## Why `codex-shell-escalation` exposed a `codex-core`-specific adapter layer (`ShellActionProvider`, `ShellPolicyFactory`, and `run_escalate_server`) that existed only to bridge `codex-core` to `EscalateServer`. That indirection increased API surface and obscured crate ownership without adding behavior. This change moves orchestration into `codex-core` so boundaries are clearer: `codex-shell-escalation` provides reusable escalation primitives, and `codex-core` provides shell-tool policy decisions. Admittedly, @pakrym rightfully requested this sort of cleanup as part of https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/12649, though this avoids moving all of `codex-shell-escalation` into `codex-core`. ## What changed - Made `EscalateServer` public and exported it from `shell-escalation`. - Removed the adapter layer from `shell-escalation`: - deleted `shell-escalation/src/unix/core_shell_escalation.rs` - removed exports for `ShellActionProvider`, `ShellPolicyFactory`, `EscalationPolicyFactory`, and `run_escalate_server` - Updated `core/src/tools/runtimes/shell/unix_escalation.rs` to: - create `Stopwatch`/cancellation in `codex-core` - instantiate `EscalateServer` directly - implement `EscalationPolicy` directly on `CoreShellActionProvider` Net effect: same escalation flow with fewer wrappers and a smaller public API. ## Verification - Manually reviewed the old vs. new escalation call flow to confirm timeout/cancellation behavior and approval policy decisions are preserved while removing wrapper types.
codex-core
This crate implements the business logic for Codex. It is designed to be used by the various Codex UIs written in Rust.
Dependencies
Note that codex-core makes some assumptions about certain helper utilities being available in the environment. Currently, this support matrix is:
macOS
Expects /usr/bin/sandbox-exec to be present.
When using the workspace-write sandbox policy, the Seatbelt profile allows
writes under the configured writable roots while keeping .git (directory or
pointer file), the resolved gitdir: target, and .codex read-only.
Network access and filesystem read/write roots are controlled by
SandboxPolicy. Seatbelt consumes the resolved policy and enforces it.
Seatbelt also supports macOS permission-profile extensions layered on top of
SandboxPolicy:
- no extension profile provided:
keeps legacy default preferences read access (
user-preference-read). - extension profile provided with no
macos_preferencesgrant: does not add preferences access clauses. macos_preferences = "readonly": enables cfprefs read clauses anduser-preference-read.macos_preferences = "readwrite": includes readonly clauses plususer-preference-writeand cfprefs shm write clauses.macos_automation = true: enables broad Apple Events send permissions.macos_automation = ["com.apple.Notes", ...]: enables Apple Events send only to listed bundle IDs.macos_accessibility = true: enablescom.apple.axservermach lookup.macos_calendar = true: enablescom.apple.CalendarAgentmach lookup.
Linux
Expects the binary containing codex-core to run the equivalent of codex sandbox linux (legacy alias: codex debug landlock) when arg0 is codex-linux-sandbox. See the codex-arg0 crate for details.
All Platforms
Expects the binary containing codex-core to simulate the virtual apply_patch CLI when arg1 is --codex-run-as-apply-patch. See the codex-arg0 crate for details.
