## Why Sandboxed process launch through the exec server was unsupported on Windows. ## What changed - Add a shared native process launcher that selects the Windows sandbox session backend when required and otherwise launches PTY or pipe-based processes. - Pass Windows permission, workspace-root, proxy, filesystem-override, and desktop settings through exec-server process preparation. - Preserve piped stdin and inherited file descriptors across the shared launch path. ## Testing - Verify that a remote Windows sandbox process accepts stdin while blocking a write under a read-only policy. - Enable workspace-root sandbox tests on native Windows while continuing to skip environments that cannot emulate Windows sandbox semantics.

codex-utils-pty
Lightweight helpers for spawning interactive processes either under a PTY (pseudo terminal) or regular pipes. The public API is minimal and mirrors both backends so callers can switch based on their needs (e.g., enabling or disabling TTY).

Usage examples
use std::collections::HashMap;
use std::path::Path;
use codex_utils_pty::combine_output_receivers;
use codex_utils_pty::spawn_pty_process;
use codex_utils_pty::TerminalSize;
# tokio_test::block_on(async {
let env_map: HashMap<String, String> = std::env::vars().collect();
let spawned = spawn_pty_process(
"bash",
&["-lc".into(), "echo hello".into()],
Path::new("."),
&env_map,
&None,
TerminalSize::default(),
).await?;
let writer = spawned.session.writer_sender();
writer.send(b"exit\n".to_vec()).await?;
// Collect output until the process exits.
let mut output_rx = combine_output_receivers(spawned.stdout_rx, spawned.stderr_rx);
let mut collected = Vec::new();
while let Ok(chunk) = output_rx.try_recv() {
collected.extend_from_slice(&chunk);
}
let exit_code = spawned.exit_rx.await.unwrap_or(-1);
# let _ = (collected, exit_code);
# anyhow::Ok(())
# });
Swap in spawn_pipe_process for a non-TTY subprocess; the rest of the API stays the same.
Use spawn_pipe_process_no_stdin to force stdin closed (commands that read stdin will see EOF immediately).
Tests
Unit tests live in src/lib.rs and cover both backends (PTY Python REPL and pipe-based stdin roundtrip). Run with:
just test -p codex-utils-pty --no-capture
