. Using `target_item_id` is not correct since:
- with execve reviews, there can be multiple execve calls (and therefore
guardian reviews) per shell command
- with network policy reviews, there is no target item ID
The PR that actually implements user overrides will use `review_id` as
the stable identifier.
## Summary
- preserve legacy Windows elevated sandbox behavior for existing
policies
- add elevated-only support for split filesystem policies that can be
represented as readable-root overrides, writable-root overrides, and
extra deny-write carveouts
- resolve those elevated filesystem overrides during sandbox transform
and thread them through setup and policy refresh
- keep failing closed for explicit unreadable (`none`) carveouts and
reopened writable descendants under read-only carveouts
- for explicit read-only-under-writable-root carveouts, materialize
missing carveout directories during elevated setup before applying the
deny-write ACL
- document the elevated vs restricted-token support split in the core
README
## Example
Given a split filesystem policy like:
```toml
":root" = "read"
":cwd" = "write"
"./docs" = "read"
"C:/scratch" = "write"
```
the elevated backend now provisions the readable-root overrides,
writable-root overrides, and extra deny-write carveouts during setup and
refresh instead of collapsing back to the legacy workspace-only shape.
If a read-only carveout under a writable root is missing at setup time,
elevated setup creates that carveout as an empty directory before
applying its deny-write ACE; otherwise the sandboxed command could
create it later and bypass the carveout. This is only for explicit
policy carveouts. Best-effort workspace protections like `.codex/` and
`.agents/` still skip missing directories.
A policy like:
```toml
"/workspace" = "write"
"/workspace/docs" = "read"
"/workspace/docs/tmp" = "write"
```
still fails closed, because the elevated backend does not reopen
writable descendants under read-only carveouts yet.

## Summary
- detect remote exec-server sessions in the unified-exec runtime
- bypass the local shell-snapshot bootstrap only for those remote
sessions
- preserve existing local snapshot wrapping, PowerShell UTF-8 prefixing,
sandbox orchestration, and zsh-fork handling
## Why
The shell snapshot file is currently captured and stored next to Core.
If Core wraps a remote command with `. /path/to/local/snapshot`, the
process starts on the executor and tries to source a path from the
orchestrator filesystem. This keeps remote commands from receiving that
known-local path until shell snapshots are captured/restored on the
executor side.
## Validation
- `just fmt`
- `git diff --check`
- `cargo test -p codex-core --lib tools::runtimes::tests`
Co-authored-by: Codex <noreply@openai.com>
## Summary
- Carry `AbsolutePathBuf` through tool cwd parsing/resolution instead of
resolving workdirs to raw `PathBuf`s.
- Type exec/sandbox request cwd fields as `AbsolutePathBuf` through
`ExecParams`, `ExecRequest`, `SandboxCommand`, and unified exec runtime
requests.
- Keep `PathBuf` conversions at external/event boundaries and update
existing tests/fixtures for the typed cwd.
## Validation
- `cargo check -p codex-core --tests`
- `cargo check -p codex-sandboxing --tests`
- `cargo test -p codex-sandboxing`
- `cargo test -p codex-core --lib tools::handlers::`
- `just fix -p codex-sandboxing`
- `just fix -p codex-core`
- `just fmt`
Full `codex-core` test suite was not run locally; per repo guidance I
kept local validation targeted.
## Summary
- run apply_patch through the executor filesystem when a remote
environment is present instead of shelling out to the local process
- thread the executor FileSystem into apply_patch interception and keep
existing local behavior for non-remote turns
- make the apply_patch integration harness use the executor filesystem
for setup/assertions
- add remote-aware skips for turn-diff coverage that still reads the
test-runner filesystem
## Why
Remote apply_patch needed to mutate the remote workspace instead of the
local checkout. The tests also needed to seed and assert workspace state
through the same filesystem abstraction so local and remote runs
exercise the same behavior.
## Validation
- `just fmt`
- `git diff --check`
- `cargo check -p core_test_support --tests`
- `cargo test -p codex-core --test all
suite::shell_serialization::apply_patch_custom_tool_call -- --nocapture`
- `cargo test -p codex-core --test all
suite::apply_patch_cli::apply_patch_cli_updates_file_appends_trailing_newline
-- --nocapture`
- remote `cargo test -p codex-core --test all apply_patch_cli --
--nocapture` (229 passed)
- Migrate apply-patch verification and application internals to use the
async `ExecutorFileSystem` abstraction from `exec-server`.
- Convert apply-patch `cwd` handling to `AbsolutePathBuf` through the
verifier/parser/handler boundary.
Doesn't change how the tool itself works.
Addresses #15527
Problem: Nested `codex exec` commands could source a shell snapshot that
re-exported the parent `CODEX_THREAD_ID`, so commands inside the nested
session were attributed to the wrong thread.
Solution: Reapply the live command env's `CODEX_THREAD_ID` after
sourcing the snapshot.
## Summary
- reduce public module visibility across Rust crates, preferring private
or crate-private modules with explicit crate-root public exports
- update external call sites and tests to use the intended public crate
APIs instead of reaching through module trees
- add the module visibility guideline to AGENTS.md
## Validation
- `cargo check --workspace --all-targets --message-format=short` passed
before the final fix/format pass
- `just fix` completed successfully
- `just fmt` completed successfully
- `git diff --check` passed
## Summary
- make `CODEX_EXEC_SERVER_URL=none` map to an explicit disabled
environment mode instead of inferring from a missing URL
- expose environment capabilities (`exec_enabled`, `filesystem_enabled`)
so tool building can gate behavior explicitly and future
multi-environment work has a clearer seam
- suppress env-backed tools when the relevant capability is unavailable,
including exec tools, `js_repl`, `apply_patch`, `list_dir`, and
`view_image`
- keep handler/runtime backstops so disabled environments still reject
execution if a tool path somehow bypasses registration
## Testing
- `just fmt`
- `cargo test -p codex-exec-server`
- `cargo test -p codex-tools
disabled_environment_omits_environment_backed_tools`
- `cargo test -p codex-tools
environment_capabilities_gate_exec_and_filesystem_tools_independently`
- remote devbox Bazel build via `codex-applied-devbox`:
`//codex-rs/cli:cli`
Stacked on #16508.
This removes the temporary `codex-core` / `codex-login` re-export shims
from the ownership split and rewrites callsites to import directly from
`codex-model-provider-info`, `codex-models-manager`, `codex-api`,
`codex-protocol`, `codex-feedback`, and `codex-response-debug-context`.
No behavior change intended; this is the mechanical import cleanup layer
split out from the ownership move.

## Summary
- split `models-manager` out of `core` and add `ModelsManagerConfig`
plus `Config::to_models_manager_config()` so model metadata paths stop
depending on `core::Config`
- move login-owned/auth-owned code out of `core` into `codex-login`,
move model provider config into `codex-model-provider-info`, move API
bridge mapping into `codex-api`, move protocol-owned types/impls into
`codex-protocol`, and move response debug helpers into a dedicated
`response-debug-context` crate
- move feedback tag emission into `codex-feedback`, relocate tests to
the crates that now own the code, and keep broad temporary re-exports so
this PR avoids a giant import-only rewrite
## Major moves and decisions
- created `codex-models-manager` as the owner for model
cache/catalog/config/model info logic, including the new
`ModelsManagerConfig` struct
- created `codex-model-provider-info` as the owner for provider config
parsing/defaults and kept temporary `codex-login`/`codex-core`
re-exports for old import paths
- moved `api_bridge` error mapping + `CoreAuthProvider` into
`codex-api`, while `codex-login::api_bridge` temporarily re-exports
those symbols and keeps the `auth_provider_from_auth` wrapper
- moved `auth_env_telemetry` and `provider_auth` ownership to
`codex-login`
- moved `CodexErr` ownership to `codex-protocol::error`, plus
`StreamOutput`, `bytes_to_string_smart`, and network policy helpers to
protocol-owned modules
- created `codex-response-debug-context` for
`extract_response_debug_context`, `telemetry_transport_error_message`,
and related response-debug plumbing instead of leaving that behavior in
`core`
- moved `FeedbackRequestTags`, `emit_feedback_request_tags`, and
`emit_feedback_request_tags_with_auth_env` to `codex-feedback`
- deferred removal of temporary re-exports and the mechanical import
rewrites to a stacked follow-up PR so this PR stays reviewable
## Test moves
- moved auth refresh coverage from `core/tests/suite/auth_refresh.rs` to
`login/tests/suite/auth_refresh.rs`
- moved text encoding coverage from
`core/tests/suite/text_encoding_fix.rs` to
`protocol/src/exec_output_tests.rs`
- moved model info override coverage from
`core/tests/suite/model_info_overrides.rs` to
`models-manager/src/model_info_overrides_tests.rs`

## Why
`codex-core` was re-exporting APIs owned by sibling `codex-*` crates,
which made downstream crates depend on `codex-core` as a proxy module
instead of the actual owner crate.
Removing those forwards makes crate boundaries explicit and lets leaf
crates drop unnecessary `codex-core` dependencies. In this PR, this
reduces the dependency on `codex-core` to `codex-login` in the following
files:
```
codex-rs/backend-client/Cargo.toml
codex-rs/mcp-server/tests/common/Cargo.toml
```
## What
- Remove `codex-rs/core/src/lib.rs` re-exports for symbols owned by
`codex-login`, `codex-mcp`, `codex-rollout`, `codex-analytics`,
`codex-protocol`, `codex-shell-command`, `codex-sandboxing`,
`codex-tools`, and `codex-utils-path`.
- Delete the `default_client` forwarding shim in `codex-rs/core`.
- Update in-crate and downstream callsites to import directly from the
owning `codex-*` crate.
- Add direct Cargo dependencies where callsites now target the owner
crate, and remove `codex-core` from `codex-rs/backend-client`.
## Why
`codex-rs/tools/src/lib.rs` already defines the [canonical `codex_tools`
export
surface](https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/bf081b9e286e620d25c1d61cf0f38f74a0f982ce/codex-rs/tools/src/lib.rs#L83-L88)
for `ToolsConfig`, `ToolsConfigParams`, and the shell backend config
types. Re-exporting those same types from `core/src/tools/spec.rs` gives
`codex-core` two import paths for one API and blurs which crate owns
those config definitions.
This PR removes that duplicate path so `codex-core` callsites depend on
`codex_tools` directly.
## What
- Remove the five `codex_tools` re-exports from
`core/src/tools/spec.rs`.
- Update `codex-core` production and test callsites to import
`ShellCommandBackendConfig`, `ToolsConfig`, `ToolsConfigParams`,
`UnifiedExecShellMode`, and `ZshForkConfig` from `codex_tools`.
## Verification
- Ran `cargo test -p codex-core`.
- The package run is currently red in five unrelated config tests in
`core/src/config/config_tests.rs` (`approvals_reviewer_*` and
`smart_approvals_alias_*`), while the tool/spec and shell tests touched
by this import cleanup passed.
## Description
Previously the `action` field on `EventMsg::GuardianAssessment`, which
describes what Guardian is reviewing, was typed as an arbitrary JSON
blob. This PR cleans it up and defines a sum type representing all the
various actions that Guardian can review.
This is a breaking change (on purpose), which is fine because:
- the Codex app / VSCE does not actually use `action` at the moment
- the TUI code that consumes `action` is updated in this PR as well
- rollout files that serialized old `EventMsg::GuardianAssessment` will
just silently drop these guardian events
- the contract is defined as unstable, so other clients have a fair
warning :)
This will make things much easier for followup Guardian work.
## Why
The old guardian review payloads worked, but they pushed too much shape
knowledge into downstream consumers. The TUI had custom JSON parsing
logic for commands, patches, network requests, and MCP calls, and the
app-server protocol was effectively just passing through an opaque blob.
Typing this at the protocol boundary makes the contract clearer.
## Why
`argument-comment-lint` was green in CI even though the repo still had
many uncommented literal arguments. The main gap was target coverage:
the repo wrapper did not force Cargo to inspect test-only call sites, so
examples like the `latest_session_lookup_params(true, ...)` tests in
`codex-rs/tui_app_server/src/lib.rs` never entered the blocking CI path.
This change cleans up the existing backlog, makes the default repo lint
path cover all Cargo targets, and starts rolling that stricter CI
enforcement out on the platform where it is currently validated.
## What changed
- mechanically fixed existing `argument-comment-lint` violations across
the `codex-rs` workspace, including tests, examples, and benches
- updated `tools/argument-comment-lint/run-prebuilt-linter.sh` and
`tools/argument-comment-lint/run.sh` so non-`--fix` runs default to
`--all-targets` unless the caller explicitly narrows the target set
- fixed both wrappers so forwarded cargo arguments after `--` are
preserved with a single separator
- documented the new default behavior in
`tools/argument-comment-lint/README.md`
- updated `rust-ci` so the macOS lint lane keeps the plain wrapper
invocation and therefore enforces `--all-targets`, while Linux and
Windows temporarily pass `-- --lib --bins`
That temporary CI split keeps the stricter all-targets check where it is
already cleaned up, while leaving room to finish the remaining Linux-
and Windows-specific target-gated cleanup before enabling
`--all-targets` on those runners. The Linux and Windows failures on the
intermediate revision were caused by the wrapper forwarding bug, not by
additional lint findings in those lanes.
## Validation
- `bash -n tools/argument-comment-lint/run.sh`
- `bash -n tools/argument-comment-lint/run-prebuilt-linter.sh`
- shell-level wrapper forwarding check for `-- --lib --bins`
- shell-level wrapper forwarding check for `-- --tests`
- `just argument-comment-lint`
- `cargo test` in `tools/argument-comment-lint`
- `cargo test -p codex-terminal-detection`
## Follow-up
- Clean up remaining Linux-only target-gated callsites, then switch the
Linux lint lane back to the plain wrapper invocation.
- Clean up remaining Windows-only target-gated callsites, then switch
the Windows lint lane back to the plain wrapper invocation.
## Why
`PermissionProfile` should only describe the per-command permissions we
still want to grant dynamically. Keeping
`MacOsSeatbeltProfileExtensions` in that surface forced extra macOS-only
approval, protocol, schema, and TUI branches for a capability we no
longer want to expose.
## What changed
- Removed the macOS-specific permission-profile types from
`codex-protocol`, the app-server v2 API, and the generated
schema/TypeScript artifacts.
- Deleted the core and sandboxing plumbing that threaded
`MacOsSeatbeltProfileExtensions` through execution requests and seatbelt
construction.
- Simplified macOS seatbelt generation so it always includes the fixed
read-only preferences allowlist instead of carrying a configurable
profile extension.
- Removed the macOS additional-permissions UI/docs/test coverage and
deleted the obsolete macOS permission modules.
- Tightened `request_permissions` intersection handling so explicitly
empty requested read lists are preserved only when that field was
actually granted, avoiding zero-grant responses being stored as active
permissions.
## Why
This is effectively a follow-up to
[#15812](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/15812). That change
removed the special skill-script exec path, but `skill_metadata` was
still being threaded through command-approval payloads even though the
approval flow no longer uses it to render prompts or resolve decisions.
Keeping it around added extra protocol, schema, and client surface area
without changing behavior.
Removing it keeps the command-approval contract smaller and avoids
carrying a dead field through app-server, TUI, and MCP boundaries.
## What changed
- removed `ExecApprovalRequestSkillMetadata` and the corresponding
`skillMetadata` field from core approval events and the v2 app-server
protocol
- removed the generated JSON and TypeScript schema output for that field
- updated app-server, MCP server, TUI, and TUI app-server approval
plumbing to stop forwarding the field
- cleaned up tests that previously constructed or asserted
`skillMetadata`
## Testing
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server-protocol`
- `cargo test -p codex-protocol`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server-test-client`
- `cargo test -p codex-mcp-server`
- `just argument-comment-lint`
## Why
`SandboxCommand.program` represents an executable path, but keeping it
as `String` forced path-backed callers to run `to_string_lossy()` before
the sandbox layer ever touched the command. That loses fidelity earlier
than necessary and adds avoidable conversions in runtimes that already
have a `PathBuf`.
## What changed
- Changed `SandboxCommand.program` to `OsString`.
- Updated `SandboxManager::transform` to keep the program and argv in
`OsString` form until the `SandboxExecRequest` conversion boundary.
- Switched the path-backed `apply_patch` and `js_repl` runtimes to pass
`into_os_string()` instead of `to_string_lossy()`.
- Updated the remaining string-backed builders and tests to match the
new type while preserving the existing Linux helper `arg0` behavior.
## Verification
- `cargo test -p codex-sandboxing`
- `just argument-comment-lint -p codex-core -p codex-sandboxing`
- `cargo test -p codex-core` currently fails in unrelated existing
config tests: `config::tests::approvals_reviewer_*` and
`config::tests::smart_approvals_alias_*`
