viyatb-oai 04892b4ceb refactor: make bubblewrap the default Linux sandbox (#13996)
## Summary
- make bubblewrap the default Linux sandbox and keep
`use_legacy_landlock` as the only override
- remove `use_linux_sandbox_bwrap` from feature, config, schema, and
docs surfaces
- update Linux sandbox selection, CLI/config plumbing, and related
tests/docs to match the new default
- fold in the follow-up CI fixes for request-permissions responses and
Linux read-only sandbox error text

# codex-linux-sandbox
This crate is responsible for producing:
- a `codex-linux-sandbox` standalone executable for Linux that is bundled with the Node.js version of the Codex CLI
- a lib crate that exposes the business logic of the executable as `run_main()` so that
- the `codex-exec` CLI can check if its arg0 is `codex-linux-sandbox` and, if so, execute as if it were `codex-linux-sandbox`
- this should also be true of the `codex` multitool CLI
On Linux, the bubblewrap pipeline uses the vendored bubblewrap path compiled
into this binary.
**Current Behavior**
- Legacy Landlock + mount protections remain available as the legacy pipeline.
- The default Linux sandbox pipeline is bubblewrap on the vendored path.
- Set `features.use_legacy_landlock = true` (or CLI `-c use_legacy_landlock=true`)
to force the legacy Landlock fallback.
- When the default bubblewrap pipeline is active, it applies `PR_SET_NO_NEW_PRIVS` and a
seccomp network filter in-process.
- When the default bubblewrap pipeline is active, the filesystem is read-only by default via `--ro-bind / /`.
- When the default bubblewrap pipeline is active, writable roots are layered with `--bind <root> <root>`.
- When the default bubblewrap pipeline is active, protected subpaths under writable roots (for example `.git`,
resolved `gitdir:`, and `.codex`) are re-applied as read-only via `--ro-bind`.
- When the default bubblewrap pipeline is active, symlink-in-path and non-existent protected paths inside
writable roots are blocked by mounting `/dev/null` on the symlink or first
missing component.
- When the default bubblewrap pipeline is active, the helper explicitly isolates the user namespace via
`--unshare-user` and the PID namespace via `--unshare-pid`.
- When the default bubblewrap pipeline is active and network is restricted without proxy routing, the helper also
isolates the network namespace via `--unshare-net`.
- In managed proxy mode, the helper uses `--unshare-net` plus an internal
TCP->UDS->TCP routing bridge so tool traffic reaches only configured proxy
endpoints.
- In managed proxy mode, after the bridge is live, seccomp blocks new
AF_UNIX/socketpair creation for the user command.
- When the default bubblewrap pipeline is active, it mounts a fresh `/proc` via `--proc /proc` by default, but
you can skip this in restrictive container environments with `--no-proc`.
**Notes**
- The CLI surface still uses legacy names like `codex debug landlock`.
