## What changed PR #29099 stopped sending the orchestrator's concrete sandbox wrapper to a remote exec-server. Remote commands now arrive as plain native argv. This PR adds the next piece: Codex also sends portable sandbox intent next to that plain argv. For a remote unified-exec command, the request can now include: - the canonical permission profile before local workspace-root materialization - the sandbox cwd and workspace roots as `PathUri` values - Windows sandbox settings - the legacy Landlock setting - whether managed networking must be enforced The important part is that symbolic entries such as `:workspace_roots` stay symbolic while crossing the boundary. The executor can then bind them to its own workspace-root paths instead of receiving orchestrator-local absolute paths. The data travels through `ExecRequest` into `ExecParams`. Older exec-servers can still deserialize requests because the new fields have defaults. ## Why The orchestrator should not decide how another machine implements sandboxing. For example: - a local macOS Codex would normally build a Seatbelt command - a remote Linux executor needs a Linux sandbox command instead The orchestrator now sends the plain command plus the policy it intended to enforce. A later PR can let the exec-server choose and build the correct sandbox for its own operating system. ## Important detail This keeps the portable intent separate from the local `SandboxType`. `SandboxType::None` is ambiguous: - it can mean the command was explicitly approved to run without a sandbox - it can also mean the orchestrator host has no concrete sandbox implementation available Those cases are different for remote execution. This PR adds `sandbox_requested` so an executor can still receive sandbox intent when the orchestrator cannot build a local wrapper. Explicit unsandboxed retries still send no sandbox context. ## Behavior today This PR only transports the intent. The exec-server accepts the new fields but does not apply them yet. Remote commands therefore remain unsandboxed after this PR, just as they are after PR #29099. ## Follow-up The next PR will make exec-server read this portable intent, bind symbolic workspace permissions to executor-native roots, choose the sandbox for its own operating system, build the wrapper locally, and then spawn the command.
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
Run the following on Mac or Linux to install Codex CLI:
curl -fsSL https://chatgpt.com/codex/install.sh | sh
Run the following on Windows to install Codex CLI:
powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -c "irm https://chatgpt.com/codex/install.ps1 | iex"
Codex CLI can also be installed via the following package managers:
# 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.
