## Why #23764 removed Windows resource stamping from `codex-windows-sandbox`, but it also removed the setup helper's UAC manifest. That manifest was doing more than cosmetic version metadata: Microsoft documents `requestedExecutionLevel level="asInvoker"` as the setting that makes an executable run at the same permission level as the process that started it: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/sbscs/application-manifests#trustinfo In the reported session, `codex-windows-sandbox-setup.exe` was launched for a non-elevated setup refresh and `CreateProcess` failed with `os error 740` (`The requested operation requires elevation`). Restoring an explicit `asInvoker` manifest records the helper's intended default launch contract: normal launches inherit the caller's token, and elevation only happens through the code paths that request it explicitly. The setup helper has two launch modes: - setup refresh uses a normal `Command::new(...)` spawn and should never trigger UAC - full setup explicitly uses `ShellExecuteExW` with the `runas` verb when elevation is required Restoring `asInvoker` keeps refresh non-elevated by default while preserving the explicit elevated path for full setup. ## What changed - Restored a minimal `codex-windows-sandbox-setup.manifest` containing only `requestedExecutionLevel level="asInvoker"`. - Added a small build script that passes setup-helper-scoped manifest linker args for MSVC and the Windows GNU/LLVM target used by Bazel. - Wired the manifest into Bazel build-script data. This does not restore `winres`, `FileDescription`, `ProductName`, or package-wide resource stamping, so other Codex binaries that link `codex-windows-sandbox` do not inherit metadata from this package. ## Verification - `cargo fmt -p codex-windows-sandbox` - `cargo build -p codex-windows-sandbox --bin codex-windows-sandbox-setup` - `cargo build -p codex-windows-sandbox --bin codex-command-runner` - `cargo build -p codex-windows-sandbox --lib` - Build-script output simulation for `CARGO_CFG_TARGET_ENV=msvc` emits `/MANIFEST:EMBED` and `/MANIFESTINPUT:<manifest>`. - Build-script output simulation for `CARGO_CFG_TARGET_ENV=gnu` + `CARGO_CFG_TARGET_ABI=llvm` emits `-Wl,-Xlink=/manifest:embed` and `-Wl,-Xlink=/manifestinput:<manifest>`. - Inspected the built binaries and confirmed: - `codex-windows-sandbox-setup.exe` contains `requestedExecutionLevel` / `asInvoker` - `codex-command-runner.exe` does not contain those manifest strings - Windows `VersionInfo` remains blank for `FileDescription` / `ProductName` - `just test -p codex-windows-sandbox` ran through Nextest, with 114 passing, 2 skipped, and 1 existing Windows sandbox failure: `unified_exec::tests::legacy_non_tty_cmd_emits_output` fails with `CreateRestrictedToken failed: 87`.
