In a [recent PR](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/9182), I made some improvements to config error messages so errors didn't leave app server clients in a dead state. This is a follow-on PR to make these error messages more readable and actionable for both TUI and GUI users. For example, see #9668 where the user was understandably confused about the source of the problem and how to fix it. The improved error message: 1. Clearly identifies the config file where the error was found (which is more important now that we support layered configs) 2. Provides a line and column number of the error 3. Displays the line where the error occurred and underlines it For example, if my `config.toml` includes the following: ```toml [features] collaboration_modes = "true" ``` Here's the current CLI error message: ``` Error loading config.toml: invalid type: string "true", expected a boolean in `features` ``` And here's the improved message: ``` Error loading config.toml: /Users/etraut/.codex/config.toml:43:23: invalid type: string "true", expected a boolean | 43 | collaboration_modes = "true" | ^^^^^^ ``` The bulk of the new logic is contained within a new module `config_loader/diagnostics.rs` that is responsible for calculating the text range for a given toml path (which is more involved than I would have expected). In addition, this PR adds the file name and text range to the `ConfigWarningNotification` app server struct. This allows GUI clients to present the user with a better error message and an optional link to open the errant config file. This was a suggestion from @.bolinfest when he reviewed my previous PR.
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.
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.
