Joe Florencio 9f75a0d395 Add cloud managed config layer support
Introduce an explicit enterprise-managed config layer source and the client-side machinery to materialize cloud-delivered config TOML fragments into the normal config stack. The new ConfigLayerSource::EnterpriseManaged variant carries the backend layer id and display name so diagnostics and debug output can point admins at the exact cloud layer that needs fixing.

Add codex_config::cloud_config_layers to build config layers from delivered fragments. The composition keeps backend layer order deterministic, resolves relative path settings against a supplied base directory for consistency with existing MDM-delivered config semantics, and stores the raw TOML with that base directory on ConfigLayerEntry so typed diagnostics can reparse non-file layers without relying on a synthetic filesystem path.

Keep this v1 pull-based and snapshot-oriented. The bundle loader/cache work can feed these helpers, but this change does not introduce dynamic refresh or announce/push semantics. Consumers continue to read the config state they are already handed.

Tighten provenance and diagnostics for non-file layers: enterprise-managed layers render as enterprise-managed config values in debug output, syntax/type errors use the layer display name, and synthetic hook source paths include the enterprise layer name/id when a filesystem path is needed for existing hook metadata surfaces.

Split hook provenance semantically by adding HookSource::CloudManagedConfig. Hooks delivered through enterprise-managed config layers now report cloud_managed_config / cloudManagedConfig, while hooks delivered through requirements remain CloudRequirements. The TUI labels the new source as Cloud-managed config, and analytics/core metric mappings were updated to include the new source.

Regenerate app-server protocol JSON and TypeScript schema fixtures for the new ConfigLayerSource and HookSource wire values.

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 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.
