Why

Per-turn permission overrides should use the same canonical profile abstraction as session configuration. That lets TUI submissions preserve exact configured permissions without round-tripping through legacy sandbox fields.

What changed

This adds permission_profile to user-turn operations, threads it through TUI/app-server submission paths, fills the new field in existing test fixtures, and adds coverage that composer submission includes the configured profile.

Verification

  • cargo test -p codex-tui permissions -- --nocapture
  • cargo test -p codex-core --test all permissions_messages -- --nocapture

@bolinfest bolinfest force-pushed the pr18284 branch 2 times, most recently from b75d3a2 to fac6fd1 Compare April 22, 2026 00:09

## Why

#18275 anchors session-scoped `:cwd` and `:project_roots` grants to the
request cwd before recording them for reuse. Relative deny glob entries
need the same treatment. Without anchoring, a stored session permission
can keep a pattern such as `**/*.env` relative, then reinterpret that
deny against a later turn cwd. That makes the persisted profile depend
on the cwd at reuse time instead of the cwd that was reviewed and
approved.

## What changed

`intersect_permission_profiles` now materializes retained
`FileSystemPath::GlobPattern` entries against the request cwd, matching
the existing materialization for cwd-sensitive special paths.

Materialized accepted grants are now deduplicated before deny retention
runs. This keeps the sticky-grant preapproval shape stable when a
repeated request is merged with the stored grant and both `:cwd = write`
and the materialized absolute cwd write are present.

The preapproval check compares against the same materialized form, so a
later request for the same cwd-relative deny glob still matches the
stored anchored grant instead of re-prompting or rejecting.

Tests cover both the storage path and the preapproval path: a
session-scoped `:cwd = write` grant with `**/*.env = none` is stored
with both the cwd write and deny glob anchored to the original request
cwd, cannot be reused from a later cwd, and remains preapproved when
re-requested from the original cwd after merging with the stored grant.

## Verification

- `cargo test -p codex-sandboxing policy_transforms`
- `cargo test -p codex-core --lib
relative_deny_glob_grants_remain_preapproved_after_materialization`
- `cargo clippy -p codex-sandboxing --tests -- -D
clippy::redundant_clone`
- `cargo clippy -p codex-core --lib -- -D clippy::redundant_clone`

## 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.

--nocapture`
- `cargo test -p codex-core --test all request_permissions --

@bolinfest bolinfest force-pushed the pr18285 branch 2 times, most recently from 5aff3f4 to 9b1043e Compare April 22, 2026 19:56
bolinfest added a commit that referenced this pull request Apr 22, 2026
## Why

`PermissionProfile` is becoming the canonical permissions shape shared
by core and app-server. After app-server responses expose the active
profile, clients need to be able to send that same shape back when
starting, resuming, forking, or overriding a turn instead of translating
through the legacy `sandbox`/`sandboxPolicy` shorthands.

This still needs to preserve the existing requirements/platform
enforcement model. A profile-shaped request can be downgraded or
rejected by constraints, but the server should keep the user's
elevated-access intent for project trust decisions. Turn-level profile
overrides also need to retain existing read protections, including
deny-read entries and bounded glob-scan metadata, so a permission
override cannot accidentally drop configured protections such as
`**/*.env = deny`.

## What changed

- Adds optional `permissionProfile` request fields to `thread/start`,
`thread/resume`, `thread/fork`, and `turn/start`.
- Rejects ambiguous requests that specify both `permissionProfile` and
the legacy `sandbox`/`sandboxPolicy` fields, including running-thread
resume requests.
- Converts profile-shaped overrides into core runtime filesystem/network
permissions while continuing to derive the constrained legacy sandbox
projection used by existing execution paths.
- Preserves project-trust intent for profile overrides that are
equivalent to workspace-write or full-access sandbox requests.
- Preserves existing deny-read entries and `globScanMaxDepth` when
applying turn-level `permissionProfile` overrides.
- Updates app-server docs plus generated JSON/TypeScript schema fixtures
and regression coverage.

## Verification

- `cargo test -p codex-app-server-protocol schema_fixtures`
- `cargo test -p codex-core
session_configuration_apply_permission_profile_preserves_existing_deny_read_entries`
