Fixes:
```
[sandbox_workspace_write]
writable_roots = ["~/code/"]
```
translates to
```
/Users/ccunningham/.codex/~/code
```
(i.e. the home dir symbol isn't recognized)
Changes the `writable_roots` field of the `WorkspaceWrite` variant of
the `SandboxPolicy` enum from `Vec<PathBuf>` to `Vec<AbsolutePathBuf>`.
This is helpful because now callers can be sure the value is an absolute
path rather than a relative one. (Though when using an absolute path in
a Seatbelt config policy, we still have to _canonicalize_ it first.)
Because `writable_roots` can be read from a config file, it is important
that we are able to resolve relative paths properly using the parent
folder of the config file as the base path.
This PR attempts to solve two problems by introducing a
`AbsolutePathBuf` type with a special deserializer:
- `AbsolutePathBuf` attempts to be a generally useful abstraction, as it
ensures, by constructing, that it represents a value that is an
absolute, normalized path, which is a stronger guarantee than an
arbitrary `PathBuf`.
- Values in `config.toml` that can be either an absolute or relative
path should be resolved against the folder containing the `config.toml`
in the relative path case. This PR makes this easy to support: the main
cost is ensuring `AbsolutePathBufGuard` is used inside
`deserialize_config_toml_with_base()`.
While `AbsolutePathBufGuard` may seem slightly distasteful because it
relies on thread-local storage, this seems much cleaner to me than using
than my various experiments with
https://docs.rs/serde/latest/serde/de/trait.DeserializeSeed.html.
Further, since the `deserialize()` method from the `Deserialize` trait
is not async, we do not really have to worry about the deserialization
work being spread across multiple threads in a way that would interfere
with `AbsolutePathBufGuard`.
To start, this PR introduces the use of `AbsolutePathBuf` in
`OtelTlsConfig`. Note how this simplifies `otel_provider.rs` because it
no longer requires `settings.codex_home` to be threaded through.
Furthermore, this sets us up better for a world where multiple
`config.toml` files from different folders could be loaded and then
merged together, as the absolutifying of the paths must be done against
the correct parent folder.
