## Why `ReadOnlyAccess` was a transitional legacy shape on `SandboxPolicy`: `FullAccess` meant the historical read-only/workspace-write modes could read the full filesystem, while `Restricted` tried to carry partial readable roots. The partial-read model now belongs in `FileSystemSandboxPolicy` and `PermissionProfile`, so keeping it on `SandboxPolicy` makes every legacy projection reintroduce lossy read-root bookkeeping and creates unnecessary noise in the rest of the permissions migration. This PR makes the legacy policy model narrower and explicit: `SandboxPolicy::ReadOnly` and `SandboxPolicy::WorkspaceWrite` represent the old full-read sandbox modes only. Split readable roots, deny-read globs, and platform-default/minimal read behavior stay in the runtime permissions model. ## What changed - Removes `ReadOnlyAccess` from `codex_protocol::protocol::SandboxPolicy`, including the generated `access` and `readOnlyAccess` API fields. - Updates legacy policy/profile conversions so restricted filesystem reads are represented only by `FileSystemSandboxPolicy` / `PermissionProfile` entries. - Keeps app-server v2 compatible with legacy `fullAccess` read-access payloads by accepting and ignoring that no-op shape, while rejecting legacy `restricted` read-access payloads instead of silently widening them to full-read legacy policies. - Carries Windows sandbox platform-default read behavior with an explicit override flag instead of depending on `ReadOnlyAccess::Restricted`. - Refreshes generated app-server schema/types and updates tests/docs for the simplified legacy policy shape. ## Verification - `cargo check -p codex-app-server-protocol --tests` - `cargo check -p codex-windows-sandbox --tests` - `cargo test -p codex-app-server-protocol sandbox_policy_` --- [//]: # (BEGIN SAPLING FOOTER) Stack created with [Sapling](https://sapling-scm.com).

or brew install --cask codex
Codex CLI is a coding agent from OpenAI that runs locally on your computer.
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
- Apple Silicon/arm64:
- Linux
- x86_64:
codex-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz - arm64:
codex-aarch64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz
- x86_64:
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.
