Charley Cunningham 85034b189e core: snapshot tests for compaction requests, post-compaction layout, some additional compaction tests (#11487)
This PR keeps compaction context-layout test coverage separate from
runtime compaction behavior changes, so runtime logic review can stay
focused.

## Included
- Adds reusable context snapshot helpers in
`core/tests/common/context_snapshot.rs` for rendering model-visible
request/history shapes.
- Standardizes helper naming for readability:
  - `format_request_input_snapshot`
  - `format_response_items_snapshot`
  - `format_labeled_requests_snapshot`
  - `format_labeled_items_snapshot`
- Expands snapshot coverage for both local and remote compaction flows:
  - pre-turn auto-compaction
  - pre-turn failure/context-window-exceeded paths
  - mid-turn continuation compaction
  - manual `/compact` with and without prior user turns
- Captures both sides where relevant:
  - compaction request shape
  - post-compaction history layout shape
- Adds/uses shared request-inspection helpers so assertions target
structured request content instead of ad-hoc JSON string parsing.
- Aligns snapshots/assertions to current behavior and leaves explicit
`TODO(ccunningham)` notes where behavior is known and intentionally
deferred.

## Not Included
- No runtime compaction logic changes.
- No model-visible context/state behavior changes.

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 supports macOS permission-profile extensions layered on top of SandboxPolicy:

  • no extension profile provided: keeps legacy default preferences read access (user-preference-read).
  • extension profile provided with no macos_preferences grant: does not add preferences access clauses.
  • macos_preferences = "readonly": enables cfprefs read clauses and user-preference-read.
  • macos_preferences = "readwrite": includes readonly clauses plus user-preference-write and cfprefs shm write clauses.
  • macos_automation = true: enables broad Apple Events send permissions.
  • macos_automation = ["com.apple.Notes", ...]: enables Apple Events send only to listed bundle IDs.
  • macos_accessibility = true: enables com.apple.axserver mach lookup.
  • macos_calendar = true: enables com.apple.CalendarAgent mach lookup.

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.
