this dramatically improves time to run `cargo test -p codex-core` (~25x
speedup).
before:
```
cargo test -p codex-core 35.96s user 68.63s system 19% cpu 8:49.80 total
```
after:
```
cargo test -p codex-core 5.51s user 8.16s system 63% cpu 21.407 total
```
both tests measured "hot", i.e. on a 2nd run with no filesystem changes,
to exclude compile times.
approach inspired by [Delete Cargo Integration
Tests](https://matklad.github.io/2021/02/27/delete-cargo-integration-tests.html),
we move all test cases in tests/ into a single suite in order to have a
single binary, as there is significant overhead for each test binary
executed, and because test execution is only parallelized with a single
binary.
This PR:
* Added the clippy.toml to configure allowable expect / unwrap usage in
tests
* Removed as many expect/allow lines as possible from tests
* moved a bunch of allows to expects where possible
Note: in integration tests, non `#[test]` helper functions are not
covered by this so we had to leave a few lingering `expect(expect_used`
checks around
When using codex-tui on a linux system I was unable to run `cargo
clippy` inside of codex due to:
```
[pid 3548377] socketpair(AF_UNIX, SOCK_SEQPACKET|SOCK_CLOEXEC, 0, <unfinished ...>
[pid 3548370] close(8 <unfinished ...>
[pid 3548377] <... socketpair resumed>0x7ffb97f4ed60) = -1 EPERM (Operation not permitted)
```
And
```
3611300 <... recvfrom resumed>0x708b8b5cffe0, 8, 0, NULL, NULL) = -1 EPERM (Operation not permitted)
```
This PR:
* Fixes a bug that disallowed AF_UNIX to allow it on `socket()`
* Adds recvfrom() to the syscall allow list, this should be fine since
we disable opening new sockets. But we should validate there is not a
open socket inheritance issue.
* Allow socketpair to be called for AF_UNIX
* Adds tests for AF_UNIX components
* All of which allows running `cargo clippy` within the sandbox on
linux, and possibly other tooling using a fork server model + AF_UNIX
comms.
This PR does two things because after I got deep into the first one I
started pulling on the thread to the second:
- Makes `ConversationManager` the place where all in-memory
conversations are created and stored. Previously, `MessageProcessor` in
the `codex-mcp-server` crate was doing this via its `session_map`, but
this is something that should be done in `codex-core`.
- It unwinds the `ctrl_c: tokio::sync::Notify` that was threaded
throughout our code. I think this made sense at one time, but now that
we handle Ctrl-C within the TUI and have a proper `Op::Interrupt` event,
I don't think this was quite right, so I removed it. For `codex exec`
and `codex proto`, we now use `tokio::signal::ctrl_c()` directly, but we
no longer make `Notify` a field of `Codex` or `CodexConversation`.
Changes of note:
- Adds the files `conversation_manager.rs` and `codex_conversation.rs`
to `codex-core`.
- `Codex` and `CodexSpawnOk` are no longer exported from `codex-core`:
other crates must use `CodexConversation` instead (which is created via
`ConversationManager`).
- `core/src/codex_wrapper.rs` has been deleted in favor of
`ConversationManager`.
- `ConversationManager::new_conversation()` returns `NewConversation`,
which is in line with the `new_conversation` tool we want to add to the
MCP server. Note `NewConversation` includes `SessionConfiguredEvent`, so
we eliminate checks in cases like `codex-rs/core/tests/client.rs` to
verify `SessionConfiguredEvent` is the first event because that is now
internal to `ConversationManager`.
- Quite a bit of code was deleted from
`codex-rs/mcp-server/src/message_processor.rs` since it no longer has to
manage multiple conversations itself: it goes through
`ConversationManager` instead.
- `core/tests/live_agent.rs` has been deleted because I had to update a
bunch of tests and all the tests in here were ignored, and I don't think
anyone ever ran them, so this was just technical debt, at this point.
- Removed `notify_on_sigint()` from `util.rs` (and in a follow-up, I
hope to refactor the blandly-named `util.rs` into more descriptive
files).
- In general, I started replacing local variables named `codex` as
`conversation`, where appropriate, though admittedly I didn't do it
through all the integration tests because that would have added a lot of
noise to this PR.

Replaces the `include_default_writable_roots` option on
`sandbox_workspace_write` (that defaulted to `true`, which was slightly
weird/annoying) with `exclude_tmpdir_env_var`, which defaults to
`false`.
Though perhaps more importantly `/tmp` is now enabled by default as part
of `sandbox_mode = "workspace-write"`, though `exclude_slash_tmp =
false` can be used to disable this.
## Summary
A split-up PR of #1763 , stacked on top of a tools refactor #1858 to
make the change clearer. From the previous summary:
> Let's try something new: tell the model about the sandbox, and let it
decide when it will need to break the sandbox. Some local testing
suggests that it works pretty well with zero iteration on the prompt!
## Testing
- [x] Added unit tests
- [x] Tested locally and it appears to work smoothly!
To make `--full-auto` safer, this PR updates the Seatbelt policy so that
a `SandboxPolicy` with a `writable_root` that contains a `.git/`
_directory_ will make `.git/` _read-only_ (though as a follow-up, we
should also consider the case where `.git` is a _file_ with a `gitdir:
/path/to/actual/repo/.git` entry that should also be protected).
The two major changes in this PR:
- Updating `SandboxPolicy::get_writable_roots_with_cwd()` to return a
`Vec<WritableRoot>` instead of a `Vec<PathBuf>` where a `WritableRoot`
can specify a list of read-only subpaths.
- Updating `create_seatbelt_command_args()` to honor the read-only
subpaths in `WritableRoot`.
The logic to update the policy is a fairly straightforward update to
`create_seatbelt_command_args()`, but perhaps the more interesting part
of this PR is the introduction of an integration test in
`tests/sandbox.rs`. Leveraging the new API in #1785, we test
`SandboxPolicy` under various conditions, including ones where `$TMPDIR`
is not readable, which is critical for verifying the new behavior.
To ensure that Codex can run its own tests, e.g.:
```
just codex debug seatbelt --full-auto -- cargo test if_git_repo_is_writable_root_then_dot_git_folder_is_read_only
```
I had to introduce the use of `CODEX_SANDBOX=sandbox`, which is
comparable to how `CODEX_SANDBOX_NETWORK_DISABLED=1` was already being
used.
Adding a comparable change for Landlock will be done in a subsequent PR.
Without this change, it is challenging to create integration tests to
verify that the folders not included in `writable_roots` in
`SandboxPolicy::WorkspaceWrite` are read-only because, by default,
`get_writable_roots_with_cwd()` includes `TMPDIR`, which is where most
integrationt
tests do their work.
This introduces a `use_exact_writable_roots` option to disable the
default
includes returned by `get_writable_roots_with_cwd()`.

## Summary
- stream command stdout as `ExecCommandStdout` events
- forward streamed stdout to clients and ignore in human output
processor
- adjust call sites for new streaming API
This PR adds a `load_dotenv()` helper function to the `codex-common`
crate that is available when the `cli` feature is enabled. The function
uses [`dotenvy`](https://crates.io/crates/dotenvy) to update the
environment from:
- `$CODEX_HOME/.env`
- `$(pwd)/.env`
To test:
- ran `printenv OPENAI_API_KEY` to verify the env var exists in my
environment
- ran `just codex exec hello` to verify the CLI uses my `OPENAI_API_KEY`
- ran `unset OPENAI_API_KEY`
- ran `just codex exec hello` again and got **ERROR: Missing environment
variable: `OPENAI_API_KEY`**, as expected
- created `~/.codex/.env` and added `OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-proj-...` (also
ran `chmod 400 ~/.codex/.env` for good measure)
- ran `just codex exec hello` again and it worked, verifying it picked
up `OPENAI_API_KEY` from `~/.codex/.env`
Note this functionality was available in the TypeScript CLI:
https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/122 and was recently requested over
on https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/1262#issuecomment-3093203551.
This is a major redesign of how sandbox configuration works and aims to
fix https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/1248. Specifically, it
replaces `sandbox_permissions` in `config.toml` (and the
`-s`/`--sandbox-permission` CLI flags) with a "table" with effectively
three variants:
```toml
# Safest option: full disk is read-only, but writes and network access are disallowed.
[sandbox]
mode = "read-only"
# The cwd of the Codex task is writable, as well as $TMPDIR on macOS.
# writable_roots can be used to specify additional writable folders.
[sandbox]
mode = "workspace-write"
writable_roots = [] # Optional, defaults to the empty list.
network_access = false # Optional, defaults to false.
# Disable sandboxing: use at your own risk!!!
[sandbox]
mode = "danger-full-access"
```
This should make sandboxing easier to reason about. While we have
dropped support for `-s`, the way it works now is:
- no flags => `read-only`
- `--full-auto` => `workspace-write`
- currently, there is no way to specify `danger-full-access` via a CLI
flag, but we will revisit that as part of
https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/1254
Outstanding issue:
- As noted in the `TODO` on `SandboxPolicy::is_unrestricted()`, we are
still conflating sandbox preferences with approval preferences in that
case, which needs to be cleaned up.
Users were running into issues with glibc mismatches on arm64 linux. In
the past, we did not provide a musl build for arm64 Linux because we had
trouble getting the openssl dependency to build correctly. Though today
I just tried the same trick in `Cargo.toml` that we were doing for
`x86_64-unknown-linux-musl` (using `openssl-sys` with `features =
["vendored"]`), so I'm not sure what problem we had in the past the
builds "just worked" today!
Though one tweak that did have to be made is that the integration tests
for Seccomp/Landlock empirically require longer timeouts on arm64 linux,
or at least on the `ubuntu-24.04-arm` GitHub Runner. As such, we change
the timeouts for arm64 in `codex-rs/linux-sandbox/tests/landlock.rs`.
Though in solving this problem, I decided I needed a turnkey solution
for testing the Linux build(s) from my Mac laptop, so this PR introduces
`.devcontainer/Dockerfile` and `.devcontainer/devcontainer.json` to
facilitate this. Detailed instructions are in `.devcontainer/README.md`.
We will update `dotslash-config.json` and other release-related scripts
in a follow-up PR.
Historically, we spawned the Seatbelt and Landlock sandboxes in
substantially different ways:
For **Seatbelt**, we would run `/usr/bin/sandbox-exec` with our policy
specified as an arg followed by the original command:
d1de7bb383/codex-rs/core/src/exec.rs (L147-L219)
For **Landlock/Seccomp**, we would do
`tokio::runtime::Builder::new_current_thread()`, _invoke
Landlock/Seccomp APIs to modify the permissions of that new thread_, and
then spawn the command:
d1de7bb383/codex-rs/core/src/exec_linux.rs (L28-L49)
While it is neat that Landlock/Seccomp supports applying a policy to
only one thread without having to apply it to the entire process, it
requires us to maintain two different codepaths and is a bit harder to
reason about. The tipping point was
https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/1061, in which we had to start
building up the `env` in an unexpected way for the existing
Landlock/Seccomp approach to continue to work.
This PR overhauls things so that we do similar things for Mac and Linux.
It turned out that we were already building our own "helper binary"
comparable to Mac's `sandbox-exec` as part of the `cli` crate:
d1de7bb383/codex-rs/cli/Cargo.toml (L10-L12)
We originally created this to build a small binary to include with the
Node.js version of the Codex CLI to provide support for Linux
sandboxing.
Though the sticky bit is that, at this point, we still want to deploy
the Rust version of Codex as a single, standalone binary rather than a
CLI and a supporting sandboxing binary. To satisfy this goal, we use
"the arg0 trick," in which we:
* use `std::env::current_exe()` to get the path to the CLI that is
currently running
* use the CLI as the `program` for the `Command`
* set `"codex-linux-sandbox"` as arg0 for the `Command`
A CLI that supports sandboxing should check arg0 at the start of the
program. If it is `"codex-linux-sandbox"`, it must invoke
`codex_linux_sandbox::run_main()`, which runs the CLI as if it were
`codex-linux-sandbox`. When acting as `codex-linux-sandbox`, we make the
appropriate Landlock/Seccomp API calls and then use `execvp(3)` to spawn
the original command, so do _replace_ the process rather than spawn a
subprocess. Incidentally, we do this before starting the Tokio runtime,
so the process should only have one thread when `execvp(3)` is called.
Because the `core` crate that needs to spawn the Linux sandboxing is not
a CLI in its own right, this means that every CLI that includes `core`
and relies on this behavior has to (1) implement it and (2) provide the
path to the sandboxing executable. While the path is almost always
`std::env::current_exe()`, we needed to make this configurable for
integration tests, so `Config` now has a `codex_linux_sandbox_exe:
Option<PathBuf>` property to facilitate threading this through,
introduced in https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/1089.
This common pattern is now captured in
`codex_linux_sandbox::run_with_sandbox()` and all of the `main.rs`
functions that should use it have been updated as part of this PR.
The `codex-linux-sandbox` crate added to the Cargo workspace as part of
this PR now has the bulk of the Landlock/Seccomp logic, which makes
`core` a bit simpler. Indeed, `core/src/exec_linux.rs` and
`core/src/landlock.rs` were removed/ported as part of this PR. I also
moved the unit tests for this code into an integration test,
`linux-sandbox/tests/landlock.rs`, in which I use
`env!("CARGO_BIN_EXE_codex-linux-sandbox")` as the value for
`codex_linux_sandbox_exe` since `std::env::current_exe()` is not
appropriate in that case.
