feat: initial import of Rust implementation of Codex CLI in codex-rs/ (#629)
As stated in `codex-rs/README.md`:
Today, Codex CLI is written in TypeScript and requires Node.js 22+ to
run it. For a number of users, this runtime requirement inhibits
adoption: they would be better served by a standalone executable. As
maintainers, we want Codex to run efficiently in a wide range of
environments with minimal overhead. We also want to take advantage of
operating system-specific APIs to provide better sandboxing, where
possible.
To that end, we are moving forward with a Rust implementation of Codex
CLI contained in this folder, which has the following benefits:
- The CLI compiles to small, standalone, platform-specific binaries.
- Can make direct, native calls to
[seccomp](https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/seccomp.2.html) and
[landlock](https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/landlock.7.html) in
order to support sandboxing on Linux.
- No runtime garbage collection, resulting in lower memory consumption
and better, more predictable performance.
Currently, the Rust implementation is materially behind the TypeScript
implementation in functionality, so continue to use the TypeScript
implmentation for the time being. We will publish native executables via
GitHub Releases as soon as we feel the Rust version is usable.

core: expand default sandbox (#3483)
this adds some more capabilities to the default sandbox which I feel are
safe. Most are in the
[renderer.sb](https://source.chromium.org/chromium/chromium/src/+/main:sandbox/policy/mac/renderer.sb)
sandbox for chrome renderers, which i feel is fair game for codex
commands.
Specific changes:
1. Allow processes in the sandbox to send signals to any other process
in the same sandbox (e.g. child processes or daemonized processes),
instead of just themselves.
2. Allow user-preference-read
3. Allow process-info* to anything in the same sandbox. This is a bit
wider than Chromium allows, but it seems OK to me to allow anything in
the sandbox to get details about other processes in the same sandbox.
Bazel uses these to e.g. wait for another process to exit.
4. Allow all CPU feature detection, this seems harmless to me. It's
wider than Chromium, but Chromium is concerned about fingerprinting, and
tightly controls what CPU features they actually care about, and we
don't have either that restriction or that advantage.
5. Allow new sysctl-reads:
```
(sysctl-name "vm.loadavg")
(sysctl-name-prefix "kern.proc.pgrp.")
(sysctl-name-prefix "kern.proc.pid.")
(sysctl-name-prefix "net.routetable.")
```
bazel needs these for waiting on child processes and for communicating
with its local build server, i believe. I wonder if we should just allow
all (sysctl-read), as reading any arbitrary info about the system seems
fine to me.
6. Allow iokit-open on RootDomainUserClient. This has to do with power
management I believe, and Chromium allows renderers to do this, so okay.
Bazel needs it to boot successfully, possibly for sleep/wake callbacks?
7. Mach lookup to `com.apple.system.opendirectoryd.libinfo`, which has
to do with user data, and which Chrome allows.
8. Mach lookup to `com.apple.PowerManagement.control`. Chromium allows
its GPU process to do this, but not its renderers. Bazel needs this to
boot, probably relatedly to sleep/wake stuff.

Bazel uses these to e.g. wait for another process to exit.
4. Allow all CPU feature detection, this seems harmless to me. It's
wider than Chromium, but Chromium is concerned about fingerprinting, and
tightly controls what CPU features they actually care about, and we
don't have either that restriction or that advantage.
5. Allow new sysctl-reads:
```
(sysctl-name "vm.loadavg")
(sysctl-name-prefix "kern.proc.pgrp.")
(sysctl-name-prefix "kern.proc.pid.")
(sysctl-name-prefix "net.routetable.")
```
bazel needs these for waiting on child processes and for communicating
with its local build server, i believe. I wonder if we should just allow
all (sysctl-read), as reading any arbitrary info about the system seems
fine to me.
6. Allow iokit-open on RootDomainUserClient. This has to do with power
management I believe, and Chromium allows renderers to do this, so okay.
Bazel needs it to boot successfully, possibly for sleep/wake callbacks?
7. Mach lookup to `com.apple.system.opendirectoryd.libinfo`, which has
to do with user data, and which Chrome allows.
8. Mach lookup to `com.apple.PowerManagement.control`. Chromium allows
its GPU process to do this, but not its renderers. Bazel needs this to
boot, probably relatedly to sleep/wake stuff.

feat: initial import of Rust implementation of Codex CLI in codex-rs/ (#629)
As stated in `codex-rs/README.md`:
Today, Codex CLI is written in TypeScript and requires Node.js 22+ to
run it. For a number of users, this runtime requirement inhibits
adoption: they would be better served by a standalone executable. As
maintainers, we want Codex to run efficiently in a wide range of
environments with minimal overhead. We also want to take advantage of
operating system-specific APIs to provide better sandboxing, where
possible.
To that end, we are moving forward with a Rust implementation of Codex
CLI contained in this folder, which has the following benefits:
- The CLI compiles to small, standalone, platform-specific binaries.
- Can make direct, native calls to
[seccomp](https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/seccomp.2.html) and
[landlock](https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/landlock.7.html) in
order to support sandboxing on Linux.
- No runtime garbage collection, resulting in lower memory consumption
and better, more predictable performance.
Currently, the Rust implementation is materially behind the TypeScript
implementation in functionality, so continue to use the TypeScript
implmentation for the time being. We will publish native executables via
GitHub Releases as soon as we feel the Rust version is usable.

core: expand default sandbox (#3483)
this adds some more capabilities to the default sandbox which I feel are
safe. Most are in the
[renderer.sb](https://source.chromium.org/chromium/chromium/src/+/main:sandbox/policy/mac/renderer.sb)
sandbox for chrome renderers, which i feel is fair game for codex
commands.
Specific changes:
1. Allow processes in the sandbox to send signals to any other process
in the same sandbox (e.g. child processes or daemonized processes),
instead of just themselves.
2. Allow user-preference-read
3. Allow process-info* to anything in the same sandbox. This is a bit
wider than Chromium allows, but it seems OK to me to allow anything in
the sandbox to get details about other processes in the same sandbox.
Bazel uses these to e.g. wait for another process to exit.
4. Allow all CPU feature detection, this seems harmless to me. It's
wider than Chromium, but Chromium is concerned about fingerprinting, and

Fix MacOS multiprocessing by relaxing sandbox (#1808)
The following test script fails in the codex sandbox:
```
import multiprocessing
from multiprocessing import Lock, Process
def f(lock):
with lock:
print("Lock acquired in child process")
if __name__ == '__main__':
lock = Lock()
p = Process(target=f, args=(lock,))
p.start()
p.join()
```
with
```
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Users/david.hao/code/codex/codex-rs/cli/test.py", line 9, in <module>
lock = Lock()
^^^^^^
File "/Users/david.hao/.local/share/uv/python/cpython-3.12.9-macos-aarch64-none/lib/python3.12/multiprocessing/context.py", line 68, in Lock
return Lock(ctx=self.get_context())

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
PermissionError: [Errno 1] Operation not permitted
```
After reading, adding this line to the sandbox configs fixes things -
MacOS multiprocessing appears to use sem_lock(), which opens an IPC
which is considered a disk write even though no file is created. I
interrogated ChatGPT about whether it's okay to loosen, and my
impression after reading is that it is, although would appreciate a
close look
Breadcrumb: You can run `cargo run -- debug seatbelt --full-auto <cmd>`
