We're loading these from the web on every startup. This puts them in a
local file with a 1hr TTL.
We sign the downloaded requirements with a key compiled into the Codex
CLI to prevent unsophisticated tampering (determined circumvention is
outside of our threat model: after all, one could just compile Codex
without any of these checks).
If any of the following are true, we ignore the local cache and re-fetch
from Cloud:
* The signature is invalid for the payload (== requirements, sign time,
ttl, user identity)
* The identity does not match the auth'd user's identity
* The TTL has expired
* We cannot parse requirements.toml from the payload
This PR makes it possible to disable live web search via an enterprise
config even if the user is running in `--yolo` mode (though cached web
search will still be available). To do this, create
`/etc/codex/requirements.toml` as follows:
```toml
# "live" is not allowed; "disabled" is allowed even though not listed explicitly.
allowed_web_search_modes = ["cached"]
```
Or set `requirements_toml_base64` MDM as explained on
https://developers.openai.com/codex/security/#locations.
### Why
- Enforce admin/MDM/`requirements.toml` constraints on web-search
behavior, independent of user config and per-turn sandbox defaults.
- Ensure per-turn config resolution and review-mode overrides never
crash when constraints are present.
### What
- Add `allowed_web_search_modes` to requirements parsing and surface it
in app-server v2 `ConfigRequirements` (`allowedWebSearchModes`), with
fixtures updated.
- Define a requirements allowlist type (`WebSearchModeRequirement`) and
normalize semantics:
- `disabled` is always implicitly allowed (even if not listed).
- An empty list is treated as `["disabled"]`.
- Make `Config.web_search_mode` a `Constrained<WebSearchMode>` and apply
requirements via `ConstrainedWithSource<WebSearchMode>`.
- Update per-turn resolution (`resolve_web_search_mode_for_turn`) to:
- Prefer `Live → Cached → Disabled` when
`SandboxPolicy::DangerFullAccess` is active (subject to requirements),
unless the user preference is explicitly `Disabled`.
- Otherwise, honor the user’s preferred mode, falling back to an allowed
mode when necessary.
- Update TUI `/debug-config` and app-server mapping to display
normalized `allowed_web_search_modes` (including implicit `disabled`).
- Fix web-search integration tests to assert cached behavior under
`SandboxPolicy::ReadOnly` (since `DangerFullAccess` legitimately prefers
`live` when allowed).
## Summary
I have read the contribution guidelines.
All changes in this PR are limited to text corrections and do not modify
any business logic, runtime behavior, or user-facing functionality.
## Details
This PR fixes several minor typos, including:
- `create` -> `crate`
- `analagous` -> `analogous`
- `apply-patch` -> `apply_patch`
- `codecs` -> `codex`
- ` '/" ` -> ` '/' `
- `Respesent` -> `Represent`
`requirements.toml` should be able to specify rules which always run.
My intention here was that these rules could only ever be restrictive,
which means the decision can be "prompt" or "forbidden" but never
"allow". A requirement of "you must always allow this command" didn't
make sense to me, but happy to be gaveled otherwise.
Rules already applies the most restrictive decision, so we can safely
merge these with rules found in other config folders.
Load requirements from Codex Backend. It only does this for enterprise
customers signed in with ChatGPT.
Todo in follow-up PRs:
* Add to app-server and exec too
* Switch from fail-open to fail-closed on failure
