Michael Bolin a8797019a1 chore: cleanup Config instantiation codepaths (#8226)
This PR does various types of cleanup before I can proceed with more
ambitious changes to config loading.

First, I noticed duplicated code across these two methods:


https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/774bd9e432fa2e0f4e059e97648cf92216912e19/codex-rs/core/src/config/mod.rs#L314-L324


https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/774bd9e432fa2e0f4e059e97648cf92216912e19/codex-rs/core/src/config/mod.rs#L334-L344

This has now been consolidated in
`load_config_as_toml_with_cli_overrides()`.

Further, I noticed that `Config::load_with_cli_overrides()` took two
similar arguments:


https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/774bd9e432fa2e0f4e059e97648cf92216912e19/codex-rs/core/src/config/mod.rs#L308-L311

The difference between `cli_overrides` and `overrides` was not
immediately obvious to me. At first glance, it appears that one should
be able to be expressed in terms of the other, but it turns out that
some fields of `ConfigOverrides` (such as `cwd` and
`codex_linux_sandbox_exe`) are, by design, not configurable via a
`.toml` file or a command-line `--config` flag.

That said, I discovered that many callers of
`Config::load_with_cli_overrides()` were passing
`ConfigOverrides::default()` for `overrides`, so I created two separate
methods:

- `Config::load_with_cli_overrides(cli_overrides: Vec<(String,
TomlValue)>)`
- `Config::load_with_cli_overrides_and_harness_overrides(cli_overrides:
Vec<(String, TomlValue)>, harness_overrides: ConfigOverrides)`

The latter has a long name, as it is _not_ what should be used in the
common case, so the extra typing is designed to draw attention to this
fact. I tried to update the existing callsites to use the shorter name,
where possible.

Further, in the cases where `ConfigOverrides` is used, usually only a
limited subset of fields are actually set, so I updated the declarations
to leverage `..Default::default()` where possible.

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.

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.
