## Why
`Permissions` should not store a separate `PermissionProfile` that can
drift from the constrained `SandboxPolicy` and network settings. The
active profile needs to be derived from the same constrained values that
already honor `requirements.toml`.
## What changed
This adds derivation of the active `PermissionProfile` from the
constrained runtime permission settings and exposes that derived value
through config snapshots and thread state. The app-server can then
report the active profile without introducing a second source of truth.
## Verification
- `cargo test -p codex-core --test all permissions_messages --
--nocapture`
- `cargo test -p codex-core --test all request_permissions --
--nocapture`

## Summary
The Bedrock Mantle SigV4 auth provider currently looks like it can
lazily load `AwsAuthContext`, but the provider is only constructed after
`resolve_auth_method` has already loaded that context. Because
`with_context` always pre-populates the `OnceCell`, the
`get_or_try_init` fallback is unused in normal operation and makes the
provider lifecycle harder to reason about.
This change removes that dead lazy-loading path and makes the actual
behavior explicit:
- `BedrockAuthMethod::AwsSdkAuth` carries only the resolved
`AwsAuthContext`.
- `BedrockMantleSigV4AuthProvider` stores the resolved context directly.
- request signing uses the stored context without going through
`OnceCell`.
The existing eager AWS auth resolution behavior is unchanged; this is a
simplification of the provider state, not a behavior change.
## Testing
- `cargo shear`
- `cargo test -p codex-model-provider`
- `just bazel-lock-check`
## Summary
- Keep the guardian policy installed as guardian base instructions.
- Clear inherited parent `developer_instructions` for guardian review
sessions.
- Update guardian config tests to assert developer instructions are
cleared and policy text is sourced from base instructions.
## Why
Guardian review sessions are intended to run under an isolated guardian
policy. Because the guardian config is cloned from the parent config,
inherited custom or managed developer instructions could otherwise
remain active and conflict with guardian review behavior.
## Validation
- `just fmt`
- `cargo test -p codex-core guardian_review_session_config`

## Why
A [Windows Cargo
build](https://github.com/openai/codex/actions/runs/24754807756/job/72425641062)
on `main` timed out in several unrelated-looking suites at the same
time:
- `codex-app-server` account tests failed before account logic, while
`mcp.initialize()` was waiting for the first JSON-RPC response.
- `codex-core` `apply_patch_cli` tests timed out while running full
Codex/apply_patch turns.
- `codex-windows-sandbox` legacy session tests timed out while creating
restricted-token child processes and private desktops.
The app-server log reached the test harness write path in
[`McpProcess::initialize_with_params`](https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/731b54d08fb93aec31fb020999a62447886f3ab3/codex-rs/app-server/tests/common/mcp_process.rs#L244-L263),
but never printed the matching stdout read from
[`read_jsonrpc_message`](https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/731b54d08fb93aec31fb020999a62447886f3ab3/codex-rs/app-server/tests/common/mcp_process.rs#L1123-L1128).
The server initialize handler is a small bookkeeping/response path
([`message_processor.rs`](https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/731b54d08fb93aec31fb020999a62447886f3ab3/codex-rs/app-server/src/message_processor.rs#L601-L728)),
so the failure looks like Windows runner process/pipe scheduling
starvation rather than account-specific behavior.
## What Changed
This updates `.config/nextest.toml` to serialize two process-heavy sets:
- `codex-core` tests matching `package(codex-core) & kind(test) &
test(apply_patch_cli)`
- `codex-windows-sandbox` tests matching `package(codex-windows-sandbox)
& test(legacy_)`
`codex-app-server` integration tests were already serialized inside
their own package; this change reduces overlap with the other suites
that were saturating the runner at the same time.
## Verification
- `cargo nextest list --filterset "package(codex-core) & kind(test) &
test(apply_patch_cli)"`
- `cargo nextest list --filterset "package(codex-windows-sandbox) &
test(legacy_)"`
The Windows sandbox filter naturally lists no tests on macOS, but it
validates the nextest filter/config syntax locally.
## Why
The fast `rust-ci` workflow decides whether to run the cross-platform
`argument-comment-lint` job based on changed paths. PRs that touch
Rust-adjacent Bazel wrapper files, such as `defs.bzl` or
`workspace_root_test_launcher.*.tpl`, can change how Rust tests and lint
targets behave without changing any `.rs` files.
When that detector returned false, GitHub skipped the matrix job before
expanding it. That produced a single skipped check named `Argument
comment lint - ${{ matrix.name }}` instead of the Linux, macOS, and
Windows check names that branch protection expects, leaving the PR
unable to go green when those matrix checks are required.
## What Changed
- Treat root Bazel wrapper files as `argument-comment-lint` relevant
changes.
- Keep the `argument_comment_lint_prebuilt` matrix job materialized for
every PR so the per-platform check names always exist.
- Add a single gate step that decides whether the real lint work should
run.
- Move the checkout-adjacent Bazel setup and OS-specific lint commands
into `.github/actions/run-argument-comment-lint/action.yml` so the
workflow does not repeat the same path-detection condition on each step.
## Verification
- Parsed `.github/workflows/rust-ci.yml` and
`.github/actions/run-argument-comment-lint/action.yml` with Python YAML
loading.
- Simulated the workflow path-matching shell conditions for the root
Bazel wrapper files and confirmed they set `argument_comment_lint=true`.
