evawong-oai 3cae84009a Use named MITM permissions config (#18240)
## Stack
1. Parent PR: #18868 adds MITM hook config and model only.
2. Parent PR: #20659 wires hook enforcement into the proxy request path.
3. This PR changes the user facing PermissionProfile TOML shape.

## Why
1. The broader goal is to make MITM clamping usable from the same
permission profile that already controls network behavior.
2. This PR is the config UX layer for the stack. It moves MITM policy
into `[permissions.<profile>.network.mitm]` instead of exposing the flat
runtime shape to users.
3. The named hook and action tables belong here because users need
reusable policy blocks that are easy to review, while the proxy runtime
only needs a flat hook list.
4. This PR validates action refs during config parsing so mistakes in
the user facing policy fail before a proxy session starts.
5. Keeping the lowering here lets the proxy keep its simpler runtime
model and lets PermissionProfile remain the single source of network
permission policy.

## Summary
1. Keep MITM policy inside `[permissions.<profile>.network.mitm]` so the
selected PermissionProfile owns network proxy policy.
2. Use named MITM hooks under
`[permissions.<profile>.network.mitm.hooks.<name>]`.
3. Put host, methods, path prefixes, query, headers, body, and action
refs on the hook table.
4. Define reusable action blocks under
`[permissions.<profile>.network.mitm.actions.<name>]`.
5. Represent action blocks with `NetworkMitmActionToml`, then lower them
into the proxy runtime action config.
6. Reject unknown refs, empty refs, and empty action blocks during
config parsing.
7. Keep the runtime hook model unchanged by lowering config into the
existing proxy hook list.
8. Preserve the #20659 activation fix for nested MITM policy.

## Example
```toml
[permissions.workspace.network.mitm]
enabled = true

[permissions.workspace.network.mitm.hooks.github_write]
host = "api.github.com"
methods = ["POST", "PUT"]
path_prefixes = ["/repos/openai/"]
action = ["strip_auth"]

[permissions.workspace.network.mitm.actions.strip_auth]
strip_request_headers = ["authorization"]
```

## Validation
1. Regenerated the config schema.
2. Ran the core MITM config parsing and validation tests.
3. Ran the core PermissionProfile MITM proxy activation tests.
4. Ran the core config schema fixture test.
5. Ran the network proxy MITM policy tests.
6. Ran the scoped Clippy fixer for the network proxy crate.
7. Ran the scoped Clippy fixer for the core crate.

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 keeps the legacy default preferences read access (user-preference-read) needed for cfprefs-backed macOS behavior.

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.

Legacy SandboxPolicy / sandbox_mode configs are still supported on Linux. They can continue to use the legacy Landlock path when the split filesystem policy is sandbox-equivalent to the legacy model after cwd resolution. Split filesystem policies that need direct FileSystemSandboxPolicy enforcement, such as read-only or denied carveouts under a broader writable root, automatically route through bubblewrap. The legacy Landlock path is used only when the split filesystem policy round-trips through the legacy SandboxPolicy model without changing semantics. That includes overlapping cases like /repo = write, /repo/a = none, /repo/a/b = write, where the more specific writable child must reopen under a denied parent.

The Linux sandbox helper prefers the first bwrap found on PATH outside the current working directory whenever it is available. If bwrap is present but too old to support --argv0, the helper keeps using system bubblewrap and switches to a no---argv0 compatibility path for the inner re-exec. If bwrap is missing, it falls back to the bundled codex-resources/bwrap binary shipped with Codex and Codex surfaces a startup warning through its normal notification path instead of printing directly from the sandbox helper. Codex also surfaces a startup warning when bubblewrap cannot create user namespaces. WSL2 uses the normal Linux bubblewrap path. WSL1 is not supported for bubblewrap sandboxing because it cannot create the required user namespaces, so Codex rejects sandboxed shell commands that would enter the bubblewrap path before invoking bwrap.

Windows

Legacy SandboxPolicy / sandbox_mode configs are still supported on Windows. Legacy read-only and workspace-write policies imply full filesystem read access; exact readable roots are represented by split filesystem policies instead.

The elevated Windows sandbox also supports:

  • legacy ReadOnly and WorkspaceWrite behavior
  • split filesystem policies that need exact readable roots, exact writable roots, or extra read-only carveouts under writable roots
  • backend-managed system read roots required for basic execution, such as C:\Windows, C:\Program Files, C:\Program Files (x86), and C:\ProgramData, when a split filesystem policy requests platform defaults

The unelevated restricted-token backend still supports the legacy full-read Windows model for legacy ReadOnly and WorkspaceWrite behavior. It also supports a narrow split-filesystem subset: full-read split policies whose writable roots still match the legacy WorkspaceWrite root set, but add extra read-only carveouts under those writable roots.

New [permissions] / split filesystem policies remain supported on Windows only when they can be enforced directly by the selected Windows backend or round-trip through the legacy SandboxPolicy model without changing semantics. Policies that would require direct explicit unreadable carveouts (none) or reopened writable descendants under read-only carveouts still fail closed instead of running with weaker enforcement.

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.
