Michael Bolin 46b8d127cf sandboxing: preserve denied paths when widening permissions (#13451)
## Why

After the split-policy plumbing landed, additional-permissions widening
still rebuilt filesystem access through the legacy projection in a few
places.

That can erase explicit deny entries and make the runtime treat a policy
as fully writable even when it still has blocked subpaths, which in turn
can skip the platform sandbox when it is still needed.

## What changed

- preserved explicit deny entries when merging additional read and write
permissions into `FileSystemSandboxPolicy`
- switched platform-sandbox selection to rely on
`FileSystemSandboxPolicy::has_full_disk_write_access()` instead of ad
hoc root-write checks
- kept the widened policy path in `core/src/exec.rs` and
`core/src/sandboxing/mod.rs` aligned so denied subpaths survive both
policy merging and sandbox selection
- added regression coverage for root-write policies that still carry
carveouts

## Verification

- added regression coverage in `core/src/sandboxing/mod.rs` showing that
root write plus carveouts still requires the platform sandbox
- verified the current PR state with `just clippy`

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.

Using Codex with your ChatGPT plan

Run codex and select Sign in with ChatGPT. We recommend signing into your ChatGPT account to use Codex as part of your Plus, Pro, Team, Edu, or Enterprise plan. Learn more about what's included in your ChatGPT plan.

You can also use Codex with an API key, but this requires additional setup.
