## Why The exec-server still needs platform sandbox inputs, but the migration should preserve the `PermissionProfile` that produced them. Keeping only the derived legacy sandbox map would keep `SandboxPolicy` as the effective abstraction and would make full-disk vs. restricted profiles harder to preserve as the permissions stack starts round-tripping profiles. `PermissionProfile` entries can also be cwd-sensitive (`:cwd`, `:project_roots`, relative globs), so the exec-server must carry the request sandbox cwd instead of resolving those entries against the long-lived exec-server process cwd. ## What changed `FileSystemSandboxContext` now carries `permissions: PermissionProfile` plus an optional `cwd`: - removed `sandboxPolicy`, `sandboxPolicyCwd`, `fileSystemSandboxPolicy`, and `additionalPermissions` - added `permissions` and `cwd` - kept the platform knobs `windowsSandboxLevel`, `windowsSandboxPrivateDesktop`, and `useLegacyLandlock` Core turn and apply-patch paths populate the context from the active runtime permissions and request cwd. Exec-server derives platform `SandboxPolicy`/`FileSystemSandboxPolicy` at the filesystem boundary, adds helper runtime reads there, and rejects cwd-dependent profiles that arrive without a cwd. The legacy `FileSystemSandboxContext::new(SandboxPolicy)` constructor now preserves the old workspace-write conversion semantics for compatibility tests/callers. ## Verification - `cargo test -p codex-exec-server` - `cargo test -p codex-exec-server sandbox_cwd -- --nocapture` - `cargo test -p codex-exec-server sandbox_context_new_preserves_legacy_workspace_write_read_only_subpaths -- --nocapture` - `cargo test -p codex-core --lib file_system_sandbox_context_uses_active_attempt -- --nocapture`
npm i -g @openai/codex
or brew install --cask codex
Codex CLI is a coding agent from OpenAI that runs locally on your computer.
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
- Apple Silicon/arm64:
- Linux
- x86_64:
codex-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz - arm64:
codex-aarch64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz
- x86_64:
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.
