Friel 043a059919 feat(core): support custom model aliases in config.toml
This adds config.toml-defined model aliases that map to provider model slugs while applying alias-specific context settings for the active session.

- added custom_models config entries plus schema and docs coverage
- taught ModelsManager to resolve aliases to a provider-facing request_model while preserving the user-facing alias slug
- applied alias-specific context_window and model_auto_compact_token_limit overrides during model info resolution
- updated session/test plumbing and added regression coverage for alias resolution with local and remote model catalogs

Model selection and per-session context overrides already flow through ModelsManager and Config. Resolving aliases there keeps the provider slug separate from the user-facing alias while reusing the existing override plumbing.

- just write-config-schema
- just fmt
- cargo test -p codex-app-server -p codex-api -p codex-exec -p codex-mcp-server
- cargo test -p codex-tui
- cargo test -p codex-protocol -p codex-core (same two existing seatbelt failures remained in this environment: create_seatbelt_args_with_read_only_git_pointer_file and create_seatbelt_args_with_read_only_git_and_codex_subpaths)
- just fix -p codex-core -p codex-protocol -p codex-app-server -p codex-api -p codex-exec -p codex-mcp-server -p codex-tui

codex-core

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

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 supports macOS permission-profile extensions layered on top of SandboxPolicy:

  • no extension profile provided: keeps legacy default preferences read access (user-preference-read).
  • extension profile provided with no macos_preferences grant: does not add preferences access clauses.
  • macos_preferences = "readonly": enables cfprefs read clauses and user-preference-read.
  • macos_preferences = "readwrite": includes readonly clauses plus user-preference-write and cfprefs shm write clauses.
  • macos_automation = true: enables broad Apple Events send permissions.
  • macos_automation = ["com.apple.Notes", ...]: enables Apple Events send only to listed bundle IDs.
  • macos_accessibility = true: enables com.apple.axserver mach lookup.
  • macos_calendar = true: enables com.apple.CalendarAgent mach lookup.

Linux

Expects the binary containing codex-core to run the equivalent of codex sandbox linux (legacy alias: codex debug landlock) when arg0 is codex-linux-sandbox. See the codex-arg0 crate for details.

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.
