## Summary This is PR 2 of the Windows sandbox runner split. PR 1 introduced the framed IPC runner foundation and related Windows sandbox infrastructure without changing the active elevated one-shot execution path. This PR switches that elevated one-shot path over to the new runner IPC transport and removes the old request-file bootstrap that PR 1 intentionally left in place. After this change, ordinary elevated Windows sandbox commands still behave as one-shot executions, but they now run as the simple case of the same helper/IPC transport that later unified_exec work will build on. ## Why this is needed for unified_exec Windows elevated sandboxed execution crosses a user boundary: the CLI launches a helper as the sandbox user and has to manage command execution from outside that security context. For one-shot commands, the old request-file/bootstrap flow was sufficient. For unified_exec, it is not. Unified_exec needs a long-lived bidirectional channel so the parent can: - send a spawn request - receive structured spawn success/failure - stream stdout and stderr incrementally - eventually support stdin writes, termination, and other session lifecycle events This PR does not add long-lived sessions yet. It converts the existing elevated one-shot path to use the same framed IPC transport so that PR 3 can add unified_exec session semantics on top of a transport that is already exercised by normal elevated command execution. ## Scope This PR: - updates `windows-sandbox-rs/src/elevated_impl.rs` to launch the runner with named pipes, send a framed `SpawnRequest`, wait for `SpawnReady`, and collect framed `Output`/`Exit` messages - removes the old `--request-file=...` execution path from `windows-sandbox-rs/src/elevated/command_runner_win.rs` - keeps the public behavior one-shot: no session reuse or interactive unified_exec behavior is introduced here This PR does not: - add Windows unified_exec session support - add background terminal reuse - add PTY session lifecycle management ## Why Windows needs this and Linux/macOS do not On Linux and macOS, the existing sandbox/process model composes much more directly with long-lived process control. The parent can generally spawn and own the child process (or PTY) directly inside the sandbox model we already use. Windows elevated sandboxing is different. The parent is not directly managing the sandboxed process in the same way; it launches across a different user/security context. That means long-lived control requires an explicit helper process plus IPC for spawn, output, exit, and later stdin/session control. So the extra machinery here is not because unified_exec is conceptually different on Windows. It is because the elevated Windows sandbox boundary requires a helper-mediated transport to support it cleanly. ## Validation - `cargo test -p codex-windows-sandbox` |

npm i -g @openai/codex
or brew install --cask codex
Codex CLI is a coding agent from OpenAI that runs locally on your computer.
If you want Codex in your code editor (VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf), install in your IDE.
If you want the desktop app experience, run
codex app or visit the Codex App page.
If you are looking for the cloud-based agent from OpenAI, Codex Web, go to chatgpt.com/codex.
Quickstart
Installing and running Codex CLI
Install globally with your preferred package manager:
# Install using npm
npm install -g @openai/codex
# Install using Homebrew
brew install --cask codex
Then simply run codex to get started.
You can also go to the latest GitHub Release and download the appropriate binary for your platform.
Each GitHub Release contains many executables, but in practice, you likely want one of these:
- macOS
- Apple Silicon/arm64:
codex-aarch64-apple-darwin.tar.gz - x86_64 (older Mac hardware):
codex-x86_64-apple-darwin.tar.gz
- Apple Silicon/arm64:
- Linux
- x86_64:
codex-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz - arm64:
codex-aarch64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz
- x86_64:
Each archive contains a single entry with the platform baked into the name (e.g., codex-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl), so you likely want to rename it to codex after extracting it.
