Curtis 'Fjord' Hawthorne cc248e4681 js_repl: canonicalize paths for node_modules boundary checks (#12177)
## Summary

Fix `js_repl` package-resolution boundary checks for macOS temp
directory path aliasing (`/var` vs `/private/var`).

## Problem

`js_repl` verifies that resolved bare-package imports stay inside a
configured `node_modules` root.
On macOS, temp directories are commonly exposed as `/var/...` but
canonicalize to `/private/var/...`.
Because the boundary check compared raw paths with `path.relative(...)`,
valid resolutions under temp dirs could be misclassified as escaping the
allowed base, causing false `Module not found` errors.

## Changes

- Add `fs` import in the JS kernel.
- Add `canonicalizePath()` using `fs.realpathSync.native(...)` (with
safe fallback).
- Canonicalize both `base` and `resolvedPath` before running the
`node_modules` containment check.

## Impact

- Fixes false-negative boundary checks for valid package resolutions in
macOS temp-dir scenarios.
- Keeps the existing security boundary behavior intact.
- Scope is limited to `js_repl` kernel module path validation logic.

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.
