viyatb-oai dae0608c06 feat(config): support managed deny-read requirements (#17740)
## Summary
- adds managed requirements support for deny-read filesystem entries
- constrains config layers so managed deny-read requirements cannot be
widened by user-controlled config
- surfaces managed deny-read requirements through debug/config plumbing

This PR lets managed requirements inject deny-read filesystem
constraints into the effective filesystem sandbox policy.
User-controlled config can still choose the surrounding permission
profile, but it cannot remove or weaken the managed deny-read entries.

## Managed deny-read shape
A managed requirements file can declare exact paths and glob patterns
under `[permissions.filesystem]`:

```toml
# /etc/codex/requirements.toml
[permissions.filesystem]
deny_read = [
  "/Users/alice/.gitconfig",
  "/Users/alice/.ssh",
  "./managed-private/**/*.env",
]
```

Those entries are compiled into the effective filesystem policy as
`access = none` rules, equivalent in shape to filesystem permission
entries like:

```toml
[permissions.workspace.filesystem]
"/Users/alice/.gitconfig" = "none"
"/Users/alice/.ssh" = "none"
"/absolute/path/to/managed-private/**/*.env" = "none"
```

The important difference is that the managed entries come from
requirements, so lower-precedence user config cannot remove them or make
those paths readable again.

Relative managed `deny_read` entries are resolved relative to the
directory containing the managed requirements file. Glob entries keep
their glob suffix after the non-glob prefix is normalized.

## Runtime behavior
- Managed `deny_read` entries are appended to the effective
`FileSystemSandboxPolicy` after the selected permission profile is
resolved.
- Exact paths become `FileSystemPath::Path { access: None }`; glob
patterns become `FileSystemPath::GlobPattern { access: None }`.
- When managed deny-read entries are present, `sandbox_mode` is
constrained to `read-only` or `workspace-write`; `danger-full-access`
and `external-sandbox` cannot silently bypass the managed read-deny
policy.
- On Windows, the managed deny-read policy is enforced for direct file
tools, but shell subprocess reads are not sandboxed yet, so startup
emits a warning for that platform.
- `/debug-config` shows the effective managed requirement as
`permissions.filesystem.deny_read` with its source.

## Stack
1. #15979 - glob deny-read policy/config/direct-tool support
2. #18096 - macOS and Linux sandbox enforcement
3. This PR - managed deny-read requirements

npm i -g @openai/codex
or brew install --cask codex

Codex CLI is a coding agent from OpenAI that runs locally on your computer.

Codex CLI splash


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

Install globally with your preferred package manager:

# 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
  • Linux
    • x86_64: codex-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz
    • arm64: codex-aarch64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz

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.
