## Why
Local `apply_patch` permission checks can treat a macOS system alias and its canonical spelling as different locations, sending writes covered by temporary-directory grants for unnecessary approval.
## What changed
- Normalize trusted top-level aliases in local policy roots and patch targets, reusing a prepared matcher for permission requests and patch safety checks.
- Share alias normalization with Seatbelt and the macOS executor sandbox while preserving mutable symlinks and missing descendants.
- Preserve read-only and deny precedence, protected metadata restrictions, and remote URI matching. Propagate normalization failures from fallible permission checks.
## Testing
Add macOS regressions for multi-file patches with missing parent directories through both direct `apply_patch` calls and shell interception, asserting automatic approval and file contents. Add unit coverage for alias restriction precedence, mutable symlink preservation, missing descendants, and remote permission isolation.

## Why
Removing the selected working directory can prevent filesystem sandbox helpers from launching, even when the requested absolute paths remain accessible. Permission rules must stay anchored to the selected directory while those operations continue.
## What changed
- Require a policy `cwd` in `FileSystemSandboxContext` and launch filesystem helpers from the filesystem root while preserving the policy directory and workspace roots.
- Carry explicit `policyContext` in filesystem RPCs, preserving legacy wire fields and resolving omitted directories from older clients at executor ingress.
- Keep permission paths as executor file URIs and validate host compatibility where they are enforced.
- Bind Windows relative denial globs to the policy directory before changing the helper's launch directory, preserving home-relative patterns.
## Testing
Add regression coverage for `apply_patch` after working-directory removal, legacy RPC directory fallbacks, cross-platform permission URI transport, and Windows relative read denials. The patch regression verifies that an allowed file is updated while an explicitly denied file remains unreadable and unchanged.

## Why
Patch targets can use a different path convention from the Codex host, so
host-native path conversion can misclassify writable roots and requested
permissions.
## What changed
- Evaluate patch targets as `PathUri` values with the active filesystem policy
context, including workspace roots and the executor's path convention.
- Distinguish executor-managed sandboxing from local platform sandboxing when
deciding whether a patch can be auto-approved and how to normalize additional
write permissions.
- Make full-disk and special-path policy checks honor the selected executor's
Windows or POSIX convention.
## Testing
Add coverage for Windows executor URIs, full-disk policy aliases, remote patch
permission requests, sandbox availability, and owner-provided workspace roots.

## Why
Tool actions and approval retries can outlive the step that issued them. If approval handling reads newer turn settings, a delayed action can use the wrong approval policy or reviewer.
## What changed
- Capture the approval policy and reviewer in `GuardianReviewContext` from the issuing step.
- Use step settings for command, patch, permission, sandbox-retry, and remote-network approval decisions.
- Use the active task's published settings for background network approvals and long-lived Unix shell interception.
- Preserve explicit MCP reviewer overrides.
## Testing
Added regression coverage for permission requests, same-turn network policy changes, delayed commands after a new turn starts, sandbox retries, patch policy selection, and MCP reviewer overrides.

## Why
Downstream refactors are producing confusing code with this
functionality having a very generic name. Encoding the specific
conversion approach in the method name makes it clearer.
## What
Rename `PathUri::from_path` to `PathUri::from_host_native_path` and
update its Rust call sites.
## Why
Allows the model to edit files that are hosted on a different OS than
where app-server is running.
## What
* Use `PathUri` for apply_patch-internal data structures
* Limit `PathUri` -> `AbsolutePathBuf` conversion to cases where the
inferred path convention matches the host OS, allows requiring valid
paths to pass to perms check
* Adds `PathConvention::path_segments()` for iterating over path
segments regardless of OS
* Handle cross-platform relative paths in path filename parsing for
sniffing a shell
* Ensure we can apply patches in the wine e2e test
- Migrate apply-patch verification and application internals to use the
async `ExecutorFileSystem` abstraction from `exec-server`.
- Convert apply-patch `cwd` handling to `AbsolutePathBuf` through the
verifier/parser/handler boundary.
Doesn't change how the tool itself works.
## Why
PR #13783 moved the `codex.rs` unit tests into `codex_tests.rs`. This
applies the same extraction pattern across the rest of `codex-rs/core`
so the production modules stay focused on runtime code instead of large
inline test blocks.
Keeping the tests in sibling files also makes follow-up edits easier to
review because product changes no longer have to share a file with
hundreds or thousands of lines of test scaffolding.
## What changed
- replaced each inline `mod tests { ... }` in `codex-rs/core/src/**`
with a path-based module declaration
- moved each extracted unit test module into a sibling `*_tests.rs`
file, using `mod_tests.rs` for `mod.rs` modules
- preserved the existing `cfg(...)` guards and module-local structure so
the refactor remains structural rather than behavioral
## Testing
- `cargo test -p codex-core --lib` (`1653 passed; 0 failed; 5 ignored`)
- `just fix -p codex-core`
- `cargo fmt --check`
- `cargo shear`
