6. [openai/codex#30296](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/30296) —
diagnostic-only Auto store drift reporting

**This PR is layer 2.**

## Why

`Auto` is keyring-first with a File fallback, but re-evaluating that
policy during transport reconstruction or persistence can make one MCP
client read from one store and later write to another. With rotating
refresh tokens, the second store may contain an older token. This layer
makes the source selected at client startup explicit and keeps that
authority stable for the client lifecycle.

## What this PR does

- Keeps `resolve_oauth_tokens_from_store_policy` as the single
configured-policy entry point and returns both credentials and the
concrete File or Keyring source that supplied them.
- Puts exact `load`, `save`, and `delete` operations on
`ResolvedOAuthCredentialStore`, making “resolve configured policy” and
“use the selected authority” distinct at call sites.
- Pins the first concrete source in `pinned_credential_store` in the
transport recipe, so initialization retries and session reconstruction
cannot re-evaluate `Auto` and adopt another store.
- Gives `OAuthPersistor` the resolved store and keeps subsequent
persistence and removal on that authority.
- Uses a typed keyring-load error to distinguish aggregate-store
coordination failures from ordinary backend failures; a coordination
failure is surfaced instead of triggering File fallback.
- Keeps login-time `Auto` behavior unchanged: prefer Keyring, fall back
to File when unavailable, and clean up legacy File state after a
successful keyring save.
- Adds structured server/backend context when fallback cleanup fails.

## Explicit decisions and non-goals

- The selection is lifecycle-local and in memory. This PR does not add a
durable backend selector, migration, reconciliation registry, or global
source of truth outside `CODEX_HOME`.
- `Auto` may choose File at the start of a later process if keyring
availability changes. Once this client resolves, a selected-store
failure is returned instead of hot-switching.
- Different `CODEX_HOME` instances remain independent even when they can
access the same Direct keyring credential.
- Cross-process refresh serialization is intentionally not part of this
layer.

## Safe stopping point

This PR can merge alone. A single MCP client no longer hot-switches
credential stores across transport rebuilds or persistence. Two
processes can still refresh the same selected credential concurrently
until layer 3.

## Review size

The net layer is 9 files, +668/−144. The production change remains
focused on store resolution and lifecycle pinning; the largest follow-up
is integration coverage that drives real session recovery.

## Validation

- `just test -p codex-rmcp-client` (99 passed; 5 expected skips)
- Real-client 404 recovery coverage with different Keyring and File
tokens; captured bearer headers prove the stale File token is never sent
- Mutation check: removing the lifecycle pin makes that integration
regression fail by observing the stale File token

codex-core

This crate implements the business logic for Codex. It is designed to be used by the various Codex UIs written in Rust.

Wine-exec integration tests

On x86-64 Linux, run the shared suite against the Windows exec server with bazel test //codex-rs/core:core-all-wine-exec-test.

Local execution targets the host OS, Docker targets Linux, and Wine exec targets Windows. Choose the skip macro by what the test depends on:

  • skip_if_target_windows!: Windows target behavior.
  • skip_if_host_windows!: Windows host constraints.
  • skip_if_remote!: Local-only test behavior.
  • skip_if_no_remote_env!: Remote-only test behavior.
  • skip_if_wine_exec!: Wine-specific runner debt.

Dependencies

Note that codex-core makes some assumptions about certain helper utilities being available in the environment. Currently, this support matrix is:

macOS

Expects /usr/bin/sandbox-exec to be present.

When using the workspace-write sandbox policy, the Seatbelt profile allows writes under the configured writable roots while keeping .git (directory or pointer file), the resolved gitdir: target, and .codex read-only.

Network access and filesystem read/write roots are controlled by SandboxPolicy. Seatbelt consumes the resolved policy and enforces it.

Seatbelt also keeps the legacy default preferences read access (user-preference-read) needed for cfprefs-backed macOS behavior.

Linux

Expects the binary containing codex-core to run the equivalent of codex sandbox when arg0 is codex-linux-sandbox. See the codex-arg0 crate for details.

Legacy SandboxPolicy / sandbox_mode configs are still supported on Linux. They can continue to use the legacy Landlock path when the split filesystem policy is sandbox-equivalent to the legacy model after cwd resolution. Split filesystem policies that need direct FileSystemSandboxPolicy enforcement, such as read-only or denied carveouts under a broader writable root, automatically route through bubblewrap. The legacy Landlock path is used only when the split filesystem policy round-trips through the legacy SandboxPolicy model without changing semantics. That includes overlapping cases like /repo = write, /repo/a = none, /repo/a/b = write, where the more specific writable child must reopen under a denied parent.

The Linux sandbox helper prefers the first bwrap found on PATH outside the current working directory whenever it is available. If bwrap is present but too old to support --argv0, the helper keeps using system bubblewrap and switches to a no---argv0 compatibility path for the inner re-exec. If bwrap is missing, it falls back to the bundled codex-resources/bwrap binary shipped with Codex and Codex surfaces a startup warning through its normal notification path instead of printing directly from the sandbox helper. Codex also surfaces a startup warning when bubblewrap cannot create user namespaces. WSL2 uses the normal Linux bubblewrap path. WSL1 is not supported for bubblewrap sandboxing because it cannot create the required user namespaces, so Codex rejects sandboxed shell commands that would enter the bubblewrap path before invoking bwrap.

Windows

Legacy SandboxPolicy / sandbox_mode configs are still supported on Windows. Legacy read-only and workspace-write policies imply full filesystem read access; exact readable roots are represented by split filesystem policies instead.

The elevated Windows sandbox also supports:

  • legacy ReadOnly and WorkspaceWrite behavior
  • split filesystem policies that need exact readable roots, exact writable roots, or extra read-only carveouts under writable roots
  • backend-managed system read roots required for basic execution, such as C:\Windows, C:\Program Files, C:\Program Files (x86), and C:\ProgramData, when a split filesystem policy requests platform defaults

The unelevated restricted-token backend still supports the legacy full-read Windows model for legacy ReadOnly and WorkspaceWrite behavior. It also supports a narrow split-filesystem subset: full-read split policies whose writable roots still match the legacy WorkspaceWrite root set, but add extra read-only carveouts under those writable roots.

New [permissions] / split filesystem policies remain supported on Windows only when they can be enforced directly by the selected Windows backend or round-trip through the legacy SandboxPolicy model without changing semantics. Policies that would require direct explicit unreadable carveouts (none) or reopened writable descendants under read-only carveouts still fail closed instead of running with weaker enforcement.

All Platforms

Expects the binary containing codex-core to simulate the virtual apply_patch CLI when arg1 is --codex-run-as-apply-patch. See the codex-arg0 crate for details.
