Auto and Auto-accept-edits turns replace Codex’s configured workspace-write policy with a bare one, losing network access and temporary-directory exclusions. Fixes #13987.

Read Codex’s effective config for the runtime cwd before each default workspace-write turn, preserving its network access, writable roots, and both temporary-directory exclusions. Keep sending the policy each turn so mode changes apply immediately. Explicit sandbox policies, Full access, and approval-required turns make no lookup. Selected or managed permission profiles keep the previous bare policy; absent tables and selected defaults skip the requirements read. Both reads share a five-second deadline, with warning and bare-policy fallback on failure or malformed replies. This fallback retains main’s behavior, including default temporary-directory access.

Maintainer takeover of @gabrielrojasc’s implementation, preserving the original commits and @JonasFocus’s effective-config approach. Removed one-use helpers and lengthy implementation commentary.

Validation: 175 adapter tests and five scoped caller/replay tests pass, plus targeted lint/formatting and server typecheck. Six completed turns through the actual adapter and Codex 0.163.0 on Linux verified user/project/launch precedence, relative-root resolution, fresh config, mode changes, selected-profile exclusion, and saved native turn policies. Additional replay probes verified a hung config read, malformed requirements, and one deadline across both reads. The committed regression coverage was reduced from nine cases to six.

No model command or network enforcement was tested. Managed requirements use replay/source proof; Windows, macOS, mobile/Electron UI, and older supported CLIs (including the managed 0.156.1) were not run live; compatibility with 0.156.1 was checked against upstream source. Non-null default profile selection conservatively keeps the bare policy even if another layer’s sandbox mode would select the legacy table.

Implementation: GPT-6.1 Sol (high), Codex harness through T3 Code. Test minimization: GPT-6 Astra (high), Codex harness through T3 Code.

Independent whole-PR reviews: Claude Opus 5.5 and GPT-6 Sol found no blockers at this head.

Fixes #13987

Approvability

Verdict: Needs Human Approval

Macroscope's review found this PR requires human approval — Automatic workspace-write turns now inherit configured network access, writable roots, and temporary-directory settings when no explicit sandbox policy is provided. Human review is needed to confirm this change to effective default permissions is intended.

Walkthrough

For turns whose runtime-mode default is workspaceWrite, the adapter reads Codex configuration and applies supported workspace-write settings to the default turn policy. If reads fail or time out, the turn starts without copied settings.

Changes: Codex auto-mode workspace-write settings

Layer / File(s) Summary
Decode and apply workspace-write settings
apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Adapters/CodexAdapterV2.ts
The adapter decodes writable roots, network access, and temporary-directory exclusions, then applies defined values to the default workspaceWrite policy. Explicit sandbox policies keep their existing handling.
Read config before auto turn start
apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Adapters/CodexAdapterV2.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Adapters/CodexAdapterV2.test.ts
Eligible turns read Codex configuration and permission requirements with a five-second timeout. The adapter omits copied settings when permission profiles are configured or a read fails. Replay tests cover configured settings, profile selection, missing or unsupported responses, and timeout fallback.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Change: Bug fix · Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Suggested reviewers: juliusmarminge

Merge Risk: Moderate · previous review 08706

Resumed Auto turns may receive sandbox settings from the wrong project. Resolve or explicitly accept that risk before merging.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 08706

Auto turns can now use configured network access and additional writable paths. Explicit sandbox policies and other access modes remain unchanged. No introduced security violation was established, but restored permission profiles and configuration changes during turn startup still require runtime validation.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — Successful inheritance can expand agent command capabilities relative to the base to include configured additional writable paths and network access. Exposure follows the effective configuration returned for each eligible turn, including ordinary turns, restart continuations, and initial goal turns; it is not restricted to a single operation.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The adapter accepts policy values from Codex effective configuration, not from the turn message. It decodes only the relevant table and profile indicators and preserves explicit caller policy precedence. Validation of configuration-layer trust and restored-profile enforcement remains an upstream runtime coverage gap.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — The lookup and turn-start are separate RPCs without an adapter-level snapshot binding. Concurrent configuration changes and interrupted or concurrent starts therefore remain unproven security-transition cases, rather than established stale-policy vulnerabilities.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Validate the transition against the supported Codex runtime with resumed and forked profiles, configuration changes between lookup and startup, and interrupted or concurrent starts. Confirm effective network, writable-root, and temporary-directory controls rather than only the emitted request payload.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #13987 requires Auto and Auto-accept-edits turns to retain configured workspace-write network access and writable roots. CodexAdapterV2 reads effective sandbox_workspace_write settings and copies writable_roots, network_access, exclude_tmpdir_env_var, and exclude_slash_tmp into the per-turn policy. The adapter sends the policy on every applicable turn. Replay tests cover configured values, read failures, timeouts, profile selection, and managed requirements. This satisfies the linked coding requirements.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changes are limited to CodexAdapterV2 and its replay tests. Configuration decoding, profile checks, timeout handling, warnings, fallback behavior, and policy mapping support issue #13987. Full-access and approval-required turns remain unchanged. No unrelated product behavior is demonstrated.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description explains the problem, the implementation, the linked issue, verification results, and limitations. It does not use the template headings or state explicit maintainer approval of the scope, but the required information is mostly present.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Auto and Auto-accept-edits turns sent a bare workspaceWrite sandbox policy, which reset network access, writable roots and the tmp exclusions that Codex resolved from config. Read sandbox_workspace_write with config/read before those turns and carry its fields into the turn policy, falling back to the bare policy if the read fails.
…ion profiles

Codex ignores [sandbox_workspace_write] when managed requirements set allowed_permission_profiles, but config/read still returns the table. Read configRequirements/read when a table exists and keep the bare workspaceWrite policy if profiles are managed or the read fails.
…ons selects a profile

T3 starts Codex threads without a sandbox mode, so with default_permissions set Codex runs the thread under that permission profile and ignores [sandbox_workspace_write]. Copying the table into the turn policy granted network access and writable roots that the profile excludes. Keep the bare workspaceWrite policy when config/read returns default_permissions, and skip configRequirements/read in that case.

Taking over this one as maintainer for batch codex-07. I will preserve your commits, bring the branch up to current main, simplify the implementation and tests, and verify effective configuration, permission profiles, and runtime mode changes against a real Codex app server. I will push the result here for review; nothing will be merged. Thanks for the detailed probes and upstream analysis.

Evidence

Configure Codex launch arguments as -c sandbox_workspace_write.network_access=true, then ask a new thread to run gh api user --jq .login inside the sandbox without escalation. Repeat in Auto and Auto-accept edits.

Environment for every capture: Linux web dev server, fresh isolated database, synthetic Git workspace, real Codex CLI 0.167.1, Chromium 1280×633, light theme. Exports hide private operational metadata and crop the sidebar/workspace; conversation output and permission modes are unchanged.

Mode Before — a03d9bce02 After — 67a25c490f
Auto Before: Auto network failure After: Auto network success
Auto recording Before recording After recording
Auto-accept edits Before: Auto-accept edits network failure After: Auto-accept edits network success
Auto-accept edits recording Before recording After recording

Both base modes recorded workspace-write with network_access=false; the command exited 1. Both head modes recorded network_access=true; the command exited 0 and returned the authenticated login. Actual policies and tool I/O: before, after.

Reproduction notes, turn capture driver, stable still driver, native policy extractor.

AI-assisted; verified with the tests and tools listed above.

Not shown:

  • Runtime-mode transitions within an existing thread were not exercised; the comparison used new threads in each requested mode.
  • Configured writable roots, temporary-directory exclusions, permission-profile guards, explicit policy overrides, and config-read failure fallback were not exercised; this proof covers configured network access.
