Michael Bolin 5eab9ff8ca app-server: expose thread permission profiles (#18278)
## Why

The `PermissionProfile` migration needs app-server clients to see the
same constrained permission model that core is using at runtime. Before
this PR, thread lifecycle responses only exposed the legacy
`SandboxPolicy` shape, so clients still had to infer active permissions
from sandbox fields. That makes downstream resume, fork, and override
flows harder to make `PermissionProfile`-first.

External sandbox policies are intentionally excluded from this canonical
view. External enforcement cannot be round-tripped as a
`PermissionProfile`, and exposing a lossy root-write profile would let
clients accidentally change sandbox semantics if they echo the profile
back later.

## What changed

- Adds the app-server v2 `PermissionProfile` wire shape, including
filesystem permissions and glob scan depth metadata.
- Adds `PermissionProfileNetworkPermissions` so the profile response
does not expose active network state through the older
additional-permissions naming.
- Returns `permissionProfile` from thread start, resume, and fork
responses when the active sandbox can be represented as a
`PermissionProfile`.
- Keeps legacy `sandbox` in those responses for compatibility and
documents `permissionProfile` as canonical when present.
- Makes lifecycle `permissionProfile` nullable and returns `null` for
`ExternalSandbox` to avoid exposing a lossy profile.
- Regenerates the app-server JSON schema and TypeScript fixtures.

## Verification

- `cargo test -p codex-app-server-protocol`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server
thread_response_permission_profile_omits_external_sandbox --
--nocapture`
- `cargo check --tests -p codex-analytics -p codex-exec -p codex-tui`
- `just fix -p codex-app-server-protocol -p codex-app-server -p
codex-analytics -p codex-exec -p codex-tui`

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.

Using Codex with your ChatGPT plan

Run codex and select Sign in with ChatGPT. We recommend signing into your ChatGPT account to use Codex as part of your Plus, Pro, Business, Edu, or Enterprise plan. Learn more about what's included in your ChatGPT plan.

You can also use Codex with an API key, but this requires additional setup.
