## Why The Windows sandbox runner still carried the old `SandboxPolicy` compatibility path even though core now computes `PermissionProfile`. That meant Windows command-runner execution could only see the legacy projection, so profile-only filesystem rules such as deny globs were not part of the runner input. ## What Changed - Removed the Windows-local `SandboxPolicy` parser/export and deleted `windows-sandbox-rs/src/policy.rs`. - Changed restricted-token capture/session setup, elevated setup, world-writable audit, read-root grant, and command-runner session APIs to accept `PermissionProfile` plus the profile cwd. - Bumped the elevated command-runner IPC protocol to version 2 because `SpawnRequest` now carries `permission_profile` / `permission_profile_cwd` instead of the legacy `policy_json_or_preset` / `sandbox_policy_cwd` fields. - Updated core exec, unified exec, debug-sandbox, TUI setup/grant flows, and app-server setup to pass the actual effective `PermissionProfile`. - Left regression coverage asserting the old IPC policy fields are absent and the runner serializes tagged `PermissionProfile` JSON. ## Verification - `cargo test -p codex-windows-sandbox` - `cargo test -p codex-core windows_sandbox` - `cargo test -p codex-app-server request_processors::windows_sandbox_processor` - `just fix -p codex-windows-sandbox -p codex-core -p codex-app-server -p codex-cli -p codex-tui` - `just fix -p codex-cli -p codex-tui` - `just fix -p codex-windows-sandbox -p codex-tui` - `rg "\\bSandboxPolicy\\b" codex-rs/windows-sandbox-rs` returned no matches. Note: `cargo test -p codex-cli` was attempted but did not reach crate tests because local disk filled while compiling dependencies (`No space left on device`). The targeted clippy pass compiled the affected CLI/TUI surfaces afterward. --- [//]: # (BEGIN SAPLING FOOTER) Stack created with [Sapling](https://sapling-scm.com).

Codex CLI is a coding agent from OpenAI that runs locally on your computer.
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
Run the following on Mac or Linux to install Codex CLI:
curl -fsSL https://chatgpt.com/codex/install.sh | sh
Run the following on Windows to install Codex CLI:
powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -c "irm https://chatgpt.com/codex/install.ps1 | iex"
Codex CLI can also be installed via the following package managers:
# 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
- Apple Silicon/arm64:
- Linux
- x86_64:
codex-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz - arm64:
codex-aarch64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz
- x86_64:
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.
