efrazer-oai b885c3f8b1 Filter Windows sandbox roots from SSH config dependencies (#18493)
## Stack

1. Base PR: #18443 stops granting ACLs on `USERPROFILE`.
2. This PR: filters additional SSH-owned profile roots discovered from
SSH config.

## Bug

The base PR removes the broadest bad grant: `USERPROFILE` itself.

That still leaves one important case. A user profile child can be
SSH-owned even when its name is not one of our fixed exclusions.

For example:

```sshconfig
Host devbox
  IdentityFile ~/.keys/devbox
  CertificateFile ~/.certs/devbox-cert.pub
  UserKnownHostsFile ~/.known_hosts_custom
  Include ~/.ssh/conf.d/*.conf
```

After profile expansion, the sandbox might see these as normal profile
children:

```text
C:\Users\me\.keys
C:\Users\me\.certs
C:\Users\me\.known_hosts_custom
C:\Users\me\.ssh
```

Those paths have another owner: OpenSSH and the tools that manage SSH
identity and host-key state. Codex should not add sandbox ACLs to them.

OpenSSH describes this dependency tree in
[`ssh_config(5)`](https://man.openbsd.org/ssh_config.5), and the client
parser follows the same shape in `readconf.c`:

- `Include` recursively reads more config files and expands globs
- `IdentityFile` and `CertificateFile` name authentication files
- `UserKnownHostsFile`, `GlobalKnownHostsFile`, and `RevokedHostKeys`
name host-key files
- `ControlPath` and `IdentityAgent` can name profile-owned sockets or
control files
- these path directives can use forms such as `~`, `%d`, and `${HOME}`

## Change

This PR adds a small SSH config dependency scanner.

It starts at:

```text
~/.ssh/config
```

Then it returns concrete paths named by `Include` and by path-valued SSH
config directives:

```text
IdentityFile
CertificateFile
UserKnownHostsFile
GlobalKnownHostsFile
RevokedHostKeys
ControlPath
IdentityAgent
```

For example:

```sshconfig
IdentityFile ~/.keys/devbox
CertificateFile ~/.certs/devbox-cert.pub
Include ~/.ssh/conf.d/*.conf
```

returns paths like:

```text
C:\Users\me\.keys\devbox
C:\Users\me\.certs\devbox-cert.pub
C:\Users\me\.ssh\conf.d\devbox.conf
```

The setup code then maps those paths back to their top-level
`USERPROFILE` child and filters matching sandbox roots out of both the
writable and readable root lists.

## Why this shape

The parser reports what SSH config references. The sandbox setup code
decides which `USERPROFILE` roots are unsafe to grant.

That keeps the policy simple:

1. expand broad profile grants
2. remove the profile root
3. remove fixed sensitive profile folders
4. remove profile folders referenced by SSH config dependencies

If a path has two possible owners, the sandbox steps back. SSH keeps
control of SSH config, keys, certificates, known-hosts files, sockets,
and included config files.

## Tests

- `cargo test -p codex-windows-sandbox --lib`
- `just bazel-lock-check`
- `just fix -p codex-windows-sandbox`
- `git diff --check`

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, Business, 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.
