Fixes#12216
Fixes a panic in `AbsolutePathBuf::parent()` when the process hits file
descriptor exhaustion (`EMFILE` / "Too many open files").
### Root cause
`AbsolutePathBuf::parent()` was re-validating the parent path via
`from_absolute_path(...).expect(...)`.
`from_absolute_path()` calls `path_absolutize::absolutize()`, which can
depend on `std::env::current_dir()`. Under `EMFILE`, that can fail,
causing `parent()` to panic even though the parent of an absolute path
is already known.
### Change
- Stop re-absolutizing the result of `self.0.parent()`
- Construct `AbsolutePathBuf` directly from the known parent path
- Keep an invariant check with `debug_assert!(p.is_absolute())`
### Why this is safe
`self` is already an `AbsolutePathBuf`, so `self.0` is
absolute/normalized. The parent of an absolute path is expected to be
absolute, so re-running fallible normalization here is unnecessary and
can introduce unrelated panics.
### Motivation
- Prevent inputs like `~//` or `~///etc` from expanding to arbitrary
absolute paths (e.g. `/`) because `Path::join` discards the left side
when the right side is absolute, which could allow config values to
escape `HOME` and broaden writable roots.
### Description
- In `codex-rs/utils/absolute-path/src/lib.rs` update
`maybe_expand_home_directory` to trim leading separators from the suffix
and return `home` when the remainder is empty so tilde expansion stays
rooted under `HOME`.
- Add a non-Windows unit test
`home_directory_double_slash_on_non_windows_is_expanded_in_deserialization`
that validates `"~//code"` expands to `home.join("code")`.
### Testing
- Ran `just fmt` successfully.
- Ran `just fix -p codex-utils-absolute-path` (Clippy autofix)
successfully.
- Ran `cargo test -p codex-utils-absolute-path` and all tests passed.

This PR configures Codex CLI so it can be built with
[Bazel](https://bazel.build) in addition to Cargo. The `.bazelrc`
includes configuration so that remote builds can be done using
[BuildBuddy](https://www.buildbuddy.io).
If you are familiar with Bazel, things should work as you expect, e.g.,
run `bazel test //... --keep-going` to run all the tests in the repo,
but we have also added some new aliases in the `justfile` for
convenience:
- `just bazel-test` to run tests locally
- `just bazel-remote-test` to run tests remotely (currently, the remote
build is for x86_64 Linux regardless of your host platform). Note we are
currently seeing the following test failures in the remote build, so we
still need to figure out what is happening here:
```
failures:
suite::compact::manual_compact_twice_preserves_latest_user_messages
suite::compact_resume_fork::compact_resume_after_second_compaction_preserves_history
suite::compact_resume_fork::compact_resume_and_fork_preserve_model_history_view
```
- `just build-for-release` to build release binaries for all
platforms/architectures remotely
To setup remote execution:
- [Create a buildbuddy account](https://app.buildbuddy.io/) (OpenAI
employees should also request org access at
https://openai.buildbuddy.io/join/ with their `@openai.com` email
address.)
- [Copy your API key](https://app.buildbuddy.io/docs/setup/) to
`~/.bazelrc` (add the line `build
--remote_header=x-buildbuddy-api-key=YOUR_KEY`)
- Use `--config=remote` in your `bazel` invocations (or add `common
--config=remote` to your `~/.bazelrc`, or use the `just` commands)
## CI
In terms of CI, this PR introduces `.github/workflows/bazel.yml`, which
uses Bazel to run the tests _locally_ on Mac and Linux GitHub runners
(we are working on supporting Windows, but that is not ready yet). Note
that the failures we are seeing in `just bazel-remote-test` do not occur
on these GitHub CI jobs, so everything in `.github/workflows/bazel.yml`
is green right now.
The `bazel.yml` uses extra config in `.github/workflows/ci.bazelrc` so
that macOS CI jobs build _remotely_ on Linux hosts (using the
`docker://docker.io/mbolin491/codex-bazel` Docker image declared in the
root `BUILD.bazel`) using cross-compilation to build the macOS
artifacts. Then these artifacts are downloaded locally to GitHub's macOS
runner so the tests can be executed natively. This is the relevant
config that enables this:
```
common:macos --config=remote
common:macos --strategy=remote
common:macos --strategy=TestRunner=darwin-sandbox,local
```
Because of the remote caching benefits we get from BuildBuddy, these new
CI jobs can be extremely fast! For example, consider these two jobs that
ran all the tests on Linux x86_64:
- Bazel 1m37s
https://github.com/openai/codex/actions/runs/20861063212/job/59940545209?pr=8875
- Cargo 9m20s
https://github.com/openai/codex/actions/runs/20861063192/job/59940559592?pr=8875
For now, we will continue to run both the Bazel and Cargo jobs for PRs,
but once we add support for Windows and running Clippy, we should be
able to cutover to using Bazel exclusively for PRs, which should still
speed things up considerably. We will probably continue to run the Cargo
jobs post-merge for commits that land on `main` as a sanity check.
Release builds will also continue to be done by Cargo for now.

**Summary**
This PR makes “ApprovalDecision::AcceptForSession / don’t ask again this
session” actually work for `apply_patch` approvals by caching approvals
based on absolute file paths in codex-core, properly wiring it through
app-server v2, and exposing the choice in both TUI and TUI2.
- This brings `apply_patch` calls to be at feature-parity with general
shell commands, which also have a "Yes, and don't ask again" option.
- This also fixes VSCE's "Allow this session" button to actually work.
While we're at it, also split the app-server v2 protocol's
`ApprovalDecision` enum so execpolicy amendments are only available for
command execution approvals.
**Key changes**
- Core: per-session patch approval allowlist keyed by absolute file
paths
- Handles multi-file patches and renames/moves by recording both source
and destination paths for `Update { move_path: Some(...) }`.
- Extend the `Approvable` trait and `ApplyPatchRuntime` to work with
multiple keys, because an `apply_patch` tool call can modify multiple
files. For a request to be auto-approved, we will need to check that all
file paths have been approved previously.
- App-server v2: honor AcceptForSession for file changes
- File-change approval responses now map AcceptForSession to
ReviewDecision::ApprovedForSession (no longer downgraded to plain
Approved).
- Replace `ApprovalDecision` with two enums:
`CommandExecutionApprovalDecision` and `FileChangeApprovalDecision`
- TUI / TUI2: expose “don’t ask again for these files this session”
- Patch approval overlays now include a third option (“Yes, and don’t
ask again for these files this session (s)”).
- Snapshot updates for the approval modal.
**Tests added/updated**
- Core:
- Integration test that proves ApprovedForSession on a patch skips the
next patch prompt for the same file
- App-server:
- v2 integration test verifying
FileChangeApprovalDecision::AcceptForSession works properly
**User-visible behavior**
- When the user approves a patch “for session”, future patches touching
only those previously approved file(s) will no longer prompt gain during
that session (both via app-server v2 and TUI/TUI2).
**Manual testing**
Tested both TUI and TUI2 - see screenshots below.
TUI:

https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/8354 added support for in-repo
`.config/` files, so this PR updates the logic for loading `*.rules`
files to load `*.rules` files from all relevant layers. The main change
to the business logic is `load_exec_policy()` in
`codex-rs/core/src/exec_policy.rs`.
Note this adds a `config_folder()` method to `ConfigLayerSource` that
returns `Option<AbsolutePathBuf>` so that it is straightforward to
iterate over the sources and get the associated config folder, if any.
- We now support `.codex/config.toml` in repo (from `cwd` up to the
first `.git` found, if any) as layers in `ConfigLayerStack`. A new
`ConfigLayerSource::Project` variant was added to support this.
- In doing this work, I realized that we were resolving relative paths
in `config.toml` after merging everything into one `toml::Value`, which
is wrong: paths should be relativized with respect to the folder
containing the `config.toml` that was deserialized. This PR introduces a
deserialize/re-serialize strategy to account for this in
`resolve_config_paths()`. (This is why `Serialize` is added to so many
types as part of this PR.)
- Added tests to verify this new behavior.

`load_config_layers_state()` should load config from a
`.codex/config.toml` in any folder between the `cwd` for a thread and
the project root. Though in order to do that,
`load_config_layers_state()` needs to know what the `cwd` is, so this PR
does the work to thread the `cwd` through for existing callsites.
A notable exception is the `/config` endpoint in app server for which a
`cwd` is not guaranteed to be associated with the query, so the `cwd`
param is `Option<AbsolutePathBuf>` to account for this case.
The logic to make use of the `cwd` will be done in a follow-up PR.
Changes the `writable_roots` field of the `WorkspaceWrite` variant of
the `SandboxPolicy` enum from `Vec<PathBuf>` to `Vec<AbsolutePathBuf>`.
This is helpful because now callers can be sure the value is an absolute
path rather than a relative one. (Though when using an absolute path in
a Seatbelt config policy, we still have to _canonicalize_ it first.)
Because `writable_roots` can be read from a config file, it is important
that we are able to resolve relative paths properly using the parent
folder of the config file as the base path.
This PR attempts to solve two problems by introducing a
`AbsolutePathBuf` type with a special deserializer:
- `AbsolutePathBuf` attempts to be a generally useful abstraction, as it
ensures, by constructing, that it represents a value that is an
absolute, normalized path, which is a stronger guarantee than an
arbitrary `PathBuf`.
- Values in `config.toml` that can be either an absolute or relative
path should be resolved against the folder containing the `config.toml`
in the relative path case. This PR makes this easy to support: the main
cost is ensuring `AbsolutePathBufGuard` is used inside
`deserialize_config_toml_with_base()`.
While `AbsolutePathBufGuard` may seem slightly distasteful because it
relies on thread-local storage, this seems much cleaner to me than using
than my various experiments with
https://docs.rs/serde/latest/serde/de/trait.DeserializeSeed.html.
Further, since the `deserialize()` method from the `Deserialize` trait
is not async, we do not really have to worry about the deserialization
work being spread across multiple threads in a way that would interfere
with `AbsolutePathBufGuard`.
To start, this PR introduces the use of `AbsolutePathBuf` in
`OtelTlsConfig`. Note how this simplifies `otel_provider.rs` because it
no longer requires `settings.codex_home` to be threaded through.
Furthermore, this sets us up better for a world where multiple
`config.toml` files from different folders could be loaded and then
merged together, as the absolutifying of the paths must be done against
the correct parent folder.
