## Summary - keep legacy Windows restricted-token sandboxing as the supported baseline - support the split-policy subset that restricted-token can enforce directly today - support full-disk read, the same writable root set as legacy `WorkspaceWrite`, and extra read-only carveouts under those writable roots via additional deny-write ACLs - continue to fail closed for unsupported split-only shapes, including explicit unreadable (`none`) carveouts, reopened writable descendants under read-only carveouts, and writable root sets that do not match the legacy workspace roots ## Example Given a filesystem policy like: ```toml ":root" = "read" ":cwd" = "write" "./docs" = "read" ``` the restricted-token backend can keep the workspace writable while denying writes under `docs` by layering an extra deny-write carveout on top of the legacy workspace-write roots. A policy like: ```toml "/workspace" = "write" "/workspace/docs" = "read" "/workspace/docs/tmp" = "write" ``` still fails closed, because the unelevated backend cannot reopen the nested writable descendant safely. ## Stack -> fix: support split carveouts in windows restricted-token sandbox #14172 fix: support split carveouts in windows elevated sandbox #14568
npm i -g @openai/codex
or brew install --cask codex
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
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
- 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.
