## Problem On Linux, Codex can be launched from a workspace path that is a symlink (for example, a symlinked checkout or a symlinked parent directory). Our sandbox policy intentionally canonicalizes writable/readable roots to the real filesystem path before building the bubblewrap mounts. That part is correct and needed for safety. The remaining bug was that bubblewrap could still inherit the helper process's logical cwd, which might be the symlinked alias instead of the mounted canonical path. In that case, the sandbox starts in a cwd that does not exist inside the sandbox namespace even though the real workspace is mounted. This can cause sandboxed commands to fail in symlinked workspaces. ## Fix This PR keeps the sandbox policy behavior the same, but separates two concepts that were previously conflated: - the canonical cwd used to define sandbox mounts and permissions - the caller's logical cwd used when launching the command On the Linux bubblewrap path, we now thread the logical command cwd through the helper explicitly and only add `--chdir <canonical path>` when the logical cwd differs from the mounted canonical path. That means: - permissions are still computed from canonical paths - bubblewrap starts the command from a cwd that definitely exists inside the sandbox - we do not widen filesystem access or undo the earlier symlink hardening ## Why This Is Safe This is a narrow Linux-only launch fix, not a policy change. - Writable/readable root canonicalization stays intact. - Protected metadata carveouts still operate on canonical roots. - We only override bubblewrap's inherited cwd when the logical path would otherwise point at a symlink alias that is not mounted in the sandbox. ## Tests - kept the existing protocol/core regression coverage for symlink canonicalization - added regression coverage for symlinked cwd handling in the Linux bubblewrap builder/helper path Local validation: - `just fmt` - `cargo test -p codex-protocol` - `cargo test -p codex-core normalize_additional_permissions_canonicalizes_symlinked_write_paths` - `cargo clippy -p codex-linux-sandbox -p codex-protocol -p codex-core --tests -- -D warnings` - `cargo build --bin codex` ## Context This is related to #14694. The earlier writable-root symlink fix addressed the mount/permission side; this PR fixes the remaining symlinked-cwd launch mismatch in the Linux sandbox path. |

codex-protocol
This crate defines the "types" for the protocol used by Codex CLI, which includes both "internal types" for communication between codex-core and codex-tui, as well as "external types" used with codex app-server.
This crate should have minimal dependencies.
Ideally, we should avoid "material business logic" in this crate, as we can always introduce Ext-style traits to add functionality to types in other crates.
