Michael Bolin bf5c2f48a5 seatbelt: honor split filesystem sandbox policies (#13448)
## Why

After `#13440` and `#13445`, macOS Seatbelt policy generation was still
deriving filesystem and network behavior from the legacy `SandboxPolicy`
projection.

That projection loses explicit unreadable carveouts and conflates split
network decisions, so the generated Seatbelt policy could still be wider
than the split policy that Codex had already computed.

## What changed

- added Seatbelt entrypoints that accept `FileSystemSandboxPolicy` and
`NetworkSandboxPolicy` directly
- built read and write policy stanzas from access roots plus excluded
subpaths so explicit unreadable carveouts survive into the generated
Seatbelt policy
- switched network policy generation to consult `NetworkSandboxPolicy`
directly
- failed closed when managed-network or proxy-constrained sessions do
not yield usable loopback proxy endpoints
- updated the macOS callers and test helpers that now need to carry the
split policies explicitly

## Verification

- added regression coverage in `core/src/seatbelt.rs` for unreadable
carveouts under both full-disk and scoped-readable policies
- verified the current PR state with `just clippy`

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.

When using the workspace-write sandbox policy, the Seatbelt profile allows writes under the configured writable roots while keeping .git (directory or pointer file), the resolved gitdir: target, and .codex read-only.

Network access and filesystem read/write roots are controlled by SandboxPolicy. Seatbelt consumes the resolved policy and enforces it.

Seatbelt also supports macOS permission-profile extensions layered on top of SandboxPolicy:

  • no extension profile provided: keeps legacy default preferences read access (user-preference-read).
  • extension profile provided with no macos_preferences grant: does not add preferences access clauses.
  • macos_preferences = "readonly": enables cfprefs read clauses and user-preference-read.
  • macos_preferences = "readwrite": includes readonly clauses plus user-preference-write and cfprefs shm write clauses.
  • macos_automation = true: enables broad Apple Events send permissions.
  • macos_automation = ["com.apple.Notes", ...]: enables Apple Events send only to listed bundle IDs.
  • macos_accessibility = true: enables com.apple.axserver mach lookup.
  • macos_calendar = true: enables com.apple.CalendarAgent mach lookup.

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.
