## Stack 1. This PR (#25850) - Key request-permission grants by environment: stores and applies sticky permission grants per environment id. 2. #25858 - Add `environmentId` to `request_permissions`: lets the model target a selected environment and resolves relative permission paths against it. 3. #25862 - Propagate permission approval environment id: carries the selected environment id through approval events, app-server requests, TUI prompts, and delegate forwarding. 4. #25867 - Add remote request permissions integration coverage: verifies the selected remote environment across request, approval, grant reuse, and exec. #25858, #25862, and #25867 are stacked on this PR and should be reviewed after it. ## Why Multi-environment CCA turns can attach both local and remote executors, but request-permission grants were still effectively cwd-only. Pending permission requests tracked a cwd, while stored turn/session grants had no environment identity, so sticky grants could be reused through the wrong executor context. This makes the first permission-grant step environment-aware without changing the external `request_permissions` payload shape: omitted environment targeting remains bound to the primary turn environment. ## What Changed - Store turn- and session-scoped request-permission grants by `environment_id`. - Keep the selected `TurnEnvironmentSelection` with pending `request_permissions` calls so approval responses normalize and record grants against the same environment. - Resolve relative `request_permissions` file paths against the primary turn environment cwd instead of deprecated `turn.cwd`. - Apply sticky grants in `shell`, `exec_command`, and `apply_patch` by selected environment id while still using the actual tool cwd for cwd-relative permission materialization. - Update Guardian and request-permissions coverage for the environment-keyed grant behavior. ## Testing Not run locally. Added or updated focused coverage for: - `request_permission_grants_are_environment_keyed` - `request_permissions_tool_resolves_relative_paths_against_primary_environment` - related Guardian/request-permissions sticky grant tests
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 keeps the legacy default preferences read access
(user-preference-read) needed for cfprefs-backed macOS behavior.
Linux
Expects the binary containing codex-core to run the equivalent of codex sandbox when arg0 is codex-linux-sandbox. See the codex-arg0 crate for details.
Legacy SandboxPolicy / sandbox_mode configs are still supported on Linux.
They can continue to use the legacy Landlock path when the split filesystem
policy is sandbox-equivalent to the legacy model after cwd resolution.
Split filesystem policies that need direct FileSystemSandboxPolicy
enforcement, such as read-only or denied carveouts under a broader writable
root, automatically route through bubblewrap. The legacy Landlock path is used
only when the split filesystem policy round-trips through the legacy
SandboxPolicy model without changing semantics. That includes overlapping
cases like /repo = write, /repo/a = none, /repo/a/b = write, where the
more specific writable child must reopen under a denied parent.
The Linux sandbox helper prefers the first bwrap found on PATH outside the
current working directory whenever it is available. If bwrap is present but
too old to support --argv0, the helper keeps using system bubblewrap and
switches to a no---argv0 compatibility path for the inner re-exec. If
bwrap is missing, it falls back to the bundled codex-resources/bwrap
binary shipped with Codex and Codex surfaces a startup warning through its
normal notification path instead of printing directly from the sandbox helper.
Codex also surfaces a startup warning when bubblewrap cannot create user
namespaces. WSL2 uses the normal Linux bubblewrap path. WSL1 is not supported
for bubblewrap sandboxing because it cannot create the required user
namespaces, so Codex rejects sandboxed shell commands that would enter the
bubblewrap path before invoking bwrap.
Windows
Legacy SandboxPolicy / sandbox_mode configs are still supported on
Windows. Legacy read-only and workspace-write policies imply full
filesystem read access; exact readable roots are represented by split
filesystem policies instead.
The elevated Windows sandbox also supports:
- legacy
ReadOnlyandWorkspaceWritebehavior - split filesystem policies that need exact readable roots, exact writable roots, or extra read-only carveouts under writable roots
- backend-managed system read roots required for basic execution, such as
C:\Windows,C:\Program Files,C:\Program Files (x86), andC:\ProgramData, when a split filesystem policy requests platform defaults
The unelevated restricted-token backend still supports the legacy full-read
Windows model for legacy ReadOnly and WorkspaceWrite behavior. It also
supports a narrow split-filesystem subset: full-read split policies whose
writable roots still match the legacy WorkspaceWrite root set, but add extra
read-only carveouts under those writable roots.
New [permissions] / split filesystem policies remain supported on Windows
only when they can be enforced directly by the selected Windows backend or
round-trip through the legacy SandboxPolicy model without changing semantics.
Policies that would require direct explicit unreadable carveouts (none) or
reopened writable descendants under read-only carveouts still fail closed
instead of running with weaker enforcement.
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.
