iceweasel-oai 0131f99fd5 Include legacy deny paths in elevated Windows sandbox setup (#17365)
## Summary

This updates the Windows elevated sandbox setup/refresh path to include
the legacy `compute_allow_paths(...).deny` protected children in the
same deny-write payload pipe added for split filesystem carveouts.

Concretely, elevated setup and elevated refresh now both build
deny-write payload paths from:

- explicit split-policy deny-write paths, preserving missing paths so
setup can materialize them before applying ACLs
- legacy `compute_allow_paths(...).deny`, which includes existing
`.git`, `.codex`, and `.agents` children under writable roots

This lets the elevated backend protect `.git` consistently with the
unelevated/restricted-token path, and removes the old janky hard-coded
`.codex` / `.agents` elevated setup helpers in favor of the shared
payload path.

## Root Cause

The landed split-carveout PR threaded a `deny_write_paths` pipe through
elevated setup/refresh, but the legacy workspace-write deny set from
`compute_allow_paths(...).deny` was not included in that payload. As a
result, elevated workspace-write did not apply the intended deny-write
ACLs for existing protected children like `<cwd>/.git`.

## Notes

The legacy protected children still only enter the deny set if they
already exist, because `compute_allow_paths` filters `.git`, `.codex`,
and `.agents` with `exists()`. Missing explicit split-policy deny paths
are preserved separately because setup intentionally materializes those
before applying ACLs.

## Validation

- `cargo fmt --check -p codex-windows-sandbox`
- `cargo test -p codex-windows-sandbox`
- `cargo build -p codex-cli -p codex-windows-sandbox --bins`
- Elevated `codex exec` smoke with `windows.sandbox='elevated'`: fresh
git repo, attempted append to `.git/config`, observed `Access is
denied`, marker not written, Deny ACE present on `.git`
- Unelevated `codex exec` smoke with `windows.sandbox='unelevated'`:
fresh git repo, attempted append to `.git/config`, observed `Access is
denied`, marker not written, Deny ACE present on `.git`

npm i -g @openai/codex
or brew install --cask codex

Codex CLI is a coding agent from OpenAI that runs locally on your computer.

Codex CLI splash


If you want Codex in your code editor (VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf), install in your IDE.
If you want the desktop app experience, run codex app or visit the Codex App page.
If you are looking for the cloud-based agent from OpenAI, Codex Web, go to chatgpt.com/codex.


Quickstart

Installing and running Codex CLI

Install globally with your preferred package manager:

# Install using npm
npm install -g @openai/codex
# Install using Homebrew
brew install --cask codex

Then simply run codex to get started.

You can also go to the latest GitHub Release and download the appropriate binary for your platform.

Each GitHub Release contains many executables, but in practice, you likely want one of these:

  • macOS
    • Apple Silicon/arm64: codex-aarch64-apple-darwin.tar.gz
    • x86_64 (older Mac hardware): codex-x86_64-apple-darwin.tar.gz
  • Linux
    • x86_64: codex-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz
    • arm64: codex-aarch64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz

Each archive contains a single entry with the platform baked into the name (e.g., codex-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl), so you likely want to rename it to codex after extracting it.
