## Why `PermissionProfile` is becoming the default way to represent Codex permissions, but the implicit default behavior should stay the same for now: - trusted projects use `:workspace` - untrusted projects also use `:workspace` - roots without a trust decision use `:read-only` - unsandboxed Windows falls back to `:read-only` This keeps the existing sandbox semantics while making silent config defaults observable as built-in permission profiles instead of treating the legacy `SandboxPolicy` projection as the primary shape. ## What Changed - Refactored legacy sandbox derivation to resolve the configured sandbox mode once, then apply the implicit project fallback only when no sandbox mode was configured. - Preserved the existing trust-decision fallback: trusted and untrusted projects default to workspace-write where supported. - Added empty-config coverage asserting that an untrusted project resolves to the built-in active permission profile (`:workspace` outside unsandboxed Windows). ## Verification - `just fmt` - `just test -p codex-core 'config::'` - `just test -p codex-config` --- [//]: # (BEGIN SAPLING FOOTER) Stack created with [Sapling](https://sapling-scm.com).

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.
