## Stack
1. Parent PR: #18868 adds MITM hook config and model only.
2. This PR wires runtime enforcement.
3. User facing config follow up: #18240 moves MITM policy into the
PermissionProfile network tree.
## Why
1. After the hook model exists, the proxy needs a separate behavior
change that can be tested at the request path.
2. This PR makes hooked HTTPS hosts require MITM, evaluates inner
requests after CONNECT, mutates headers for matching hooks, and blocks
hooked hosts when no hook matches.
3. It also fixes the activation path so a permission profile with MITM
hook policy starts the managed proxy.
4. Keeping this separate from #18868 lets reviewers focus on runtime
effects, telemetry, and request mutation.
## Summary
1. Store compiled MITM hooks in network proxy state.
2. Require MITM for hooked hosts even when network mode is full.
3. Evaluate inner HTTPS requests against host specific hooks.
4. Apply hook actions by replacing request headers before forwarding.
5. Block hooked hosts when no hook matches and record block telemetry.
6. Treat profile MITM hook policy as managed proxy policy so the proxy
starts when needed.
7. Keep the duplicate authorization header replacement and query
preserving request rebuild in this runtime PR.
8. Add runtime tests and README guidance for hook enforcement.
## Validation
1. Ran the network proxy MITM policy tests.
2. Ran the hooked host CONNECT test.
3. Ran the authorization header replacement test.
4. Ran the core permission profile proxy activation test for MITM hooks.
5. Ran the scoped Clippy fixer for the network proxy crate.
6. Ran the scoped Clippy fixer for the core crate.
## Why
Recent Auto Review reports show Git traffic hanging through the local
proxy on both SSH and HTTPS paths. Today the support bundle does not
make it obvious whether a request is stuck before upstream dialing,
during the proxy hop, or after the upstream response begins, which slows
down root-cause triage.
This adds a small amount of runtime visibility at the existing proxy
boundaries without changing routing or policy behavior.
## What changed
- log whether HTTP and CONNECT traffic take the direct or upstream-proxy
route
- log start / success / failure timings for CONNECT, HTTP, and SOCKS5
upstream dials
- log CONNECT forwarding lifecycle events
- describe HTTP success at the response-header boundary that is actually
observed, rather than implying the full body finished
## Verification
- `cargo test -p codex-network-proxy`
- `cargo clippy -p codex-network-proxy --all-targets -- -D warnings`
## Why
The proxy checks the requested host before opening the upstream
connection, but DNS can resolve an allowed hostname to a loopback,
private, or other non-public address after that first decision. Without
a final check on the actual socket target, a request that looks
acceptable at the hostname layer can still connect to a local service
once resolution completes.
## What changed
- add a shared TCP connector check for direct proxy egress
- use that path for HTTP, `CONNECT`, SOCKS5, and MITM upstream
connections
- keep configured upstream proxy hops on the existing proxy path
- add direct-connector coverage for allowed and rejected local targets
## Security impact
Direct proxy egress now rechecks the resolved socket address before
connecting, closing the gap between hostname policy evaluation and the
final network target.
## Verification
- `cargo test -p codex-network-proxy`

## Why
`argument-comment-lint` was green in CI even though the repo still had
many uncommented literal arguments. The main gap was target coverage:
the repo wrapper did not force Cargo to inspect test-only call sites, so
examples like the `latest_session_lookup_params(true, ...)` tests in
`codex-rs/tui_app_server/src/lib.rs` never entered the blocking CI path.
This change cleans up the existing backlog, makes the default repo lint
path cover all Cargo targets, and starts rolling that stricter CI
enforcement out on the platform where it is currently validated.
## What changed
- mechanically fixed existing `argument-comment-lint` violations across
the `codex-rs` workspace, including tests, examples, and benches
- updated `tools/argument-comment-lint/run-prebuilt-linter.sh` and
`tools/argument-comment-lint/run.sh` so non-`--fix` runs default to
`--all-targets` unless the caller explicitly narrows the target set
- fixed both wrappers so forwarded cargo arguments after `--` are
preserved with a single separator
- documented the new default behavior in
`tools/argument-comment-lint/README.md`
- updated `rust-ci` so the macOS lint lane keeps the plain wrapper
invocation and therefore enforces `--all-targets`, while Linux and
Windows temporarily pass `-- --lib --bins`
That temporary CI split keeps the stricter all-targets check where it is
already cleaned up, while leaving room to finish the remaining Linux-
and Windows-specific target-gated cleanup before enabling
`--all-targets` on those runners. The Linux and Windows failures on the
intermediate revision were caused by the wrapper forwarding bug, not by
additional lint findings in those lanes.
## Validation
- `bash -n tools/argument-comment-lint/run.sh`
- `bash -n tools/argument-comment-lint/run-prebuilt-linter.sh`
- shell-level wrapper forwarding check for `-- --lib --bins`
- shell-level wrapper forwarding check for `-- --tests`
- `just argument-comment-lint`
- `cargo test` in `tools/argument-comment-lint`
- `cargo test -p codex-terminal-detection`
## Follow-up
- Clean up remaining Linux-only target-gated callsites, then switch the
Linux lint lane back to the plain wrapper invocation.
- Clean up remaining Windows-only target-gated callsites, then switch
the Windows lint lane back to the plain wrapper invocation.
**PR Summary**
This PR adds embedded-only OTEL policy audit logging for
`codex-network-proxy` and threads audit metadata from `codex-core` into
managed proxy startup.
### What changed
- Added structured audit event emission in `network_policy.rs` with
target `codex_otel.network_proxy`.
- Emitted:
- `codex.network_proxy.domain_policy_decision` once per domain-policy
evaluation.
- `codex.network_proxy.block_decision` for non-domain denies.
- Added required policy/network fields, RFC3339 UTC millisecond
`event.timestamp`, and fallback defaults (`http.request.method="none"`,
`client.address="unknown"`).
- Added non-domain deny audit emission in HTTP/SOCKS handlers for
mode-guard and proxy-state denies, including unix-socket deny paths.
- Added `REASON_UNIX_SOCKET_UNSUPPORTED` and used it for unsupported
unix-socket auditing.
- Added `NetworkProxyAuditMetadata` to runtime/state, re-exported from
`lib.rs` and `state.rs`.
- Added `start_proxy_with_audit_metadata(...)` in core config, with
`start_proxy()` delegating to default metadata.
- Wired metadata construction in `codex.rs` from session/auth context,
including originator sanitization for OTEL-safe tagging.
- Updated `network-proxy/README.md` with embedded-mode audit schema and
behavior notes.
- Refactored HTTP block-audit emission to a small local helper to reduce
duplication.
- Preserved existing unix-socket proxy-disabled host/path behavior for
responses and blocked history while using an audit-only endpoint
override (`server.address="unix-socket"`, `server.port=0`).
### Explicit exclusions
- No standalone proxy OTEL startup work.
- No `main.rs` binary wiring.
- No `standalone_otel.rs`.
- No standalone docs/tests.
### Tests
- Extended `network_policy.rs` tests for event mapping, metadata
propagation, fallbacks, timestamp format, and target prefix.
- Extended HTTP tests to assert unix-socket deny block audit events.
- Extended SOCKS tests to cover deny emission from handler deny
branches.
- Added/updated core tests to verify audit metadata threading into
managed proxy state.
### Validation run
- `just fmt`
- `cargo test -p codex-network-proxy` ✅
- `cargo test -p codex-core` ran with one unrelated flaky timeout
(`shell_snapshot::tests::snapshot_shell_does_not_inherit_stdin`), and
the test passed when rerun directly ✅

## Summary
Simplify network approvals by removing per-attempt proxy correlation and
moving to session-level approval dedupe keyed by (host, protocol, port).
Instead of encoding attempt IDs into proxy credentials/URLs, we now
treat approvals as a destination policy decision.
- Concurrent calls to the same destination share one approval prompt.
- Different destinations (or same host on different ports) get separate
prompts.
- Allow once approves the current queued request group only.
- Allow for session caches that (host, protocol, port) and auto-allows
future matching requests.
- Never policy continues to deny without prompting.
Example:
- 3 calls:
- a.com (line 443)
- b.com (line 443)
- a.com (line 443)
=> 2 prompts total (a, b), second a waits on the first decision.
- a.com:80 is treated separately from a.com line 443
## Testing
- `just fmt` (in `codex-rs`)
- `cargo test -p codex-core tools::network_approval::tests`
- `cargo test -p codex-core` (unit tests pass; existing
integration-suite failures remain in this environment)
## Summary
When network requests were blocked, downstream code often had to infer
ask vs deny from free-form response text. That was brittle and led to
incorrect approval behavior.
This PR fixes the proxy side so blocked decisions are structured and
request metadata survives reliably.
## Description
- Blocked proxy responses now carry consistent structured policy
decision data.
- Request attempt metadata is preserved across proxy env paths
(including ALL_PROXY flows).
- Header stripping was tightened so we still remove unsafe forwarding
headers, but keep metadata needed for policy handling.
- Block messages were clarified (for example, allowlist miss vs explicit
deny).
- Added unified violation log entries so policy failures can be
inspected in one place.
- Added/updated tests for these behaviors.

Codex may run many per-thread proxy instances, so hardcoded proxy ports
are brittle and conflict-prone. The previous "ephemeral" approach still
had a race: `build()` read `local_addr()` from temporary listeners and
dropped them before `run()` rebound the ports. That left a
[TOCTOU](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time-of-check_to_time-of-use)
window where the OS (or another process) could reuse the same port,
causing intermittent `EADDRINUSE` and partial proxy startup.
Change the managed proxy path to reserve real listener sockets up front
and keep them alive until startup:
- add `ReservedListeners` on `NetworkProxy` to hold HTTP/SOCKS/admin std
listeners allocated during `build()`
- in managed mode, bind `127.0.0.1:0` for each listener and carry those
bound sockets into `run()` instead of rebinding by address later
- add `run_*_with_std_listener` entry points for HTTP, SOCKS5, and admin
servers so `run()` can start services from already-reserved sockets
- keep static/configured ports only when `managed_by_codex(false)`,
including explicit `socks_addr` override support
- remove fallback synthetic port allocation and add tests for managed
ephemeral loopback binding and unmanaged configured-port behavior
This makes managed startup deterministic, avoids port collisions, and
preserves the intended distinction between Codex-managed ephemeral ports
and externally managed fixed ports.
## Summary
Add explicit, model-visible network policy decision metadata to blocked
proxy responses/errors.
Introduces a standardized prefix line: `CODEX_NETWORK_POLICY_DECISION
{json}`
and wires it through blocked paths for:
- HTTP requests
- HTTPS CONNECT
- SOCKS5 TCP/UDP denials
## Why
The model should see *why* a request was blocked
(reason/source/protocol/host/port) so it can choose the correct next
action.
## Notes
- This PR is intentionally independent of config-layering/network-rule
runtime integration.
- Focus is blocked decision surface only.
Constructors with long param lists can be hard to reason about when a
number of the args are `None`, in practice. Introducing a struct to use
as the args type helps make things more self-documenting.
### Summary
- Adds an optional SOCKS5 listener via `rama-socks5`
- SOCKS5 is disabled by default and gated by config
- Reuses existing policy enforcement and blocked-request recording
- Blocks SOCKS5 in limited mode to prevent method-policy bypass
- Applies bind clamping to the SOCKS5 listener
### Config
New/used fields under `network_proxy`:
- `enable_socks5`
- `socks_url`
- `enable_socks5_udp`
### Scope
- Changes limited to `codex-rs/network-proxy` (+ `codex-rs/Cargo.lock`)
### Testing
```bash
cd codex-rs
just fmt
cargo test -p codex-network-proxy --offline
