Michael Bolin 7f75e74201 Use Arc-based ToolCtx in tool runtimes (#12583)
## Why
Tool handlers and runtimes needed to pass the same turn/session context
for shell and non-shell workflows without duplicative ownership churn.
Using shared pointers avoids temporary lifetimes and keeps existing
behavior unchanged while simplifying call sites.

## What changed
- Converted `ToolCtx` to store shared context handles (`Arc`-based),
including updates across shell, apply-patch, and unified-exec paths.
- Updated orchestrator/runtime call sites to consume the shared context
consistently and remove brittle move/borrow patterns.
- Kept behavior unchanged while preparing the type surface for the new
shell escalation integration in the next stack commit.

## Verification
- Validated this commit stack point with `just clippy` and confirmed
workspace compiles cleanly in this stack state.

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_preferences grant: does not add preferences access clauses.
  • macos_preferences = "readonly": enables cfprefs read clauses and user-preference-read.
  • macos_preferences = "readwrite": includes readonly clauses plus user-preference-write and 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: enables com.apple.axserver mach lookup.
  • macos_calendar = true: enables com.apple.CalendarAgent mach 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.
