## Summary
- treat `requirements.toml` `allowed_domains` and `denied_domains` as
managed network baselines for the proxy
- in restricted modes by default, build the effective runtime policy
from the managed baseline plus user-configured allowlist and denylist
entries, so common hosts can be pre-approved without blocking later user
expansion
- add `experimental_network.managed_allowed_domains_only = true` to pin
the effective allowlist to managed entries, ignore user allowlist
additions, and hard-deny non-managed domains without prompting
- apply `managed_allowed_domains_only` anywhere managed network
enforcement is active, including full access, while continuing to
respect denied domains from all sources
- add regression coverage for merged-baseline behavior, managed-only
behavior, and full-access managed-only enforcement
## Behavior
Assuming `requirements.toml` defines both
`experimental_network.allowed_domains` and
`experimental_network.denied_domains`.
### Default mode
- By default, the effective allowlist is
`experimental_network.allowed_domains` plus user or persisted allowlist
additions.
- By default, the effective denylist is
`experimental_network.denied_domains` plus user or persisted denylist
additions.
- Allowlist misses can go through the network approval flow.
- Explicit denylist hits and local or private-network blocks are still
hard-denied.
- When `experimental_network.managed_allowed_domains_only = true`, only
managed `allowed_domains` are respected, user allowlist additions are
ignored, and non-managed domains are hard-denied without prompting.
- Denied domains continue to be respected from all sources.
### Full access
- With managed requirements present, the effective allowlist is pinned
to `experimental_network.allowed_domains`.
- With managed requirements present, the effective denylist is pinned to
`experimental_network.denied_domains`.
- There is no allowlist-miss approval path in full access.
- Explicit denylist hits are hard-denied.
- `experimental_network.managed_allowed_domains_only = true` now also
applies in full access, so managed-only behavior remains in effect
anywhere managed network enforcement is active.
## Why
`SandboxPolicy` currently mixes together three separate concerns:
- parsing layered config from `config.toml`
- representing filesystem sandbox state
- carrying basic network policy alongside filesystem choices
That makes the existing config awkward to extend and blocks the new TOML
proposal where `[permissions]` becomes a table of named permission
profiles selected by `default_permissions`. (The idea is that if
`default_permissions` is not specified, we assume the user is opting
into the "traditional" way to configure the sandbox.)
This PR adds the config-side plumbing for those profiles while still
projecting back to the legacy `SandboxPolicy` shape that the current
macOS and Linux sandbox backends consume.
It also tightens the filesystem profile model so scoped entries only
exist for `:project_roots`, and so nested keys must stay within a
project root instead of using `.` or `..` traversal.
This drops support for the short-lived `[permissions.network]` in
`config.toml` because now that would be interpreted as a profile named
`network` within `[permissions]`.
## What Changed
- added `PermissionsToml`, `PermissionProfileToml`,
`FilesystemPermissionsToml`, and `FilesystemPermissionToml` so config
can parse named profiles under `[permissions.<profile>.filesystem]`
- added top-level `default_permissions` selection, validation for
missing or unknown profiles, and compilation from a named profile into
split `FileSystemSandboxPolicy` and `NetworkSandboxPolicy` values
- taught config loading to choose between the legacy `sandbox_mode` path
and the profile-based path without breaking legacy users
- introduced `codex-protocol::permissions` for the split filesystem and
network sandbox types, and stored those alongside the legacy projected
`sandbox_policy` in runtime `Permissions`
- modeled `FileSystemSpecialPath` so only `ProjectRoots` can carry a
nested `subpath`, matching the intended config syntax instead of
allowing invalid states for other special paths
- restricted scoped filesystem maps to `:project_roots`, with validation
that nested entries are non-empty descendant paths and cannot use `.` or
`..` to escape the project root
- kept existing runtime consumers working by projecting
`FileSystemSandboxPolicy` back into `SandboxPolicy`, with an explicit
error for profiles that request writes outside the workspace root
- loaded proxy settings from top-level `[network]`
- regenerated `core/config.schema.json`
## Verification
- added config coverage for profile deserialization,
`default_permissions` selection, top-level `[network]` loading, network
enablement, rejection of writes outside the workspace root, rejection of
nested entries for non-`:project_roots` special paths, and rejection of
parent-directory traversal in `:project_roots` maps
- added protocol coverage for the legacy bridge rejecting non-workspace
writes
## Docs
- update the Codex config docs on developers.openai.com/codex to
document named `[permissions.<profile>]` entries, `default_permissions`,
scoped `:project_roots` syntax, the descendant-path restriction for
nested `:project_roots` entries, and top-level `[network]` proxy
configuration

## Summary
- reject the global `*` domain pattern in proxy allow/deny lists and
managed constraints introduced for testing earlier
- keep exact hosts plus scoped wildcards like `*.example.com` and
`**.example.com`
- update docs and regression tests for the new invalid-config behavior
## Summary
- delete the network proxy admin server and its runtime listener/task
plumbing
- remove the admin endpoint config, runtime, requirement, protocol,
schema, and debug-surface fields
- update proxy docs to reflect the remaining HTTP and SOCKS listeners
only
**PR Summary**
This PR adds embedded-only OTEL policy audit logging for
`codex-network-proxy` and threads audit metadata from `codex-core` into
managed proxy startup.
### What changed
- Added structured audit event emission in `network_policy.rs` with
target `codex_otel.network_proxy`.
- Emitted:
- `codex.network_proxy.domain_policy_decision` once per domain-policy
evaluation.
- `codex.network_proxy.block_decision` for non-domain denies.
- Added required policy/network fields, RFC3339 UTC millisecond
`event.timestamp`, and fallback defaults (`http.request.method="none"`,
`client.address="unknown"`).
- Added non-domain deny audit emission in HTTP/SOCKS handlers for
mode-guard and proxy-state denies, including unix-socket deny paths.
- Added `REASON_UNIX_SOCKET_UNSUPPORTED` and used it for unsupported
unix-socket auditing.
- Added `NetworkProxyAuditMetadata` to runtime/state, re-exported from
`lib.rs` and `state.rs`.
- Added `start_proxy_with_audit_metadata(...)` in core config, with
`start_proxy()` delegating to default metadata.
- Wired metadata construction in `codex.rs` from session/auth context,
including originator sanitization for OTEL-safe tagging.
- Updated `network-proxy/README.md` with embedded-mode audit schema and
behavior notes.
- Refactored HTTP block-audit emission to a small local helper to reduce
duplication.
- Preserved existing unix-socket proxy-disabled host/path behavior for
responses and blocked history while using an audit-only endpoint
override (`server.address="unix-socket"`, `server.port=0`).
### Explicit exclusions
- No standalone proxy OTEL startup work.
- No `main.rs` binary wiring.
- No `standalone_otel.rs`.
- No standalone docs/tests.
### Tests
- Extended `network_policy.rs` tests for event mapping, metadata
propagation, fallbacks, timestamp format, and target prefix.
- Extended HTTP tests to assert unix-socket deny block audit events.
- Extended SOCKS tests to cover deny emission from handler deny
branches.
- Added/updated core tests to verify audit metadata threading into
managed proxy state.
### Validation run
- `just fmt`
- `cargo test -p codex-network-proxy` ✅
- `cargo test -p codex-core` ran with one unrelated flaky timeout
(`shell_snapshot::tests::snapshot_shell_does_not_inherit_stdin`), and
the test passed when rerun directly ✅

## Summary
Adds support for a Unix socket escape hatch so we can bypass socket
allowlisting when explicitly enabled.
## Description
* added a new flag, `network.dangerously_allow_all_unix_sockets` as an
explicit escape hatch
* In codex-network-proxy, enabling that flag now allows any absolute
Unix socket path from x-unix-socket instead of requiring each path to be
explicitly allowlisted. Relative paths are still rejected.
* updated the macOS seatbelt path in core so it enforces the same Unix
socket behavior:
* allowlisted sockets generate explicit network* subpath rules
* allow-all generates a broad network* (subpath "/") rule

## Summary
- enable local-use defaults in network proxy settings: SOCKS5 on, SOCKS5
UDP on, upstream proxying on, and local binding on
- add a regression test that asserts the full
`NetworkProxySettings::default()` baseline
- Fixed managed listener reservation behavior.
Before: we always reserved a loopback SOCKS listener, even when
enable_socks5 = false.
Now: SOCKS listener is only reserved when SOCKS is enabled.
- Fixed /debug-config env output for SOCKS-disabled sessions.
ALL_PROXY now shows the HTTP proxy URL when SOCKS is disabled (instead
of incorrectly showing socks5h://...).
## Validation
- just fmt
- cargo test -p codex-network-proxy
- cargo clippy -p codex-network-proxy --all-targets
Summary:
- Rename config table from network_proxy to network.
- Flatten allowed_domains, denied_domains, allow_unix_sockets, and
allow_local_binding onto NetworkProxySettings.
- Update runtime, state constraints, tests, and README to the new config
shape.
### Summary
- Adds an optional SOCKS5 listener via `rama-socks5`
- SOCKS5 is disabled by default and gated by config
- Reuses existing policy enforcement and blocked-request recording
- Blocks SOCKS5 in limited mode to prevent method-policy bypass
- Applies bind clamping to the SOCKS5 listener
### Config
New/used fields under `network_proxy`:
- `enable_socks5`
- `socks_url`
- `enable_socks5_udp`
### Scope
- Changes limited to `codex-rs/network-proxy` (+ `codex-rs/Cargo.lock`)
### Testing
```bash
cd codex-rs
just fmt
cargo test -p codex-network-proxy --offline
This add a new crate, `codex-network-proxy`, a local network proxy
service used by Codex to enforce fine-grained network policy (domain
allow/deny) and to surface blocked network events for interactive
approvals.
- New crate: `codex-rs/network-proxy/` (`codex-network-proxy` binary +
library)
- Core capabilities:
- HTTP proxy support (including CONNECT tunneling)
- SOCKS5 proxy support (in the later PR)
- policy evaluation (allowed/denied domain lists; denylist wins;
wildcard support)
- small admin API for polling/reload/mode changes
- optional MITM support for HTTPS CONNECT to enforce “limited mode”
method restrictions (later PR)
Will follow up integration with codex in subsequent PRs.
## Testing
- `cd codex-rs && cargo build -p codex-network-proxy`
- `cd codex-rs && cargo run -p codex-network-proxy -- proxy`
