fix: follow up on linux sandbox review nits (#14440)
## Summary
- address the follow-up review nits from #13996 in a separate PR
- make the approvals test command a raw string and keep the
managed-network path using env proxy routing
- inline `--apply-seccomp-then-exec` in the Linux sandbox inner command
builder
- remove the bubblewrap-specific sandbox metric tag path and drop the
`use_legacy_landlock` shim from `sandbox_tag`/`TurnMetadataState::new`
- restore the `Feature` import that `origin/main` currently still needs
in `connectors.rs`

## Testing
- `cargo test -p codex-linux-sandbox`
- focused `codex-core` tests were rerun/started, but the final
verification pass was interrupted when I pushed at request

codex-linux-sandbox

This crate is responsible for producing:

  • a codex-linux-sandbox standalone 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-exec CLI can check if its arg0 is codex-linux-sandbox and, if so, execute as if it were codex-linux-sandbox
    • this should also be true of the codex multitool CLI

On Linux, the bubblewrap pipeline uses the vendored bubblewrap path compiled into this binary.

Current Behavior

  • Legacy Landlock + mount protections remain available as the legacy pipeline.
  • The default Linux sandbox pipeline is bubblewrap on the vendored path.
  • Set features.use_legacy_landlock = true (or CLI -c use_legacy_landlock=true) to force the legacy Landlock fallback.
  • When the default bubblewrap pipeline is active, it applies PR_SET_NO_NEW_PRIVS and a seccomp network filter in-process.
  • When the default bubblewrap pipeline is active, the filesystem is read-only by default via --ro-bind / /.
  • When the default bubblewrap pipeline is active, writable roots are layered with --bind <root> <root>.
  • When the default bubblewrap pipeline is active, protected subpaths under writable roots (for example .git, resolved gitdir:, and .codex) are re-applied as read-only via --ro-bind.
  • When the default bubblewrap pipeline is active, symlink-in-path and non-existent protected paths inside writable roots are blocked by mounting /dev/null on the symlink or first missing component.
  • When the default bubblewrap pipeline is active, the helper explicitly isolates the user namespace via --unshare-user and the PID namespace via --unshare-pid.
  • When the default bubblewrap pipeline is active and network is restricted without proxy routing, the helper also isolates the network namespace via --unshare-net.
  • In managed proxy mode, the helper uses --unshare-net plus an internal TCP->UDS->TCP routing bridge so tool traffic reaches only configured proxy endpoints.
  • In managed proxy mode, after the bridge is live, seccomp blocks new AF_UNIX/socketpair creation for the user command.
  • When the default bubblewrap pipeline is active, it mounts a fresh /proc via --proc /proc by default, but you can skip this in restrictive container environments with --no-proc.

Notes

  • The CLI surface still uses legacy names like codex debug landlock.
