## Summary
- move `guardian_developer_instructions` from managed config into
workspace-managed `requirements.toml`
- have guardian continue using the override when present and otherwise
fall back to the bundled local guardian prompt
- keep the generalized prompt-quality improvements in the shared
guardian default prompt
- update requirements parsing, layering, schema, and tests for the new
source of truth
## Context
This replaces the earlier managed-config / MDM rollout plan.
The intended rollout path is workspace-managed requirements, including
cloud enterprise policies, rather than backend model metadata, Statsig,
or Jamf-managed config. That keeps the default/fallback behavior local
to `codex-rs` while allowing faster policy updates through the
enterprise requirements plane.
This is intentionally an admin-managed policy input, not a user
preference: the guardian prompt should come either from the bundled
`codex-rs` default or from enterprise-managed `requirements.toml`, and
normal user/project/session config should not override it.
## Updating The OpenAI Prompt
After this lands, the OpenAI-specific guardian prompt should be updated
through the workspace Policies UI at `/codex/settings/policies` rather
than through Jamf or codex-backend model metadata.
Operationally:
- open the workspace Policies editor as a Codex admin
- edit the default `requirements.toml` policy, or a higher-precedence
group-scoped override if we ever want different behavior for a subset of
users
- set `guardian_developer_instructions = """..."""` to the full
OpenAI-specific guardian prompt text
- save the policy; codex-backend stores the raw TOML and `codex-rs`
fetches the effective requirements file from `/wham/config/requirements`
When updating the OpenAI-specific prompt, keep it aligned with the
shared default guardian policy in `codex-rs` except for intentional
OpenAI-only additions.
## Testing
- `cargo check --tests -p codex-core -p codex-config -p
codex-cloud-requirements --message-format short`
- `cargo run -p codex-core --bin codex-write-config-schema`
- `cargo fmt`
- `git diff --check`
