Michael Bolin 36f8bb4ffa exec-server: carry filesystem sandbox profiles (#18276)
## 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.

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.
