Michael Bolin af215eb390 refactor: decouple shell-escalation from codex-core (#12638)
## Why

After removing `exec-server`, the next step is to wire a new shell tool
to `codex-rs/shell-escalation` directly.

That is blocked while `codex-shell-escalation` depends on `codex-core`,
because the new integration would require `codex-core` to depend on
`codex-shell-escalation` and create a dependency cycle.

This change ports the reusable pieces from the earlier prep work, but
drops the old compatibility shim because `exec-server`/MCP support is
already gone.

## What Changed

### Decouple `shell-escalation` from `codex-core`

- Introduce a crate-local `SandboxState` in `shell-escalation`
- Introduce a `ShellCommandExecutor` trait so callers provide process
execution/sandbox integration
- Update `EscalateServer::exec(...)` and `run_escalate_server(...)` to
use the injected executor
- Remove the direct `codex_core::exec::process_exec_tool_call(...)` call
from `shell-escalation`
- Remove the `codex-core` dependency from `codex-shell-escalation`

### Restore reusable policy adapter exports

- Re-enable `unix::core_shell_escalation`
- Export `ShellActionProvider` and `ShellPolicyFactory` from
`shell-escalation`
- Keep the crate root API simple (no `legacy_api` compatibility layer)

### Port socket fixes from the earlier prep commit

- Use `socket2::Socket::pair_raw(...)` for AF_UNIX socketpairs and
restore `CLOEXEC` explicitly on both endpoints
- Keep `CLOEXEC` cleared only on the single datagram client FD that is
intentionally passed across `exec`
- Clean up `tokio::AsyncFd::try_io(...)` error handling in the socket
helpers

## Verification

- `cargo shear`
- `cargo clippy -p codex-shell-escalation --tests`
- `cargo test -p codex-shell-escalation`

npm i -g @openai/codex
or brew install --cask codex

Codex CLI is a coding agent from OpenAI that runs locally on your computer.

Codex CLI splash


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
  • Linux
    • x86_64: codex-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz
    • arm64: codex-aarch64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz

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.

Using Codex with your ChatGPT plan

Run codex and select Sign in with ChatGPT. We recommend signing into your ChatGPT account to use Codex as part of your Plus, Pro, Team, Edu, or Enterprise plan. Learn more about what's included in your ChatGPT plan.

You can also use Codex with an API key, but this requires additional setup.
