## Summary Implements Linux bubblewrap support for restricted `ReadOnlyAccess` (introduced in #11387) by honoring `readable_roots` and `include_platform_defaults` instead of failing closed. ## What changed - Added a Linux platform-default read allowlist for common system/runtime paths (e.g. /usr, /etc, /lib*, Nix store roots). - Updated the bwrap filesystem mount builder to support restricted read access: - Full-read policies still use `--ro-bind / /` - Restricted-read policies now start from` --tmpfs `/ and add scoped `--ro-bind` mounts - Preserved existing writable-root and protected-subpath behavior (`.git`, `.codex`, etc.). `ReadOnlyAccess::Restricted` was already modeled in protocol, but Linux bwrap still returned `UnsupportedOperation` for restricted read access. This closes that gap for the active Linux filesystem backend. ## Notes Legacy Linux Landlock fallback still fail-closes for restricted read access (unchanged). |

codex-linux-sandbox
This crate is responsible for producing:
- a
codex-linux-sandboxstandalone 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-execCLI can check if its arg0 iscodex-linux-sandboxand, if so, execute as if it werecodex-linux-sandbox - this should also be true of the
codexmultitool CLI
- the
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 bubblewrap pipeline is standardized on the vendored path.
- During rollout, the bubblewrap pipeline is gated by the temporary feature
flag
use_linux_sandbox_bwrap(CLI-calias forfeatures.use_linux_sandbox_bwrap; legacy remains default when off). - When enabled, the bubblewrap pipeline applies
PR_SET_NO_NEW_PRIVSand a seccomp network filter in-process. - When enabled, the filesystem is read-only by default via
--ro-bind / /. - When enabled, writable roots are layered with
--bind <root> <root>. - When enabled, protected subpaths under writable roots (for example
.git, resolvedgitdir:, and.codex) are re-applied as read-only via--ro-bind. - When enabled, symlink-in-path and non-existent protected paths inside
writable roots are blocked by mounting
/dev/nullon the symlink or first missing component. - When enabled, the helper isolates the PID namespace via
--unshare-pid. - When enabled 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-netplus 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 enabled, it mounts a fresh
/procvia--proc /procby 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.
