daveaitel-openai dcab40123f Agent jobs (spawn_agents_on_csv) + progress UI (#10935)
## Summary
- Add agent job support: spawn a batch of sub-agents from CSV, auto-run,
auto-export, and store results in SQLite.
- Simplify workflow: remove run/resume/get-status/export tools; spawn is
deterministic and completes in one call.
- Improve exec UX: stable, single-line progress bar with ETA; suppress
sub-agent chatter in exec.

## Why
Enables map-reduce style workflows over arbitrarily large repos using
the existing Codex orchestrator. This addresses review feedback about
overly complex job controls and non-deterministic monitoring.

## Demo (progress bar)
```
./codex-rs/target/debug/codex exec \
  --enable collab \
  --enable sqlite \
  --full-auto \
  --progress-cursor \
  -c agents.max_threads=16 \
  -C /Users/daveaitel/code/codex \
  - <<'PROMPT'
Create /tmp/agent_job_progress_demo.csv with columns: path,area and 30 rows:
path = item-01..item-30, area = test.

Then call spawn_agents_on_csv with:
- csv_path: /tmp/agent_job_progress_demo.csv
- instruction: "Run `python - <<'PY'` to sleep a random 0.3–1.2s, then output JSON with keys: path, score (int). Set score = 1."
- output_csv_path: /tmp/agent_job_progress_demo_out.csv
PROMPT
```

## Review feedback addressed
- Auto-start jobs on spawn; removed run/resume/status/export tools.
- Auto-export on success.
- More descriptive tool spec + clearer prompts.
- Avoid deadlocks on spawn failure; pending/running handled safely.
- Progress bar no longer scrolls; stable single-line redraw.

## Tests
- `cd codex-rs && cargo test -p codex-exec`
- `cd codex-rs && cargo build -p codex-cli`

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.
