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.

codex-linux-sandbox
This crate is responsible for producing:
- a
codex-linux-sandboxstandalone executable for Linux that is bundled with the Node.js version of the Codex CLI - a lib crate that exposes the business logic of the executable as
run_main()so that- the
codex-execCLI can check if its arg0 iscodex-linux-sandboxand, if so, execute as if it werecodex-linux-sandbox - this should also be true of the
codexmultitool CLI
- the
