richardopenai 9f2a585153 Option to Notify Workspace Owner When Usage Limit is Reached (#16969)
## Summary
- Replace the manual `/notify-owner` flow with an inline confirmation
prompt when a usage-based workspace member hits a credits-depleted
limit.
- Fetch the current workspace role from the live ChatGPT
`accounts/check/v4-2023-04-27` endpoint so owner/member behavior matches
the desktop and web clients.
- Keep owner, member, and spend-cap messaging distinct so we only offer
the owner nudge when the workspace is actually out of credits.

## What Changed
- `backend-client`
- Added a typed fetch for the current account role from
`accounts/check`.
  - Mapped backend role values into a Rust workspace-role enum.
- `app-server` and protocol
  - Added `workspaceRole` to `account/read` and `account/updated`.
- Derived `isWorkspaceOwner` from the live role, with a fallback to the
cached token claim when the role fetch is unavailable.
- `tui`
  - Removed the explicit `/notify-owner` slash command.
- When a member is blocked because the workspace is out of credits, the
error now prompts:
- `Your workspace is out of credits. Request more from your workspace
owner? [y/N]`
  - Choosing `y` sends the existing owner-notification request.
- Choosing `n`, pressing `Esc`, or accepting the default selection
dismisses the prompt without sending anything.
- Selection popups now honor explicit item shortcuts, which is how the
`y` / `n` interaction is wired.

## Reviewer Notes
- The main behavior change is scoped to usage-based workspace members
whose workspace credits are depleted.
- Spend-cap reached should not show the owner-notification prompt.
- Owners and admins should continue to see `/usage` guidance instead of
the member prompt.
- The live role fetch is best-effort; if it fails, we fall back to the
existing token-derived ownership signal.

## Testing
- Manual verification
  - Workspace owner does not see the member prompt.
- Workspace member with depleted credits sees the confirmation prompt
and can send the nudge with `y`.
- Workspace member with spend cap reached does not see the
owner-notification prompt.

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 keeps the legacy default preferences read access (user-preference-read) needed for cfprefs-backed macOS behavior.

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.

Legacy SandboxPolicy / sandbox_mode configs are still supported on Linux. They can continue to use the legacy Landlock path when the split filesystem policy is sandbox-equivalent to the legacy model after cwd resolution. Split filesystem policies that need direct FileSystemSandboxPolicy enforcement, such as read-only or denied carveouts under a broader writable root, automatically route through bubblewrap. The legacy Landlock path is used only when the split filesystem policy round-trips through the legacy SandboxPolicy model without changing semantics. That includes overlapping cases like /repo = write, /repo/a = none, /repo/a/b = write, where the more specific writable child must reopen under a denied parent.

The Linux sandbox helper prefers the first bwrap found on PATH outside the current working directory whenever it is available. If bwrap is present but too old to support --argv0, the helper keeps using system bubblewrap and switches to a no---argv0 compatibility path for the inner re-exec. If bwrap is missing, it falls back to the vendored bubblewrap path compiled into the binary and Codex surfaces a startup warning through its normal notification path instead of printing directly from the sandbox helper. Codex also surfaces a startup warning when bubblewrap cannot create user namespaces.

Windows

Legacy SandboxPolicy / sandbox_mode configs are still supported on Windows.

The elevated setup/runner backend supports legacy ReadOnlyAccess::Restricted for read-only and workspace-write policies. Restricted read access honors explicit readable roots plus the command cwd, and keeps writable roots readable when workspace-write is used.

When include_platform_defaults = true, the elevated Windows backend adds backend-managed system read roots required for basic execution, such as C:\Windows, C:\Program Files, C:\Program Files (x86), and C:\ProgramData. When it is false, those extra system roots are omitted.

The elevated Windows sandbox also supports:

  • legacy ReadOnly and WorkspaceWrite behavior
  • split filesystem policies that need exact readable roots, exact writable roots, or extra read-only carveouts under writable roots

The unelevated restricted-token backend still supports the legacy full-read Windows model for legacy ReadOnly and WorkspaceWrite behavior. It also supports a narrow split-filesystem subset: full-read split policies whose writable roots still match the legacy WorkspaceWrite root set, but add extra read-only carveouts under those writable roots.

New [permissions] / split filesystem policies remain supported on Windows only when they can be enforced directly by the selected Windows backend or round-trip through the legacy SandboxPolicy model without changing semantics. Policies that would require direct explicit unreadable carveouts (none) or reopened writable descendants under read-only carveouts still fail closed instead of running with weaker enforcement.

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.
