Previously, `codex exec` was printing `Warning: no file to write last
message to` as a warning to stderr even though `--output-last-message`
was not specified, which is wrong. This fixes the code and changes
`handle_last_message()` so that it is only called when
`last_message_path` is `Some`.

Added:
* C-m for newline (not sure if this is actually treated differently to
Enter, but tui-textarea handles it and it doesn't hurt)
* C-d to delete one char forwards (same as Del)
* A-bksp to delete backwards one word
* A-arrows to navigate by word
The existing prompt is really bad. As a low-hanging fruit, let's correct
the apply_patch instructions - this helps smaller models successfully
apply patches.
Allows users to set their experimental_instructions_file in configs.
For example the below enables experimental instructions when running
`codex -p foo`.
```
[profiles.foo]
experimental_instructions_file = "/Users/foo/.codex/prompt.md"
```
# Testing
- ✅ Running against a profile with experimental_instructions_file works.
- ✅ Running against a profile without experimental_instructions_file
works.
- ✅ Running against no profile with experimental_instructions_file
works.
- ✅ Running against no profile without experimental_instructions_file
works.
This lets us show an accumulating diff across all patches in a turn.
Refer to the docs for TurnDiffTracker for implementation details.
There are multiple ways this could have been done and this felt like the
right tradeoff between reliability and completeness:
*Pros*
* It will pick up all changes to files that the model touched including
if they prettier or another command that updates them.
* It will not pick up changes made by the user or other agents to files
it didn't modify.
*Cons*
* It will pick up changes that the user made to a file that the model
also touched
* It will not pick up changes to codegen or files that were not modified
with apply_patch
## Summary
Users frequently complain about re-approving commands that have failed
for non-sandbox reasons. We can't diagnose with complete accuracy which
errors happened because of a sandbox failure, but we can start to
eliminate some common simple cases.
This PR captures the most common case I've seen, which is a `command not
found` error.
## Testing
- [x] Added unit tests
- [x] Ran a few cases locally
This replaces tui-textarea with a custom textarea component.
Key differences:
1. wrapped lines
2. better unicode handling
3. uses the native terminal cursor
This should perhaps be spun out into its own separate crate at some
point, but for now it's convenient to have it in-tree.
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):

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>`
to test the sandbox
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.
Introduce conversation.create handler (handle_create_conversation) and
wire it in MessageProcessor.

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 fixes a bug in insert_history_lines where writing
`Line::From(vec!["A".bold(), "B".into()])` would write "B" as bold,
because "B" didn't explicitly subtract bold.

This delays the call to insert_history_lines until a redraw is
happening. Crucially, the new lines are inserted _after the viewport is
resized_. This results in fewer stray blank lines below the viewport
when modals (e.g. user approval) are closed.
when we enabled KKP in https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/1743, we
started receiving keyup events, but didn't expect them anywhere in our
code. for now, just don't dispatch them at all.
At 550 lines, `exec.rs` was a bit large. In particular, I found it hard
to locate the Seatbelt-related code quickly without a file with
`seatbelt` in the name, so this refactors things so:
- `spawn_command_under_seatbelt()` and dependent code moves to a new
`seatbelt.rs` file
- `spawn_child_async()` and dependent code moves to a new `spawn.rs`
file
This is a follow-up to https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/1705, as
that PR inadvertently lost the logic where `PatchApplyBeginEvent` and
`PatchApplyEndEvent` events were sent when patches were auto-approved.
Though as part of this fix, I believe this also makes an important
safety fix to `assess_patch_safety()`, as there was a case that returned
`SandboxType::None`, which arguably is the thing we were trying to avoid
in #1705.
On a high level, we want there to be only one codepath where
`apply_patch` happens, which should be unified with the patch to run
`exec`, in general, so that sandboxing is applied consistently for both
cases.
Prior to this change, `apply_patch()` in `core` would either:
* exit early, delegating to `exec()` to shell out to `apply_patch` using
the appropriate sandbox
* proceed to run the logic for `apply_patch` in memory
549846b29a/codex-rs/core/src/apply_patch.rs (L61-L63)
In this implementation, only the latter would dispatch
`PatchApplyBeginEvent` and `PatchApplyEndEvent`, though the former would
dispatch `ExecCommandBeginEvent` and `ExecCommandEndEvent` for the
`apply_patch` call (or, more specifically, the `codex
--codex-run-as-apply-patch PATCH` call).
To unify things in this PR, we:
* Eliminate the back half of the `apply_patch()` function, and instead
have it also return with `DelegateToExec`, though we add an extra field
to the return value, `user_explicitly_approved_this_action`.
* In `codex.rs` where we process `DelegateToExec`, we use
`SandboxType::None` when `user_explicitly_approved_this_action` is
`true`. This means **we no longer run the apply_patch logic in memory**,
as we always `exec()`. (Note this is what allowed us to delete so much
code in `apply_patch.rs`.)
* In `codex.rs`, we further update `notify_exec_command_begin()` and
`notify_exec_command_end()` to take additional fields to determine what
type of notification to send: `ExecCommand` or `PatchApply`.
Admittedly, this PR also drops some of the functionality about giving
the user the opportunity to expand the set of writable roots as part of
approving the `apply_patch` command. I'm not sure how much that was
used, and we should probably rethink how that works as we are currently
tidying up the protocol to the TUI, in general.
this fixes a couple of panics that would happen when trying to render
something larger than the terminal, or insert history lines when the top
of the viewport is at y=0.
the git tests were failing on my local machine due to gpg signing config
in my ~/.gitconfig. tests should not be affected by ~/.gitconfig, so
configure them to ignore it.
Simplify and improve many UI elements.
* Remove all-around borders in most places. These interact badly with
terminal resizing and look heavy. Prefer left-side-only borders.
* Make the viewport adjust to the size of its contents.
* <kbd>/</kbd> and <kbd>@</kbd> autocomplete boxes appear below the
prompt, instead of above it.
* Restyle the keyboard shortcut hints & move them to the left.
* Restyle the approval dialog.
* Use synchronized rendering to avoid flashing during rerenders.
