## What changed
- Remove `untrusted` from the CLI, configuration schema, and MCP tool interface. Explicit `approval_policy = "untrusted"` settings now fail with an actionable error.
- Remove the known-safe command allowlist. Projects marked untrusted now request approval for every command unless an explicit exec policy rule allows it.
- Keep command parsing conservative by treating in-place `sed` forms as mutating and ignoring unrecognized commands when recording memory usage.
## Testing
- Cover rejection of the retired configuration value and approval requests for commands in untrusted projects.

## Why
Reducing a heredoc shell script to its inner executable lets a prefix rule for
that executable apply to the entire wrapper, even though the full script was
not parsed as a plain command.
## What changed
- Fall back to evaluating the complete shell wrapper when plain-command parsing
fails, including for heredoc scripts.
- Keep these commands sandboxed when only the inner executable is allowed.
- Propose the full wrapper as the exec policy amendment when approval is needed.
## Testing
Added exec policy, Unix escalation, and approval scenario coverage for unparsed
and heredoc shell wrappers.

## Why
Tree-sitter can represent brace expansions, globs, and escaped text as plain
words even though the shell changes them at runtime. Treating their source text
as literal argv could let a command match a safe-command check or allow rule
that does not match what will actually execute.
## What changed
- Reject unquoted Bash and Zsh words containing expansion, glob, or escape
syntax from literal command parsing, including heredoc command prefixes.
- Reject double-quoted escape sequences that the shell removes or interprets,
while continuing to accept quoted metacharacters that remain literal.
- Require approval for affected commands under `UnlessTrusted`, even when a
policy contains an allow rule for the unexpanded source text.
## Testing
Add parser and approval scenarios covering brace expansion, globs, escapes,
Zsh-specific syntax, heredocs, and quoted literals.

## Why
Forced `rm` commands can appear inside complex shell syntax or use option and wrapper variants that the existing dangerous-command heuristic does not recognize.
## What changed
- Detect literal forced `rm` invocations in control flow, substitutions, pipelines, traps, nested shells, and `sudo` or `env` wrappers.
- Recognize combined, separate, and long-form force options, including when they follow operands.
- Require approval for these commands, or reject them with a safer-alternative explanation when approvals are disabled, even when the sandbox is disabled.
- Preserve existing rejection reasons for other dangerous commands and explicit policy rules.
## Testing
Add unit, policy, and end-to-end coverage for forced `rm` variants, complex shell scripts, approval requests, and rejection messages.

## Why
Memory read telemetry currently reconstructs the executable shell
command after a tool call finishes. That duplicates shell, login-policy,
and cwd resolution owned by the tool handlers, and can diverge from the
environment-specific command that unified exec actually ran.
## What changed
- Expose the existing restricted shell-script parser directly for raw
script text.
- Parse `shell_command` and `exec_command` input into plain command argv
before classifying memory reads.
- Preserve all-or-nothing safe-command validation for multi-command
scripts.
- Remove cwd resolution, shell selection, and the unnecessary async
boundary from memory read metric emission.
## Testing
- `just test -p codex-shell-command`
- `cargo check -p codex-core`
## Why
Shell detection needs to be available through the `Environment`
abstraction so callers can ask the selected local or remote environment
for shell metadata without adding a separate HTTP endpoint or parallel
info-source path. This keeps shell metadata shaped like the existing
environment-owned filesystem capability and lets remote environments
answer through exec-server JSON-RPC.
## What changed
- Added `environment/info` to the exec-server protocol/client/server and
exposed `Environment::info()`.
- Added local and remote environment info providers on `Environment`,
following the existing capability-provider pattern used for filesystem
access.
- Moved the shared shell detection logic into `codex-shell-command` and
kept core shell APIs as wrappers around that implementation.
- Returned shell metadata as `EnvironmentInfo { shell: ShellInfo }`
using the existing shell detection path.
- Added a remote environment test that calls `Environment::info()`
through an exec-server-backed environment.
## Validation
- `git diff --check`
- `just test -p codex-shell-command`
- `just test -p codex-core -E 'test(/shell::tests::/)'`\n- `just test -p
codex-exec-server environment`
## Summary
Fixes a regression introduced in #10941 so that heredocs do not permit
file redirects to be approved by rules, and adds scenario tests to cover
this behavior.
Previously, heredoc command parsing would allow redirects and
environment variables:
```bash
# commands_for_exec_policy() would parse this via parse_shell_lc_single_command_prefix
PATH=/tmp/bad:$PATH cat <<'EOF' > /tmp/bad/hello.txt
hello
EOF
```
This conflicts with the Codex Rules documentation; heredoc parsing logic
should abide by the same strictness of parsing.
## Tests
- [x] Updated unit tests accordingly
- [x] Added scenario tests for these cases

## Summary
Fixes a few things in our exec_policy handling of prefix_rules:
1. Correctly match redirects specifically for exec_policy parsing. i.e.
if you have `prefix_rule(["echo"], decision="allow")` then `echo hello >
output.txt` should match - this should fix#10321
2. If there already exists any rule that would match our prefix rule
(not just a prompt), then drop it, since it won't do anything.
## Testing
- [x] Updated unit tests, added approvals ScenarioSpecs
## Summary
This should rarely, if ever, happen in practice. But regardless, we
should never provide an empty list of `commands` to ExecPolicy. This PR
is almost entirely adding test around these cases.
## Testing
- [x] Adds a bunch of unit tests for this
