jifandGitHub 3ccef20ef4 Skip credential refresh for WindowsApps launch failures (#29637)
## Summary

- keep the child error 1312 credential retry for normal executables
- return WindowsApps/AppX launch errors directly instead of rotating
sandbox credentials and retrying the same command

## Why

Windows AppX activation can return `ERROR_NO_SUCH_LOGON_SESSION` (1312)
even when the sandbox token is healthy. For executables under
`WindowsApps`, refreshing the sandbox account password cannot fix that
activation failure; it only triggers elevated setup before the same
command fails again.

This is a focused follow-up to #29624.

jifandGitHub 4907f0c2c3 Preserve Windows sandbox identity during credential retry (#29624)
## Summary

- recognize stale Windows sandbox credentials from both runner logon and
child startup failures
- refresh credentials once without changing the original command,
permissions, file rules, desktop mode, or managed-network identity
- add a Windows regression test that forces error 1312 and inspects the
real retry arguments

## Why

Elevated unified exec starts commands in two steps:

```text
Codex -> sandbox command runner -> requested command
```

Either process start can fail when Windows invalidates the sandbox logon
session. The child-side failure was previously returned as text, so the
parent could not reliably recognize Windows error 1312.

The existing retry also refreshed credentials with `proxy_enforced =
false`, even when the original request used managed networking. That
could change the selected Windows sandbox identity from offline to
online during the retry.

## How

- carry the failure stage and numeric Windows error code through the
command-runner IPC protocol
- preserve native `CreateProcessAsUserW` error codes instead of parsing
error messages
- keep every retry-sensitive field in one request and use it for both
attempts
- retry exactly once after refreshing credentials, then return the
second failure
- share the retry rule with the elevated capture path

The Windows test injects error 1312 on both attempts and verifies:

- two spawn attempts and one credential refresh
- stale credentials are replaced by refreshed credentials
- both attempts receive the same command, environment, cwd, permissions,
roots, deny paths, TTY settings, and private-desktop mode
- credential refresh receives the original `proxy_enforced` value

## Tests

- `just test -p codex-windows-sandbox`
- the new Windows-only regression test is included in the Windows
nextest CI archive

iceweasel-oaiandGitHub 18fe1d9fe3 [codex] Preserve proxy state for filesystem sandbox helpers (#29671)
## Why

Filesystem helpers intentionally run with a minimal environment that
excludes proxy variables. After filesystem operations started using the
Windows sandbox wrapper, the wrapper derived an empty proxy
configuration from that helper environment and compared it with the
persistent sandbox setup marker. When the marker contained proxy ports,
every filesystem operation appeared to require a firewall update, which
could launch elevated setup, show a UAC or loader dialog, and fail
operations such as `apply_patch` with error 1223.

Filesystem helpers do not use network access, so they should preserve
the proxy/firewall state established by normal sandboxed process
launches.

## What changed

- Add an explicit Windows sandbox proxy-settings mode for reconciling or
preserving persistent proxy state.
- Use preserve mode for filesystem helpers while normal process launches
continue to reconcile proxy settings from their environment.
- Carry the selected proxy state consistently through setup validation,
elevated setup, and non-elevated ACL refreshes.
- Cover wrapper argument propagation and marker-derived proxy
preservation.

## Validation

- `cargo build -p codex-cli --bin codex`
- `just test -p codex-windows-sandbox
preserving_proxy_settings_uses_the_existing_marker`
- `just test -p codex-windows-sandbox windows_wrapper_args_round_trip`
- `just test -p codex-windows-sandbox
setup_request_prefers_explicit_proxy_settings`
- `just test -p codex-sandboxing transform_for_direct_spawn_windows`
- `just test -p codex-exec-server fs_sandbox::tests`
- Ran the same sandboxed `fs/writeFile` reproduction against published
`0.142.0-alpha.6` and the new CLI. The published CLI launched elevated
setup and failed with `ShellExecuteExW ... 1223`; the new CLI completed
without elevation.

Related to #28359.

iceweasel-oaiandGitHub c0b36d234a recover stale Windows sandbox credentials (#27944)
## Why

The elevated Windows sandbox persists dedicated sandbox account
credentials so later commands can launch without reprovisioning. If
those persisted credentials drift from the actual Windows account
password, `CreateProcessWithLogonW` fails with `ERROR_LOGON_FAILURE` and
Codex currently surfaces that as a hard runner launch failure.

This change makes that failure self-healing. When Windows specifically
rejects the sandbox login, Codex now treats the persisted sandbox
credentials as stale, regenerates them through the existing setup path,
and retries the runner launch once.

## What Changed

- Preserve `CreateProcessWithLogonW` failures as a typed runner logon
error so callers can distinguish `ERROR_LOGON_FAILURE` from unrelated
launch failures.
- Add a sandbox credential refresh helper that deletes the persisted
`sandbox_users.json` record and reuses `require_logon_sandbox_creds()`
to reprovision credentials through the established setup flow.
- Retry elevated runner startup after stale-credential failures in both
the legacy elevated capture path and unified exec elevated backend.
- Add focused tests for stale logon failure detection and persisted
sandbox user file removal.

## Validation

- `git diff --check`
- `cargo test -p codex-windows-sandbox`

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`

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.

3cf737e4e3 fix: cancel Windows sandbox on network denial (#19880)
## Why

When Guardian or the sandbox network proxy detects and denies a network
attempt, core cancels the associated execution through `ExecExpiration`.
The Windows sandbox capture path was only forwarding the timeout
component of that expiration state. As a result, a sandboxed Windows
command whose network attempt had already been denied could keep running
until its timeout elapsed rather than terminating promptly in response
to the denial.

This change closes that cancellation-propagation gap for Windows sandbox
execution.

## What changed

- Added `WindowsSandboxCancellationToken` as the cancellation hook
exposed to Windows capture backends.
- Extracted the cancellation token from `ExecExpiration` in core and
passed it to both the direct and elevated Windows sandbox capture paths
alongside the existing timeout.
- Updated direct capture to poll for either process exit, timeout, or
cancellation and to terminate cancelled processes without reporting them
as timed out.
- Updated elevated capture to watch for cancellation and send the
existing `Terminate` IPC frame to the elevated runner. The watcher parks
for 50 ms between checks to bound response latency without a tight busy
wait.
- Added Windows regression coverage for a long-running PowerShell
command: cancellation ends capture before its timeout and does not set
`timed_out`.
- Added a visible skip diagnostic when that PowerShell-dependent
regression test cannot execute, and consolidated the duplicated
expiration-policy branch identified in review.

## Security

This improves enforcement after a denied network attempt has been
attributed to a Windows sandboxed execution: the command no longer
remains alive simply because Windows capture lost the cancellation
signal.

This PR does not claim to make Windows offline mode an airtight
no-network or no-exfiltration boundary. It does not introduce
AppContainer or change how network denial is detected; it makes an
already-detected denial promptly stop the affected sandboxed command.

## Validation

### Commands run

- `just fmt`
- `cargo test -p codex-windows-sandbox`
- `cargo test -p codex-core network_denial`
- `cargo clippy -p codex-core -p codex-windows-sandbox --tests --no-deps
-- -D warnings`
- `just argument-comment-lint -p codex-windows-sandbox -p codex-core`

The new capture regression is `cfg(target_os = "windows")`, so Windows
CI is the execution coverage for that test path. The local macOS test
runs validate the host-runnable crate and core network-denial behavior.

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 c9ff067e31 windows-sandbox: add profile-native elevated APIs (#23714)
## Why

This is the next step after #23167 in the Windows sandbox
`PermissionProfile` migration. The elevated Windows backend still
exposed policy-string entry points, which forced callers to pass a
compatibility `SandboxPolicy` before the command-runner IPC could
receive a profile.

Adding profile-native APIs first keeps the core switch in the next PR
small: reviewers can see that the Windows crate can prepare elevated
setup, capability SIDs, and runner IPC from a resolved
`PermissionProfile` without changing core behavior yet.

## What

- Adds `ElevatedSandboxProfileCaptureRequest` and
`run_windows_sandbox_capture_for_permission_profile_elevated` for
one-shot elevated capture.
- Adds `spawn_windows_sandbox_session_elevated_for_permission_profile`
for unified exec sessions.
- Factors elevated spawn prep through
`prepare_elevated_spawn_context_for_permissions`, so both new APIs
operate from `ResolvedWindowsSandboxPermissions` directly.
- Keeps the existing legacy policy-string APIs as adapters for callers
that have not moved yet.

## Verification

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

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 729bdf3c8d windows-sandbox: send permission profiles to elevated runner (#22918)
## Why

This is the next PR in the Windows sandbox migration stack after #22896.
The bottom PR introduces a Windows-local resolved permissions helper
while existing callers still start from legacy `SandboxPolicy`. This PR
moves the elevated runner IPC boundary to `PermissionProfile`, which
makes the direction of the stack visible without changing the public
core call sites yet.

Because that changes the CLI-to-command-runner message shape, the framed
IPC protocol version is bumped in the same PR so the boundary change is
explicit.

## What changed

- Replaced elevated IPC `policy_json_or_preset`/`sandbox_policy_cwd`
fields with `permission_profile`/`permission_profile_cwd`.
- Bumped the elevated command-runner IPC protocol to
`IPC_PROTOCOL_VERSION = 2` and switched parent/runner frames to use the
shared constant.
- Converted the parent elevated paths from the parsed legacy policy into
a materialized `PermissionProfile` before sending the runner request.
- Added `WindowsSandboxTokenMode` resolution for managed
`PermissionProfile` values and made the runner choose read-only vs
writable-root capability tokens from that resolved profile.
- Rejected disabled, external, unrestricted, and full-disk-write
profiles before token selection.
- Added IPC JSON coverage for tagged `PermissionProfile` payloads and
token-mode unit coverage for the resolved permission helper.

## Verification

- `cargo test -p codex-windows-sandbox`
- `just fix -p codex-windows-sandbox`
- `cargo check -p codex-windows-sandbox --target x86_64-pc-windows-msvc
--tests` was attempted locally but blocked before crate type-checking
because the macOS compiler environment lacks Windows C headers such as
`windows.h` and `assert.h`; GitHub Windows CI is the required
verification for the runner path.

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.

iceweasel-oaiandGitHub 123e78b97b [codex] Fix Windows sandbox git safe.directory for worktrees (#21409)
## Why

Windows sandboxed commands run as a sandbox user, while workspace
repositories are usually owned by the real user. The sandbox compensates
by injecting a temporary Git `safe.directory` entry into the child
environment.

That injection was still broken for linked worktrees because the helper
followed the `.git` file's `gitdir:` pointer and injected the internal
`.git/worktrees/...` location. Git's dubious-ownership check expects the
worktree root instead, so sandboxed Git commands still failed in
worktree-based Codex checkouts.

## What changed

- Treat any `.git` marker, directory or file, as the worktree root for
`safe.directory` injection.
- Keep the safe-directory logic in
`windows-sandbox-rs/src/sandbox_utils.rs` and have the one-shot elevated
path reuse it.
- Add regression coverage for both normal `.git` directories and
gitfile-based worktrees.

## Validation

- `cargo test -p codex-windows-sandbox sandbox_utils::tests`
- `cargo test -p codex-windows-sandbox` built and ran; the new
`sandbox_utils` tests passed, while two pre-existing legacy sandbox
tests failed locally with `Access is denied`:
`session::tests::legacy_non_tty_cmd_emits_output` and
`spawn_prep::tests::legacy_spawn_env_applies_offline_network_rewrite`.

iceweasel-oaiandGitHub cecca5ae06 Improve Windows process management edge cases (#19211)
## Summary

Some improvements to Windows process-management issues from
https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/15578

- bound the elevated runner pipe-connect handshake instead of waiting
forever on blocking pipe connects
- terminate the spawned runner if that handshake fails, so timeout/error
paths do not leave a stray `codex-command-runner.exe`
- loop on partial `WriteFile` results when forwarding stdin in the
elevated runner, so input is not silently truncated
- fix the concrete HANDLE/SID cleanup paths in the runner setup code
- keep draining driver-backed stdout/stderr after exit until the backend
closes, instead of dropping the tail after a fixed 200ms grace period
- reuse `LocalSid` for SID ownership and add more explanatory comments
around the ownership/concurrency-sensitive code paths

## Why

The original PR fixed a lot of Windows session plumbing, but there were
still a few sharp process-lifecycle edges:

- some elevated runner handshakes could block forever
- the new timeout path could still orphan the spawned runner process
- stdin forwarding still assumed a single `WriteFile` consumed the whole
buffer
- a few raw HANDLE/SID error paths still leaked
- driver-backed output could still lose the last chunk of stdout/stderr
on slower backends

## Validation

- `cargo fmt -p codex-windows-sandbox -p codex-utils-pty`
- `cargo test -p codex-utils-pty`
- `cargo test -p codex-windows-sandbox finish_driver_spawn`
- `cargo test -p codex-windows-sandbox runner_`

Ran a local test matrix of unified-exec and shell_tool tests, all
passing

Michael BolinandGitHub 789f387982 permissions: remove legacy read-only access modes (#19449)
## 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.

## Verification

- `cargo check -p codex-app-server-protocol --tests`
- `cargo check -p codex-windows-sandbox --tests`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server-protocol sandbox_policy_`

e787358f70 check PID of named pipe consumer (#19283)
## Why
The elevated Windows command runner currently trusts the first process
that connects to its parent-created named pipes. Tightening the pipe ACL
already narrows who can reach that boundary, but verifying the connected
client PID gives the parent one more fail-closed check: it only accepts
the exact runner process it just spawned.

## What changed
- validate `GetNamedPipeClientProcessId` after `ConnectNamedPipe` and
reject clients whose PID does not match the spawned runner
- also did some code de-duplication to route the one-shot elevated
capture flow in `windows-sandbox-rs/src/elevated_impl.rs` through
`spawn_runner_transport()` so both elevated codepaths use the same pipe
bootstrap and PID validation

Using the transport unification here also reduces duplication in the
elevated Windows IPC bootstrap, so future hardening to the runner
handshake only needs to land in one place.

## Validation
- `cargo test -p codex-windows-sandbox`
- manual testing: one-shot elevated path via `target/debug/codex.exe
exec` running a randomized shell command and confirming captured output
- manual testing: elevated session path via `target/debug/codex.exe -c
'windows.sandbox="elevated"' sandbox windows -- python -u -c ...` with
stdin/stdout round-trips (`READY`, then `GOT:...` for two input lines)

b976e701a8 fix: support split carveouts in windows elevated sandbox (#14568)
## 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.

Michael BolinandGitHub 2e942ce830 ci: sync Bazel clippy lints and fix uncovered violations (#16351)
## Why

Follow-up to #16345, the Bazel clippy rollout in #15955, and the cleanup
pass in #16353.

`cargo clippy` was enforcing the workspace deny-list from
`codex-rs/Cargo.toml` because the member crates opt into `[lints]
workspace = true`, but Bazel clippy was only using `rules_rust` plus
`clippy.toml`. That left the Bazel lane vulnerable to drift:
`clippy.toml` can tune lint behavior, but it cannot set
allow/warn/deny/forbid levels.

This PR now closes both sides of the follow-up. It keeps `.bazelrc` in
sync with `[workspace.lints.clippy]`, and it fixes the real clippy
violations that the newly-synced Windows Bazel lane surfaced once that
deny-list started matching Cargo.

## What Changed

- added `.github/scripts/verify_bazel_clippy_lints.py`, a Python check
that parses `codex-rs/Cargo.toml` with `tomllib`, reads the Bazel
`build:clippy` `clippy_flag` entries from `.bazelrc`, and reports
missing, extra, or mismatched lint levels
- ran that verifier from the lightweight `ci.yml` workflow so the sync
check does not depend on a Rust toolchain being installed first
- expanded the `.bazelrc` comment to explain the Cargo `workspace =
true` linkage and why Bazel needs the deny-list duplicated explicitly
- fixed the Windows-only `codex-windows-sandbox` violations that Bazel
clippy reported after the sync, using the same style as #16353: inline
`format!` args, method references instead of trivial closures, removed
redundant clones, and replaced SID conversion `unwrap` and `expect`
calls with proper errors
- cleaned up the remaining cross-platform violations the Bazel lane
exposed in `codex-backend-client` and `core_test_support`

## Testing

Key new test introduced by this PR:

Michael BolinandGitHub e02fd6e1d3 fix: clean up remaining Windows argument-comment-lint violations (#16071)
## Why

The initial `argument-comment-lint` rollout left Windows on
default-target coverage because there were still Windows-only callsites
failing under `--all-targets`. This follow-up cleans up those remaining
Windows-specific violations so the Windows CI lane can enforce the same
stricter coverage, leaving Linux as the remaining platform-specific
follow-up.

## What changed

- switched the Windows `rust-ci` argument-comment-lint step back to the
default wrapper invocation so it runs full-target coverage again
- added the required `/*param_name*/` annotations at Windows-gated
literal callsites in:
  - `codex-rs/windows-sandbox-rs/src/lib.rs`
  - `codex-rs/windows-sandbox-rs/src/elevated_impl.rs`
  - `codex-rs/tui_app_server/src/multi_agents.rs`
  - `codex-rs/network-proxy/src/proxy.rs`

## Validation

- Windows `argument comment lint` CI on this PR

Michael BolinandGitHub 2ef91b7140 chore: move pty and windows sandbox to Rust 2024 (#15954)
## Why

`codex-utils-pty` and `codex-windows-sandbox` were the remaining crates
in `codex-rs` that still overrode the workspace's Rust 2024 edition.
Moving them forward in a separate PR keeps the baseline edition update
isolated from the follow-on Bazel clippy workflow in #15955, while
making linting and formatting behavior consistent with the rest of the
workspace.

This PR also needs Cargo and Bazel to agree on the edition for
`codex-windows-sandbox`. Without the Bazel-side sync, the experimental
Bazel app-server builds fail once they compile `windows-sandbox-rs`.

## What changed

- switch `codex-rs/utils/pty` and `codex-rs/windows-sandbox-rs` to
`edition = "2024"`
- update `codex-utils-pty` callsites and tests to use the collapsed `if
let` form that Clippy expects under the new edition
- fix the Rust 2024 fallout in `windows-sandbox-rs`, including the
reserved `gen` identifier, `unsafe extern` requirements, and new Clippy
findings that surfaced under the edition bump
- keep the edition bump separate from a larger unsafe cleanup by
temporarily allowing `unsafe_op_in_unsafe_fn` in the Windows entrypoint
modules that now report it under Rust 2024
- update `codex-rs/windows-sandbox-rs/BUILD.bazel` to `crate_edition =
"2024"` so Bazel compiles the crate with the same edition as Cargo

81fa04783a feat(windows-sandbox): add network proxy support (#12220)
## Summary

This PR makes Windows sandbox proxying enforceable by routing proxy-only
runs through the existing `offline` sandbox user and reserving direct
network access for the existing `online` sandbox user.

In brief:

- if a Windows sandbox run should be proxy-enforced, we run it as the
`offline` user
- the `offline` user gets firewall rules that block direct outbound
traffic and only permit the configured localhost proxy path
- if a Windows sandbox run should have true direct network access, we
run it as the `online` user
- no new sandbox identity is introduced

This brings Windows in line with the intended model: proxy use is not
just env-based, it is backed by OS-level egress controls. Windows
already has two sandbox identities:

- `offline`: intended to have no direct network egress
- `online`: intended to have full network access

This PR makes proxy-enforced runs use that model directly.

### Proxy-enforced runs

When proxy enforcement is active:

- the run is assigned to the `offline` identity
- setup extracts the loopback proxy ports from the sandbox env
- Windows setup programs firewall rules for the `offline` user that:
  - block all non-loopback outbound traffic
  - block loopback UDP
  - block loopback TCP except for the configured proxy ports
- optionally allow broader localhost access when `allow_local_binding=1`

So the sandboxed process can only talk to the local proxy. It cannot
open direct outbound sockets or do local UDP-based DNS on its own.The
proxy then performs the real outbound network access outside that
restricted sandbox identity.

### Direct-network runs

When proxy enforcement is not active and full network access is allowed:

- the run is assigned to the `online` identity
- no proxy-only firewall restrictions are applied
- the process gets normal direct network access

### Unelevated vs elevated

The restricted-token / unelevated path cannot enforce per-identity
firewall policy by itself.

So for Windows proxy-enforced runs, we transparently use the logon-user
sandbox path under the hood, even if the caller started from the
unelevated mode. That keeps enforcement real instead of best-effort.

viyatb-oaiandGitHub d950543e65 feat: support restricted ReadOnlyAccess in elevated Windows sandbox (#14610)
## Summary
- support legacy `ReadOnlyAccess::Restricted` on Windows in the elevated
setup/runner backend
- keep the unelevated restricted-token backend on the legacy full-read
model only, and fail closed for restricted read-only policies there
- keep the legacy full-read Windows path unchanged while deriving
narrower read roots only for elevated restricted-read policies
- honor `include_platform_defaults` by adding backend-managed Windows
system roots only when requested, while always keeping helper roots and
the command `cwd` readable
- preserve `workspace-write` semantics by keeping writable roots
readable when restricted read access is in use in the elevated backend
- document the current Windows boundary: legacy `SandboxPolicy` is
supported on both backends, while richer split-only carveouts still fail
closed instead of running with weaker enforcement

## Testing
- `cargo test -p codex-windows-sandbox`
- `cargo check -p codex-windows-sandbox --tests --target
x86_64-pc-windows-msvc`
- `cargo clippy -p codex-windows-sandbox --tests --target
x86_64-pc-windows-msvc -- -D warnings`
- `cargo test -p codex-core windows_restricted_token_`

## Notes
- local `cargo test -p codex-windows-sandbox` on macOS only exercises
the non-Windows stubs; the Windows-targeted compile and clippy runs
provide the local signal, and GitHub Windows CI exercises the runtime
path

iceweasel-oaiandGitHub 95bdea93d2 use framed IPC for elevated command runner (#14846)
## Summary
This is PR 2 of the Windows sandbox runner split.

PR 1 introduced the framed IPC runner foundation and related Windows
sandbox infrastructure without changing the active elevated one-shot
execution path. This PR switches that elevated one-shot path over to the
new runner IPC transport and removes the old request-file bootstrap that
PR 1 intentionally left in place.

After this change, ordinary elevated Windows sandbox commands still
behave as one-shot executions, but they now run as the simple case of
the same helper/IPC transport that later unified_exec work will build
on.

## Why this is needed for unified_exec
Windows elevated sandboxed execution crosses a user boundary: the CLI
launches a helper as the sandbox user and has to manage command
execution from outside that security context. For one-shot commands, the
old request-file/bootstrap flow was sufficient. For unified_exec, it is
not.

Unified_exec needs a long-lived bidirectional channel so the parent can:
- send a spawn request
- receive structured spawn success/failure
- stream stdout and stderr incrementally
- eventually support stdin writes, termination, and other session
lifecycle events

This PR does not add long-lived sessions yet. It converts the existing
elevated one-shot path to use the same framed IPC transport so that PR 3
can add unified_exec session semantics on top of a transport that is
already exercised by normal elevated command execution.

## Scope
This PR:
- updates `windows-sandbox-rs/src/elevated_impl.rs` to launch the runner
with named pipes, send a framed `SpawnRequest`, wait for `SpawnReady`,
and collect framed `Output`/`Exit` messages
- removes the old `--request-file=...` execution path from
`windows-sandbox-rs/src/elevated/command_runner_win.rs`
- keeps the public behavior one-shot: no session reuse or interactive
unified_exec behavior is introduced here

This PR does not:
- add Windows unified_exec session support
- add background terminal reuse
- add PTY session lifecycle management

## Why Windows needs this and Linux/macOS do not
On Linux and macOS, the existing sandbox/process model composes much
more directly with long-lived process control. The parent can generally
spawn and own the child process (or PTY) directly inside the sandbox
model we already use.

Windows elevated sandboxing is different. The parent is not directly
managing the sandboxed process in the same way; it launches across a
different user/security context. That means long-lived control requires
an explicit helper process plus IPC for spawn, output, exit, and later
stdin/session control.

So the extra machinery here is not because unified_exec is conceptually
different on Windows. It is because the elevated Windows sandbox
boundary requires a helper-mediated transport to support it cleanly.

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

iceweasel-oaiandGitHub d0a693e541 windows-sandbox: add runner IPC foundation for future unified_exec (#14139)
# Summary

This PR introduces the Windows sandbox runner IPC foundation that later
unified_exec work will build on.

The key point is that this is intentionally infrastructure-only. The new
IPC transport, runner plumbing, and ConPTY helpers are added here, but
the active elevated Windows sandbox path still uses the existing
request-file bootstrap. In other words, this change prepares the
transport and module layout we need for unified_exec without switching
production behavior over yet.

Part of this PR is also a source-layout cleanup: some Windows sandbox
files are moved into more explicit `elevated/`, `conpty/`, and shared
locations so it is clearer which code is for the elevated sandbox flow,
which code is legacy/direct-spawn behavior, and which helpers are shared
between them. That reorganization is intentional in this first PR so
later behavioral changes do not also have to carry a large amount of
file-move churn.

# Why This Is Needed For unified_exec

Windows elevated sandboxed unified_exec needs a long-lived,
bidirectional control channel between the CLI and a helper process
running under the sandbox user. That channel has to support:

- starting a process and reporting structured spawn success/failure
- streaming stdout/stderr back incrementally
- forwarding stdin over time
- terminating or polling a long-lived process
- supporting both pipe-backed and PTY-backed sessions

The existing elevated one-shot path is built around a request-file
bootstrap and does not provide those primitives cleanly. Before we can
turn on Windows sandbox unified_exec, we need the underlying runner
protocol and transport layer that can carry those lifecycle events and
streams.

# Why Windows Needs More Machinery Than Linux Or macOS

Linux and macOS can generally build unified_exec on top of the existing
sandbox/process model: the parent can spawn the child directly, retain
normal ownership of stdio or PTY handles, and manage the lifetime of the
sandboxed process without introducing a second control process.

Windows elevated sandboxing is different. To run inside the sandbox
boundary, we cross into a different user/security context and then need
to manage a long-lived process from outside that boundary. That means we
need an explicit helper process plus an IPC transport to carry spawn,
stdin, output, and exit events back and forth. The extra code here is
mostly that missing Windows sandbox infrastructure, not a conceptual
difference in unified_exec itself.

# What This PR Adds

- the framed IPC message types and transport helpers for parent <->
runner communication
- the renamed Windows command runner with both the existing request-file
bootstrap and the dormant IPC bootstrap
- named-pipe helpers for the elevated runner path
- ConPTY helpers and process-thread attribute plumbing needed for
PTY-backed sessions
- shared sandbox/process helpers that later PRs will reuse when
switching live execution paths over
- early file/module moves so later PRs can focus on behavior rather than
layout churn

# What This PR Does Not Yet Do

- it does not switch the active elevated one-shot path over to IPC yet
- it does not enable Windows sandbox unified_exec yet
- it does not remove the existing request-file bootstrap yet

So while this code compiles and the new path has basic validation, it is
not yet the exercised production path. That is intentional for this
first PR: the goal here is to land the transport and runner foundation
cleanly before later PRs start routing real command execution through
it.

# Follow-Ups

Planned follow-up PRs will:

1. switch elevated one-shot Windows sandbox execution to the new runner
IPC path
2. layer Windows sandbox unified_exec sessions on top of the same
transport
3. remove the legacy request-file path once the IPC-based path is live

iceweasel-oaiandGitHub 6b3d82daca Use a private desktop for Windows sandbox instead of Winsta0\Default (#14400)
## Summary
- launch Windows sandboxed children on a private desktop instead of
`Winsta0\Default`
- make private desktop the default while keeping
`windows.sandbox_private_desktop=false` as the escape hatch
- centralize process launch through the shared
`create_process_as_user(...)` path
- scope the private desktop ACL to the launching logon SID

## Why
Today sandboxed Windows commands run on the visible shared desktop. That
leaves an avoidable same-desktop attack surface for window interaction,
spoofing, and related UI/input issues. This change moves sandboxed
commands onto a dedicated per-launch desktop by default so the sandbox
no longer shares `Winsta0\Default` with the user session.

The implementation stays conservative on security with no silent
fallback back to `Winsta0\Default`

If private-desktop setup fails on a machine, users can still opt out
explicitly with `windows.sandbox_private_desktop=false`.

## Validation
- `cargo build -p codex-cli`
- elevated-path `codex exec` desktop-name probe returned
`CodexSandboxDesktop-*`
- elevated-path `codex exec` smoke sweep for shell commands, nested
`pwsh`, jobs, and hidden `notepad` launch
- unelevated-path full private-desktop compatibility sweep via `codex
exec` with `-c windows.sandbox=unelevated`

iceweasel-oaiandGitHub 639a5f6c48 copy command-runner to CODEX_HOME so sandbox users can always execute it (#13413)
• Keep Windows sandbox runner launches working from packaged installs by
running the helper from a user-owned runtime location.

On some Windows installs, the packaged helper location is difficult to
use reliably for sandboxed runner launches even though the binaries are
present. This change works around that by copying codex-
command-runner.exe into CODEX_HOME/.sandbox-bin/, reusing that copy
across launches, and falling back to the existing packaged-path lookup
if anything goes wrong.

The runtime copy lives in a dedicated directory with tighter ACLs than
.sandbox: sandbox users can read and execute the runner there, but they
cannot modify it. This keeps the workaround focused on the
command runner, leaves the setup helper on its trusted packaged path,
and adds logging so it is clear which runner path was selected at
launch.

Michael BolinandGitHub abbd74e2be feat: make sandbox read access configurable with ReadOnlyAccess (#11387)
`SandboxPolicy::ReadOnly` previously implied broad read access and could
not express a narrower read surface.
This change introduces an explicit read-access model so we can support
user-configurable read restrictions in follow-up work, while preserving
current behavior today.

It also ensures unsupported backends fail closed for restricted-read
policies instead of silently granting broader access than intended.

## What

- Added `ReadOnlyAccess` in protocol with:
  - `Restricted { include_platform_defaults, readable_roots }`
  - `FullAccess`
- Updated `SandboxPolicy` to carry read-access configuration:
  - `ReadOnly { access: ReadOnlyAccess }`
  - `WorkspaceWrite { ..., read_only_access: ReadOnlyAccess }`
- Preserved existing behavior by defaulting current construction paths
to `ReadOnlyAccess::FullAccess`.
- Threaded the new fields through sandbox policy consumers and call
sites across `core`, `tui`, `linux-sandbox`, `windows-sandbox`, and
related tests.
- Updated Seatbelt policy generation to honor restricted read roots by
emitting scoped read rules when full read access is not granted.
- Added fail-closed behavior on Linux and Windows backends when
restricted read access is requested but not yet implemented there
(`UnsupportedOperation`).
- Regenerated app-server protocol schema and TypeScript artifacts,
including `ReadOnlyAccess`.

## Compatibility / rollout

- Runtime behavior remains unchanged by default (`FullAccess`).
- API/schema changes are in place so future config wiring can enable
restricted read access without another policy-shape migration.

iceweasel-oaiandGitHub aabe0f259c implement per-workspace capability SIDs for workspace specific ACLs (#10189)
Today, there is a single capability SID that allows the sandbox to write
to
* workspace (cwd)
* tmp directories if enabled
* additional writable roots

This change splits those up, so that each workspace has its own
capability SID, while tmp and additional roots, which are
installation-wide, are still governed by the "generic" capability SID

This isolates workspaces from each other in terms of sandbox write
access.
Also allows us to protect <cwd>/.codex when codex runs in a specific
<cwd>

iceweasel-oaiandGitHub d65fe38b2c use a junction for the cwd while read ACLs are being applied (#8444)
The elevated setup synchronously applies read/write ACLs to any
workspace roots.

However, until we apply *read* permission to the full path, powershell
cannot use some roots as a cwd as it needs access to all parts of the
path in order to apply it as the working directory for a command.

The solution is, while the async read-ACL part of setup is running, use
a "junction" that lives in C:\Users\CodexSandbox{Offline|Online} that
points to the cwd.

Once the read ACLs are applied, we stop using the junction.

this PR also removes some dead code and overly-verbose logging, and has
some light refactoring to the ACL-related functions

Anton PanasenkoandGitHub 3429de21b3 feat: introduce ExternalSandbox policy (#8290)
## Description

Introduced `ExternalSandbox` policy to cover use case when sandbox
defined by outside environment, effectively it translates to
`SandboxMode#DangerFullAccess` for file system (since sandbox configured
on container level) and configurable `network_access` (either Restricted
or Enabled by outside environment).

as example you can configure `ExternalSandbox` policy as part of
`sendUserTurn` v1 app_server API:

```
 {
            "conversationId": <id>,
            "cwd": <cwd>,
            "approvalPolicy": "never",
            "sandboxPolicy": {
                  "type": ""external-sandbox",
                  "network_access": "enabled"/"restricted"
            },
            "model": <model>,
            "effort": <effort>,
