Michael Bolin 6e10142199 fix: preserve deny-read sandboxing for safe commands (#23943)
## Why

Permission profiles can mark filesystem entries as unreadable with
`deny` rules, including glob patterns. Several shell execution paths
treated known-safe commands or execpolicy `allow` rules as sufficient to
run outside the filesystem sandbox. That is not valid for read-capable
commands: for example, `cat` or `ls` may be reasonable to allow
generally, but dropping the sandbox would also drop deny-read
constraints such as `**/*.env`.

## What changed

- Added a shared check that treats active deny-read restrictions as
incompatible with unsandboxed execution.
- Kept first-attempt execution sandboxed for explicit escalation and
execpolicy allow bypasses when deny-read entries are present.
- Prevented no-sandbox retry after a sandbox denial when the active
filesystem policy contains deny-read entries.
- Updated the zsh-fork execve path so prefix-rule `allow` decisions
continue inside the current sandbox when deny-read restrictions are
active.

## Verification

- `cargo test -p codex-core tools::sandboxing::tests`
- `cargo test -p codex-core
tools::runtimes::shell::unix_escalation::tests`
- `cargo test -p codex-core

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

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
  • 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
