## Summary - avoid setting a new process group when stdio is inherited (keeps child in foreground PG) - keep process-group isolation when stdio is redirected so killpg cleanup still works - prevents macOS job-control SIGTTIN stops that look like hangs after output ## Testing - `cargo build -p codex-cli` - `GIT_CONFIG_GLOBAL=/dev/null GIT_CONFIG_NOSYSTEM=1 CARGO_BIN_EXE_codex=/Users/denis/Code/codex/codex-rs/target/debug/codex /opt/homebrew/bin/timeout 30m cargo test -p codex-core -p codex-exec` ## Context This fixes macOS sandbox hangs for commands like `elixir -v` / `erl -noshell`, where the child was moved into a new process group while still attached to the controlling TTY. See issue #8690. ## Authorship & collaboration - This change and analysis were authored by **Codex** (AI coding agent). - Human collaborator: @seeekr provided repro environment, context, and review guidance. - CLI used: `codex-cli 0.77.0`. - Model: `gpt-5.2-codex (xhigh)`.

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 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.
