Michael Bolin bc083e4713 clients: send permission profiles to app-server (#18280)
## Why

After app-server can accept `PermissionProfile`, first-party clients
should stop preferring legacy sandbox fields when canonical permission
information is available. This keeps the migration moving without
removing legacy compatibility yet.

The client side still has mixed surfaces during the stack: embedded
thread start/resume/fork and exec initial turns can derive a profile
directly from local config, while TUI remote sessions and some
turn-start paths only have a legacy/server-context-safe sandbox
projection. Those paths keep sending legacy sandbox fields rather than
synthesizing or sending lossy/local-only profiles.

## What changed

- Sends `permissionProfile` from exec and embedded TUI thread
start/resume/fork requests when config has a representable profile.
- Keeps legacy sandbox fallback for external sandbox policies, TUI
remote thread lifecycle requests, and TUI turn-start requests that do
not yet carry the active profile.
- Sends the actual config-derived `permissionProfile` for exec initial
turns instead of rebuilding one from the legacy sandbox projection.
- Stores response `permissionProfile` as optional in TUI session state
so external sandbox responses and compatibility payloads preserve
`null`.
- Updates tests for request construction and response mapping.

## Verification

- `cargo check --tests -p codex-tui -p codex-exec`
- `cargo test -p codex-tui app_server_session -- --nocapture`
- `cargo test -p codex-exec thread_start_params -- --nocapture`
- `cargo test -p codex-tui
app_server_session::tests::thread_lifecycle_params -- --nocapture`
- `just fix -p codex-tui -p codex-exec`
- `just fix -p codex-tui`

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
