Propagate the extracted parent tool item id through the CONNECT limited-mode MITM-required block path so core can attribute the denial to the correct active tool call. Also derive PartialEq/Eq for BlockedRequest to keep the focused regression test as a full-object assertion.

Bundle proxy-disabled response parameters into a single typed args struct so the callsites stay readable and clippy stops flagging the helper for too many arguments.

Remove the synthetic network approval token and carry parent_tool_item_id directly through the managed proxy attribution path.
Co-authored-by: Codex <noreply@openai.com>
Thread a stable network owner id through managed proxy credentials and use it to resolve the exact active tool call for blocked network requests. This makes concurrent network approvals attribute deterministically and preserves parent tool item ids downstream.

## Why
Once the repo-local lint exists, `codex-rs` needs to follow the
checked-in convention and CI needs to keep it from drifting. This commit
applies the fallback `/*param*/` style consistently across existing
positional literal call sites without changing those APIs.
The longer-term preference is still to avoid APIs that require comments
by choosing clearer parameter types and call shapes. This PR is
intentionally the mechanical follow-through for the places where the
existing signatures stay in place.
After rebasing onto newer `main`, the rollout also had to cover newly
introduced `tui_app_server` call sites. That made it clear the first cut
of the CI job was too expensive for the common path: it was spending
almost as much time installing `cargo-dylint` and re-testing the lint
crate as a representative test job spends running product tests. The CI
update keeps the full workspace enforcement but trims that extra
overhead from ordinary `codex-rs` PRs.
## What changed
- keep a dedicated `argument_comment_lint` job in `rust-ci`
- mechanically annotate remaining opaque positional literals across
`codex-rs` with exact `/*param*/` comments, including the rebased
`tui_app_server` call sites that now fall under the lint
- keep the checked-in style aligned with the lint policy by using
`/*param*/` and leaving string and char literals uncommented
- cache `cargo-dylint`, `dylint-link`, and the relevant Cargo
registry/git metadata in the lint job
- split changed-path detection so the lint crate's own `cargo test` step
runs only when `tools/argument-comment-lint/*` or `rust-ci.yml` changes
- continue to run the repo wrapper over the `codex-rs` workspace, so
product-code enforcement is unchanged
Most of the code changes in this commit are intentionally mechanical
comment rewrites or insertions driven by the lint itself.
## Verification
- `./tools/argument-comment-lint/run.sh --workspace`
- `cargo test -p codex-tui-app-server -p codex-tui`
- parsed `.github/workflows/rust-ci.yml` locally with PyYAML

## Summary
- switch the local HTTP proxy listener from Rama's auto server to
explicit HTTP/1 so CONNECT clients skip the version-sniffing pre-read
path
- move rustls crypto-provider bootstrap into the HTTP proxy runner so
direct callers do not need hidden global init
- add a regression test that exercises a plain HTTP/1 CONNECT request
against a live loopback listener
## Summary
- add the guardian reviewer flow for `on-request` approvals in command,
patch, sandbox-retry, and managed-network approval paths
- keep guardian behind `features.guardian_approval` instead of exposing
a public `approval_policy = guardian` mode
- route ordinary `OnRequest` approvals to the guardian subagent when the
feature is enabled, without changing the public approval-mode surface
## Public model
- public approval modes stay unchanged
- guardian is enabled via `features.guardian_approval`
- when that feature is on, `approval_policy = on-request` keeps the same
approval boundaries but sends those approval requests to the guardian
reviewer instead of the user
- `/experimental` only persists the feature flag; it does not rewrite
`approval_policy`
- CLI and app-server no longer expose a separate `guardian` approval
mode in this PR
## Guardian reviewer
- the reviewer runs as a normal subagent and reuses the existing
subagent/thread machinery
- it is locked to a read-only sandbox and `approval_policy = never`
- it does not inherit user/project exec-policy rules
- it prefers `gpt-5.4` when the current provider exposes it, otherwise
falls back to the parent turn's active model
- it fail-closes on timeout, startup failure, malformed output, or any
other review error
- it currently auto-approves only when `risk_score < 80`
## Review context and policy
- guardian mirrors `OnRequest` approval semantics rather than
introducing a separate approval policy
- explicit `require_escalated` requests follow the same approval surface
as `OnRequest`; the difference is only who reviews them
- managed-network allowlist misses that enter the approval flow are also
reviewed by guardian
- the review prompt includes bounded recent transcript history plus
recent tool call/result evidence
- transcript entries and planned-action strings are truncated with
explicit `<guardian_truncated ... />` markers so large payloads stay
bounded
- apply-patch reviews include the full patch content (without
duplicating the structured `changes` payload)
- the guardian request layout is snapshot-tested using the same
model-visible Responses request formatter used elsewhere in core
## Guardian network behavior
- the guardian subagent inherits the parent session's managed-network
allowlist when one exists, so it can use the same approved network
surface while reviewing
- exact session-scoped network approvals are copied into the guardian
session with protocol/port scope preserved
- those copied approvals are now seeded before the guardian's first turn
is submitted, so inherited approvals are available during any immediate
review-time checks
## Out of scope / follow-ups
- the sandbox-permission validation split was pulled into a separate PR
and is not part of this diff
- a future follow-up can enable `serde_json` preserve-order in
`codex-core` and then simplify the guardian action rendering further

## Summary
- treat `requirements.toml` `allowed_domains` and `denied_domains` as
managed network baselines for the proxy
- in restricted modes by default, build the effective runtime policy
from the managed baseline plus user-configured allowlist and denylist
entries, so common hosts can be pre-approved without blocking later user
expansion
- add `experimental_network.managed_allowed_domains_only = true` to pin
the effective allowlist to managed entries, ignore user allowlist
additions, and hard-deny non-managed domains without prompting
- apply `managed_allowed_domains_only` anywhere managed network
enforcement is active, including full access, while continuing to
respect denied domains from all sources
- add regression coverage for merged-baseline behavior, managed-only
behavior, and full-access managed-only enforcement
## Behavior
Assuming `requirements.toml` defines both
`experimental_network.allowed_domains` and
`experimental_network.denied_domains`.
### Default mode
- By default, the effective allowlist is
`experimental_network.allowed_domains` plus user or persisted allowlist
additions.
- By default, the effective denylist is
`experimental_network.denied_domains` plus user or persisted denylist
additions.
- Allowlist misses can go through the network approval flow.
- Explicit denylist hits and local or private-network blocks are still
hard-denied.
- When `experimental_network.managed_allowed_domains_only = true`, only
managed `allowed_domains` are respected, user allowlist additions are
ignored, and non-managed domains are hard-denied without prompting.
- Denied domains continue to be respected from all sources.
### Full access
- With managed requirements present, the effective allowlist is pinned
to `experimental_network.allowed_domains`.
- With managed requirements present, the effective denylist is pinned to
`experimental_network.denied_domains`.
- There is no allowlist-miss approval path in full access.
- Explicit denylist hits are hard-denied.
- `experimental_network.managed_allowed_domains_only = true` now also
applies in full access, so managed-only behavior remains in effect
anywhere managed network enforcement is active.
## Why
`SandboxPolicy` currently mixes together three separate concerns:
- parsing layered config from `config.toml`
- representing filesystem sandbox state
- carrying basic network policy alongside filesystem choices
That makes the existing config awkward to extend and blocks the new TOML
proposal where `[permissions]` becomes a table of named permission
profiles selected by `default_permissions`. (The idea is that if
`default_permissions` is not specified, we assume the user is opting
into the "traditional" way to configure the sandbox.)
This PR adds the config-side plumbing for those profiles while still
projecting back to the legacy `SandboxPolicy` shape that the current
macOS and Linux sandbox backends consume.
It also tightens the filesystem profile model so scoped entries only
exist for `:project_roots`, and so nested keys must stay within a
project root instead of using `.` or `..` traversal.
This drops support for the short-lived `[permissions.network]` in
`config.toml` because now that would be interpreted as a profile named
`network` within `[permissions]`.
## What Changed
- added `PermissionsToml`, `PermissionProfileToml`,
`FilesystemPermissionsToml`, and `FilesystemPermissionToml` so config
can parse named profiles under `[permissions.<profile>.filesystem]`
- added top-level `default_permissions` selection, validation for
missing or unknown profiles, and compilation from a named profile into
split `FileSystemSandboxPolicy` and `NetworkSandboxPolicy` values
- taught config loading to choose between the legacy `sandbox_mode` path
and the profile-based path without breaking legacy users
- introduced `codex-protocol::permissions` for the split filesystem and
network sandbox types, and stored those alongside the legacy projected
`sandbox_policy` in runtime `Permissions`
- modeled `FileSystemSpecialPath` so only `ProjectRoots` can carry a
nested `subpath`, matching the intended config syntax instead of
allowing invalid states for other special paths
- restricted scoped filesystem maps to `:project_roots`, with validation
that nested entries are non-empty descendant paths and cannot use `.` or
`..` to escape the project root
- kept existing runtime consumers working by projecting
`FileSystemSandboxPolicy` back into `SandboxPolicy`, with an explicit
error for profiles that request writes outside the workspace root
- loaded proxy settings from top-level `[network]`
- regenerated `core/config.schema.json`
## Verification
- added config coverage for profile deserialization,
`default_permissions` selection, top-level `[network]` loading, network
enablement, rejection of writes outside the workspace root, rejection of
nested entries for non-`:project_roots` special paths, and rejection of
parent-directory traversal in `:project_roots` maps
- added protocol coverage for the legacy bridge rejecting non-workspace
writes
## Docs
- update the Codex config docs on developers.openai.com/codex to
document named `[permissions.<profile>]` entries, `default_permissions`,
scoped `:project_roots` syntax, the descendant-path restriction for
nested `:project_roots` entries, and top-level `[network]` proxy
configuration

**PR Summary**
This PR adds embedded-only OTEL policy audit logging for
`codex-network-proxy` and threads audit metadata from `codex-core` into
managed proxy startup.
### What changed
- Added structured audit event emission in `network_policy.rs` with
target `codex_otel.network_proxy`.
- Emitted:
- `codex.network_proxy.domain_policy_decision` once per domain-policy
evaluation.
- `codex.network_proxy.block_decision` for non-domain denies.
- Added required policy/network fields, RFC3339 UTC millisecond
`event.timestamp`, and fallback defaults (`http.request.method="none"`,
`client.address="unknown"`).
- Added non-domain deny audit emission in HTTP/SOCKS handlers for
mode-guard and proxy-state denies, including unix-socket deny paths.
- Added `REASON_UNIX_SOCKET_UNSUPPORTED` and used it for unsupported
unix-socket auditing.
- Added `NetworkProxyAuditMetadata` to runtime/state, re-exported from
`lib.rs` and `state.rs`.
- Added `start_proxy_with_audit_metadata(...)` in core config, with
`start_proxy()` delegating to default metadata.
- Wired metadata construction in `codex.rs` from session/auth context,
including originator sanitization for OTEL-safe tagging.
- Updated `network-proxy/README.md` with embedded-mode audit schema and
behavior notes.
- Refactored HTTP block-audit emission to a small local helper to reduce
duplication.
- Preserved existing unix-socket proxy-disabled host/path behavior for
responses and blocked history while using an audit-only endpoint
override (`server.address="unix-socket"`, `server.port=0`).
### Explicit exclusions
- No standalone proxy OTEL startup work.
- No `main.rs` binary wiring.
- No `standalone_otel.rs`.
- No standalone docs/tests.
### Tests
- Extended `network_policy.rs` tests for event mapping, metadata
propagation, fallbacks, timestamp format, and target prefix.
- Extended HTTP tests to assert unix-socket deny block audit events.
- Extended SOCKS tests to cover deny emission from handler deny
branches.
- Added/updated core tests to verify audit metadata threading into
managed proxy state.
### Validation run
- `just fmt`
- `cargo test -p codex-network-proxy` ✅
- `cargo test -p codex-core` ran with one unrelated flaky timeout
(`shell_snapshot::tests::snapshot_shell_does_not_inherit_stdin`), and
the test passed when rerun directly ✅

## Summary
Persist network approval allow/deny decisions as `network_rule(...)`
entries in execpolicy (not proxy config)
It adds `network_rule` parsing + append support in `codex-execpolicy`,
including `decision="prompt"` (parse-only; not compiled into proxy
allow/deny lists)
- compile execpolicy network rules into proxy allow/deny lists and
update the live proxy state on approval
- preserve requirements execpolicy `network_rule(...)` entries when
merging with file-based execpolicy
- reject broad wildcard hosts (for example `*`) for persisted
`network_rule(...)`
## Summary
Adds support for a Unix socket escape hatch so we can bypass socket
allowlisting when explicitly enabled.
## Description
* added a new flag, `network.dangerously_allow_all_unix_sockets` as an
explicit escape hatch
* In codex-network-proxy, enabling that flag now allows any absolute
Unix socket path from x-unix-socket instead of requiring each path to be
explicitly allowlisted. Relative paths are still rejected.
* updated the macOS seatbelt path in core so it enforces the same Unix
socket behavior:
* allowlisted sockets generate explicit network* subpath rules
* allow-all generates a broad network* (subpath "/") rule

## Summary
Simplify network approvals by removing per-attempt proxy correlation and
moving to session-level approval dedupe keyed by (host, protocol, port).
Instead of encoding attempt IDs into proxy credentials/URLs, we now
treat approvals as a destination policy decision.
- Concurrent calls to the same destination share one approval prompt.
- Different destinations (or same host on different ports) get separate
prompts.
- Allow once approves the current queued request group only.
- Allow for session caches that (host, protocol, port) and auto-allows
future matching requests.
- Never policy continues to deny without prompting.
Example:
- 3 calls:
- a.com (line 443)
- b.com (line 443)
- a.com (line 443)
=> 2 prompts total (a, b), second a waits on the first decision.
- a.com:80 is treated separately from a.com line 443
## Testing
- `just fmt` (in `codex-rs`)
- `cargo test -p codex-core tools::network_approval::tests`
- `cargo test -p codex-core` (unit tests pass; existing
integration-suite failures remain in this environment)
### Description
#### Summary
Introduces the core plumbing required for structured network approvals
#### What changed
- Added structured network policy decision modeling in core.
- Added approval payload/context types needed for network approval
semantics.
- Wired shell/unified-exec runtime plumbing to consume structured
decisions.
- Updated related core error/event surfaces for structured handling.
- Updated protocol plumbing used by core approval flow.
- Included small CLI debug sandbox compatibility updates needed by this
layer.
#### Why
establishes the minimal backend foundation for network approvals without
yet changing high-level orchestration or TUI behavior.
#### Notes
- Behavior remains constrained by existing requirements/config gating.
- Follow-up PRs in the stack handle orchestration, UX, and app-server
integration.

## Summary
When network requests were blocked, downstream code often had to infer
ask vs deny from free-form response text. That was brittle and led to
incorrect approval behavior.
This PR fixes the proxy side so blocked decisions are structured and
request metadata survives reliably.
## Description
- Blocked proxy responses now carry consistent structured policy
decision data.
- Request attempt metadata is preserved across proxy env paths
(including ALL_PROXY flows).
- Header stripping was tightened so we still remove unsafe forwarding
headers, but keep metadata needed for policy handling.
- Block messages were clarified (for example, allowlist miss vs explicit
deny).
- Added unified violation log entries so policy failures can be
inspected in one place.
- Added/updated tests for these behaviors.

## Summary
- enable local-use defaults in network proxy settings: SOCKS5 on, SOCKS5
UDP on, upstream proxying on, and local binding on
- add a regression test that asserts the full
`NetworkProxySettings::default()` baseline
- Fixed managed listener reservation behavior.
Before: we always reserved a loopback SOCKS listener, even when
enable_socks5 = false.
Now: SOCKS listener is only reserved when SOCKS is enabled.
- Fixed /debug-config env output for SOCKS-disabled sessions.
ALL_PROXY now shows the HTTP proxy URL when SOCKS is disabled (instead
of incorrectly showing socks5h://...).
## Validation
- just fmt
- cargo test -p codex-network-proxy
- cargo clippy -p codex-network-proxy --all-targets
As of this PR, `SessionServices` retains a
`Option<StartedNetworkProxy>`, if appropriate.
Now the `network` field on `Config` is `Option<NetworkProxySpec>`
instead of `Option<NetworkProxy>`.
Over in `Session::new()`, we invoke `NetworkProxySpec::start_proxy()` to
create the `StartedNetworkProxy`, which is a new struct that retains the
`NetworkProxy` as well as the `NetworkProxyHandle`. (Note that `Drop` is
implemented for `NetworkProxyHandle` to ensure the proxies are shutdown
when it is dropped.)
The `NetworkProxy` from the `StartedNetworkProxy` is threaded through to
the appropriate places.

Codex may run many per-thread proxy instances, so hardcoded proxy ports
are brittle and conflict-prone. The previous "ephemeral" approach still
had a race: `build()` read `local_addr()` from temporary listeners and
dropped them before `run()` rebound the ports. That left a
[TOCTOU](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time-of-check_to_time-of-use)
window where the OS (or another process) could reuse the same port,
causing intermittent `EADDRINUSE` and partial proxy startup.
Change the managed proxy path to reserve real listener sockets up front
and keep them alive until startup:
- add `ReservedListeners` on `NetworkProxy` to hold HTTP/SOCKS/admin std
listeners allocated during `build()`
- in managed mode, bind `127.0.0.1:0` for each listener and carry those
bound sockets into `run()` instead of rebinding by address later
- add `run_*_with_std_listener` entry points for HTTP, SOCKS5, and admin
servers so `run()` can start services from already-reserved sockets
- keep static/configured ports only when `managed_by_codex(false)`,
including explicit `socks_addr` override support
- remove fallback synthetic port allocation and add tests for managed
ephemeral loopback binding and unmanaged configured-port behavior
This makes managed startup deterministic, avoids port collisions, and
preserves the intended distinction between Codex-managed ephemeral ports
and externally managed fixed ports.
This PR adds the following field to `Config`:
```rust
pub network: Option<NetworkProxy>,
```
Though for the moment, it will always be initialized as `None` (this
will be addressed in a subsequent PR).
This PR does the work to thread `network` through to `execute_exec_env()`, `process_exec_tool_call()`, and `UnifiedExecRuntime.run()` to ensure it is available whenever we span a process.
Currently, `codex-network-proxy` depends on `codex-core`, but this
should be the other way around. As a first step, refactor out
`ConfigReloader`, which should make it easier to move
`codex-rs/network-proxy/src/state.rs` to `codex-core` in a subsequent
commit.
Summary:
- Rename config table from network_proxy to network.
- Flatten allowed_domains, denied_domains, allow_unix_sockets, and
allow_local_binding onto NetworkProxySettings.
- Update runtime, state constraints, tests, and README to the new config
shape.
## Summary
Add explicit, model-visible network policy decision metadata to blocked
proxy responses/errors.
Introduces a standardized prefix line: `CODEX_NETWORK_POLICY_DECISION
{json}`
and wires it through blocked paths for:
- HTTP requests
- HTTPS CONNECT
- SOCKS5 TCP/UDP denials
## Why
The model should see *why* a request was blocked
(reason/source/protocol/host/port) so it can choose the correct next
action.
## Notes
- This PR is intentionally independent of config-layering/network-rule
runtime integration.
- Focus is blocked decision surface only.
Load requirements from Codex Backend. It only does this for enterprise
customers signed in with ChatGPT.
Todo in follow-up PRs:
* Add to app-server and exec too
* Switch from fail-open to fail-closed on failure
Constructors with long param lists can be hard to reason about when a
number of the args are `None`, in practice. Introducing a struct to use
as the args type helps make things more self-documenting.
### Summary
- Adds an optional SOCKS5 listener via `rama-socks5`
- SOCKS5 is disabled by default and gated by config
- Reuses existing policy enforcement and blocked-request recording
- Blocks SOCKS5 in limited mode to prevent method-policy bypass
- Applies bind clamping to the SOCKS5 listener
### Config
New/used fields under `network_proxy`:
- `enable_socks5`
- `socks_url`
- `enable_socks5_udp`
### Scope
- Changes limited to `codex-rs/network-proxy` (+ `codex-rs/Cargo.lock`)
### Testing
```bash
cd codex-rs
just fmt
cargo test -p codex-network-proxy --offline
This add a new crate, `codex-network-proxy`, a local network proxy
service used by Codex to enforce fine-grained network policy (domain
allow/deny) and to surface blocked network events for interactive
approvals.
- New crate: `codex-rs/network-proxy/` (`codex-network-proxy` binary +
library)
- Core capabilities:
- HTTP proxy support (including CONNECT tunneling)
- SOCKS5 proxy support (in the later PR)
- policy evaluation (allowed/denied domain lists; denylist wins;
wildcard support)
- small admin API for polling/reload/mode changes
- optional MITM support for HTTPS CONNECT to enforce “limited mode”
method restrictions (later PR)
Will follow up integration with codex in subsequent PRs.
## Testing
- `cd codex-rs && cargo build -p codex-network-proxy`
- `cd codex-rs && cargo run -p codex-network-proxy -- proxy`
