## Why After config and requirements store canonical profiles, exec requests should not cache a derived `SandboxPolicy`. The cached legacy value can drift from the richer profile state, and most execution paths already have the filesystem and network runtime policies they need. ## What Changed - Removes `sandbox_policy` from `codex_sandboxing::SandboxExecRequest` and `codex_core::sandboxing::ExecRequest`. - Adds an on-demand `ExecRequest::compatibility_sandbox_policy()` helper for the Windows and legacy call sites that still need a `SandboxPolicy` projection. - Updates Windows filesystem override setup and unified exec policy serialization to derive that compatibility policy at the boundary. - Updates Unix escalation reruns and direct shell requests to reconstruct exec requests from `PermissionProfile` plus runtime filesystem/network policy, without carrying a cached legacy policy. - Adjusts sandboxing manager tests to assert the effective profile rather than the removed legacy field. ## Verification - `cargo check -p codex-config -p codex-core -p codex-sandboxing -p codex-app-server -p codex-cli -p codex-tui` - `cargo test -p codex-sandboxing manager` - `cargo test -p codex-core exec_server_params_use_env_policy_overlay_contract` - `cargo test -p codex-core unix_escalation` - `cargo test -p codex-core exec::tests` - `cargo test -p codex-core sandboxing::tests`
npm i -g @openai/codex
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.
