viyatb-oai 5597925155 feat(cli): add sandbox profile config controls (#20118)
## Why

The explicit profile path from #20117 is meant for standalone testing,
but it still inherited the
shell cwd and all managed requirements implicitly. The pre-existing
launcher path even called out
that it did not support a separate cwd yet in

[`debug_sandbox.rs`](https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/509453f688a30929432be866402d1ea46aa12169/codex-rs/cli/src/debug_sandbox.rs#L174-L179).

For a standalone command, the useful default is to let the caller choose
the project directory being
tested and to avoid administrator-provided constraints unless the caller
explicitly wants to test
those too.

## What changed

- Add explicit-profile-only `-C/--cd DIR`, and use that cwd for both
profile resolution and command
  execution.
- Add explicit-profile-only `--include-managed-config`.
- Make explicit profile mode skip managed requirement sources by
default, including cloud
requirements, MDM requirements, `/etc/codex/requirements.toml`, and the
legacy managed-config
  requirements projection.
- Preserve all existing invocations outside the explicit-profile path.

## Stack

1. #20117 `sandbox-ui-profile`
2. #20118 `sandbox-ui-config` --> this PR

Both PRs are additive. Replay JSON is intentionally deferred to a
follow-up design pass.

## Tests ran

- `cargo test -p codex-cli debug_sandbox`
- `cargo test -p codex-cli sandbox_macos_`
- `cargo test -p codex-core
load_config_layers_can_ignore_managed_requirements`
- `cargo test -p codex-core
load_config_layers_includes_cloud_requirements`
- macOS branch-binary smoke on the rebased top of stack: `-C` changed
execution cwd, explicit
profile mode omitted managed proxy env under `env -i`, and
`--include-managed-config` restored it.
- Linux devbox branch-binary smoke on the rebased top of stack: `-C`
changed execution cwd for
  built-in and user-defined explicit profiles.

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.
