## Why #23813 switches the Windows sandbox runner path to `PermissionProfile`, but it still left one runtime anchor for resolving symbolic `:workspace_roots` entries. That is not enough once a turn has multiple effective workspace roots: exact entries and deny globs under `:workspace_roots` need to be materialized for every runtime root before the command runner chooses token mode or builds ACL plans. ## What Changed - Replaces the Windows runner/setup `permission_profile_cwd` plumbing with `workspace_roots: Vec<AbsolutePathBuf>`. - Resolves Windows-local `PermissionProfile` data with `materialize_project_roots_with_workspace_roots(...)` instead of the single-cwd helper. - Threads `Config::effective_workspace_roots()` through core execution, unified exec, TUI setup/read-grant flows, app-server setup, app-server `command/exec`, and `debug sandbox` on Windows. - Preserves those workspace roots through the zsh-fork escalation executor instead of rebuilding them from `sandbox_policy_cwd`. - Makes `ExecRequest::new(...)` and the remaining `build_exec_request(...)` helper path take `windows_sandbox_workspace_roots` explicitly so new call sites cannot silently fall back to `vec![cwd]`. - Clarifies the `debug sandbox` non-Windows comment: remaining cwd-dependent resolution still uses `sandbox_policy_cwd`, while `:workspace_roots` entries are already materialized from config roots. - Updates elevated runner IPC `SpawnRequest` to send `workspace_roots` and bumps the framed IPC protocol version to `3` for the payload shape change. - Adds Windows-local resolver coverage for expanding exact and glob `:workspace_roots` entries across multiple roots, plus core helper coverage proving explicit roots are preserved. ## Verification - `cargo check -p codex-windows-sandbox -p codex-core -p codex-tui -p codex-cli -p codex-app-server` - `cargo test -p codex-windows-sandbox` - `cargo test -p codex-core windows_sandbox` - `cargo test -p codex-core unix_escalation` - `cargo test -p codex-app-server windows_sandbox` - `cargo test -p codex-tui windows_sandbox` - `cargo test -p codex-cli debug_sandbox` - `just test -p codex-core unified_exec` - `just test -p codex-core build_exec_request_preserves_windows_workspace_roots` - `env -u CODEX_NETWORK_PROXY_ACTIVE -u CODEX_NETWORK_ALLOW_LOCAL_BINDING just test -p codex-app-server --lib command_exec` - `just test -p codex-windows-sandbox` - `just test -p codex-exec sandbox` - `just fix -p codex-core -p codex-app-server -p codex-windows-sandbox` A local macOS cross-check with `cargo check --target x86_64-pc-windows-msvc ...` did not reach crate Rust code because native dependencies require Windows SDK headers (`windows.h` / `assert.h`) in this environment; Windows CI remains the real target validation. Two local targeted filters compile but do not run assertions on macOS: `env -u CODEX_NETWORK_PROXY_ACTIVE -u CODEX_NETWORK_ALLOW_LOCAL_BINDING just test -p codex-app-server --lib command_exec_processor` matched zero tests, and `just test -p codex-linux-sandbox landlock` matched zero tests because the landlock suite is Linux-only.
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
Run the following on Mac or Linux to install Codex CLI:
curl -fsSL https://chatgpt.com/codex/install.sh | sh
Run the following on Windows to install Codex CLI:
powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -c "irm https://chatgpt.com/codex/install.ps1 | iex"
Codex CLI can also be installed via the following package managers:
# 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.
