## Summary - add a dedicated `core/tests/suite/model_visible_layout.rs` snapshot suite to materialize model-visible request layout in high-value scenarios - add three reviewer-focused snapshot scenarios: - turn-level context updates (cwd / permissions / personality) - first post-resume turn with model hydration + personality change - first post-resume turn where pre-turn model override matches rollout model - wire the new suite into `core/tests/suite/mod.rs` - commit generated `insta` snapshots under `core/tests/suite/snapshots/` ## Why This creates a stable, reviewable baseline of model-visible context layout against `main` before follow-on context-management refactors. It lets subsequent PRs show focused snapshot diffs for behavior changes instead of introducing the test surface and behavior changes at once. ## Testing - `just fmt` - `INSTA_UPDATE=always cargo test -p codex-core model_visible_layout`
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_preferencesgrant: does not add preferences access clauses. macos_preferences = "readonly": enables cfprefs read clauses anduser-preference-read.macos_preferences = "readwrite": includes readonly clauses plususer-preference-writeand 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: enablescom.apple.axservermach lookup.macos_calendar = true: enablescom.apple.CalendarAgentmach 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.
