Curtis 'Fjord' Hawthorne cfbbbb1dda Harden js_repl emitImage to accept only data: URLs (#13507)
### Motivation

- Prevent untrusted js_repl code from supplying arbitrary external URLs
that the host would forward into model input and cause external fetches
/ data exfiltration. This change narrows the emitImage contract to safe,
self-contained data URLs.

### Description

- Kernel: added `normalizeEmitImageUrl` and enforce that string-valued
`codex.emitImage(...)` inputs and `input_image`/content-item paths only
accept non-empty `data:` URLs; byte-based paths still produce data URLs
as before (`kernel.js`).
- Host: added `validate_emitted_image_url` and check `EmitImage`
requests before creating `FunctionCallOutputContentItem::InputImage`,
returning an error to the kernel if the URL is not a `data:` URL
(`mod.rs`).
- Tests/docs: added a runtime test
`js_repl_emit_image_rejects_non_data_url` to assert rejection of
non-data URLs and updated user-facing docs/instruction text to state
`data URL` support instead of generic direct image URLs (`mod.rs`,
`docs/js_repl.md`, `project_doc.rs`).

### Testing

- Ran `just fmt` in `codex-rs`; it completed successfully.
- Added a runtime test (`cargo test -p codex-core
js_repl_emit_image_rejects_non_data_url`) but executing the test in this
environment failed due to a missing system dependency required by
`codex-linux-sandbox` (the vendored `bubblewrap` build requires
`libcap.pc` via `pkg-config`), so the test could not be run here.
- Attempted a focused `cargo test` invocation with and without default
features; both compile/test attempts were blocked by the same missing
system `libcap` dependency in this environment.

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.
