## Why After the split-policy plumbing landed, additional-permissions widening still rebuilt filesystem access through the legacy projection in a few places. That can erase explicit deny entries and make the runtime treat a policy as fully writable even when it still has blocked subpaths, which in turn can skip the platform sandbox when it is still needed. ## What changed - preserved explicit deny entries when merging additional read and write permissions into `FileSystemSandboxPolicy` - switched platform-sandbox selection to rely on `FileSystemSandboxPolicy::has_full_disk_write_access()` instead of ad hoc root-write checks - kept the widened policy path in `core/src/exec.rs` and `core/src/sandboxing/mod.rs` aligned so denied subpaths survive both policy merging and sandbox selection - added regression coverage for root-write policies that still carry carveouts ## Verification - added regression coverage in `core/src/sandboxing/mod.rs` showing that root write plus carveouts still requires the platform sandbox - verified the current PR state with `just clippy` --- [//]: # (BEGIN SAPLING FOOTER) Stack created with [Sapling](https://sapling-scm.com).

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.
