## Why The legacy Windows sandbox still carried a `persist_aces` mode switch, even though the only path that meaningfully applies filesystem ACEs today is `workspace-write`, which already uses the persistent behavior. Legacy read-only sessions rely on the read-only capability SID rather than per-command filesystem ACE mutation, so the temporary cleanup branch had become conceptual overhead without a corresponding behavioral need. Removing that split makes the ACL lifecycle match the current sandbox model more directly and trims the guard/revocation plumbing from the legacy launcher paths. ## What changed - Removed the `persist_aces` parameter from legacy ACL preparation. - Made legacy deny-read handling always use the persistent reconciliation path. - Dropped guard tracking and post-exit ACE revocation from both capture and unified-exec legacy flows. - Kept workspace `.codex` / `.agents` protection tied directly to `WorkspaceWrite` instead of an intermediate persistence flag. ## Verification - `cargo fmt -p codex-windows-sandbox` - `git diff --check` - `cargo test -p codex-windows-sandbox` - 85 passed, 2 ignored, 2 (unrelated) failed locally.
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.
