js_repl: canonicalize paths for node_modules boundary checks (#12177)
## Summary

Fix `js_repl` package-resolution boundary checks for macOS temp
directory path aliasing (`/var` vs `/private/var`).

## Problem

`js_repl` verifies that resolved bare-package imports stay inside a
configured `node_modules` root.
On macOS, temp directories are commonly exposed as `/var/...` but
canonicalize to `/private/var/...`.
Because the boundary check compared raw paths with `path.relative(...)`,
valid resolutions under temp dirs could be misclassified as escaping the
allowed base, causing false `Module not found` errors.

## Changes

- Add `fs` import in the JS kernel.
- Add `canonicalizePath()` using `fs.realpathSync.native(...)` (with
safe fallback).
- Canonicalize both `base` and `resolvedPath` before running the
`node_modules` containment check.

## Impact

- Fixes false-negative boundary checks for valid package resolutions in
macOS temp-dir scenarios.
- Keeps the existing security boundary behavior intact.
- Scope is limited to `js_repl` kernel module path validation logic.

or brew install --cask codex

Codex CLI is a coding agent from OpenAI that runs locally on your computer.

Codex CLI splash


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
  • Linux
    • x86_64: codex-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz
    • arm64: codex-aarch64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz

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.

Using Codex with your ChatGPT plan

Run codex and select Sign in with ChatGPT. We recommend signing into your ChatGPT account to use Codex as part of your Plus, Pro, Team, Edu, or Enterprise plan. Learn more about what's included in your ChatGPT plan.

You can also use Codex with an API key, but this requires additional setup.
