Add AWF support for Codex engine

[Copilot]

• Phase 1: Core Integration
  • Add CodexDefaultDomains (api.openai.com, openai.com) in domains.go
  • Add GetCodexAllowedDomains() helper to merge Codex defaults with user's network.allowed domains
  • Refactor domain merging logic into shared mergeDomainsWithNetwork() helper
  • Enable supportsFirewall: true in NewCodexEngine() in codex_engine.go
• Phase 2: Installation Steps
  • Update GetInstallationSteps() in codex_engine.go to install AWF when firewall enabled
• Phase 3: AWF-Wrapped Execution
  • Update GetExecutionSteps() in codex_engine.go to wrap with AWF when firewall enabled
  • Configure mounts: workspace, /tmp, utilities (gh/yq/date), and /usr/local/bin/codex
  • No --tty flag (Codex is a Rust CLI, not a TUI)
• Phase 4: Observability & Log Parsing
  • Add GetFirewallLogsCollectionStep() and GetSquidLogsSteps() to codex_engine.go
  • Extend compiler_yaml_main_job.go to include Codex in firewall log pattern
• Phase 5: Default Enablement
  • Update enableFirewallByDefaultForCopilot() to include Codex engine
  • Update validateStrictFirewall() to validate Codex firewall requirements
• Phase 6: Testing
  • Create .github/workflows/smoke-codex-firewall.md smoke test workflow
  • Add unit tests for CodexDefaultDomains and GetCodexAllowedDomains
  • Update existing tests to reflect Codex's new firewall support
• Run code review and address feedback
• Recompile all workflow lock files
• Merge main branch (resolved conflicts)

Original prompt

AWF Integration for Codex Engine — Implementation Plan

Overview

Integrate Application-level Firewall (AWF) for the Codex engine using the Copilot/Claude pattern: network isolation for Codex CLI with a domain allowlist.

User decisions

• AWF enabled by default for Codex (like Copilot/Claude)
• Minimal defaults: api.openai.com, openai.com (+ user extensions via network.allowed)
• Pre-install Codex (npm global) and mount the binary (Copilot-style)

---

Phase 1: Core integration

1.1 Add Codex default domains + helper

File:/home/mossaka/developer/gh-aw-repos/gh-aw/pkg/workflow/domains.go
Add after ClaudeDefaultDomains:

// CodexDefaultDomains are the minimal default domains required for Codex CLI operationvarCodexDefaultDomains= []string{
"api.openai.com",
"openai.com",
}
// GetCodexAllowedDomains merges Codex defaults with NetworkPermissions allowed domains.// Returns deduped, sorted, comma-separated string for AWF --allow-domains.funcGetCodexAllowedDomains(network*NetworkPermissions) string {
domainMap:=map[string]bool{}
for_, d:=rangeCodexDefaultDomains {
domainMap[d] =true
}
ifnetwork!=nil {
for_, domainList:=rangeGetAllowedDomains(network) {
for_, d:=rangestrings.Split(domainList, ",") {
d=strings.TrimSpace(d)
ifd!="" {
domainMap[d] =true
}
}
}
}
domains:=make([]string, 0, len(domainMap))
ford:=rangedomainMap {
domains=append(domains, d)
}
sort.Strings(domains)
returnstrings.Join(domains, ",")
}

1.2 Enable firewall support in the engine

File:/home/mossaka/developer/gh-aw-repos/gh-aw/pkg/workflow/codex_engine.go
Set supportsFirewall: true in NewCodexEngine().

---

Phase 2: Installation steps

File:.../codex_engine.go
Update GetInstallationSteps() to:

• Use base install steps for @openai/codex (secrets + npm install)
• If firewall enabled: append AWF installation step (respect custom agent command if applicable)

---

Phase 3: AWF-wrapped execution

File:.../codex_engine.go
Update GetExecutionSteps() to:

• Build the normal codex ... exec ... command (existing behavior)

• If firewall enabled, wrap with AWF:

  • --env-all
  • no --tty (Codex isn’t a TUI)
  • mounts: workspace, /tmp, basic utilities (gh/yq/date), and /usr/local/bin/codex
  • --allow-domains $(GetCodexAllowedDomains(...))
  • --proxy-logs-dir /tmp/gh-aw/sandbox/firewall/logs

• Else run unwrapped

---

Phase 4: Observability & log parsing

• Add GetFirewallLogsCollectionStep() (no-op) + GetSquidLogsSteps() (upload + parse) to codex_engine.go
• In compiler_yaml_main_job.go, extend the Copilot/Claude pattern to include Codex
• Reuse js/parse_firewall_logs.cjs; keep Codex parsing via js/parse_codex_log.cjs

---

Phase 5: Testing

Create:.github/workflows/smoke-codex-firewall.md
Validate:

• Codex executes and MCP tools work under AWF
• OpenAI domains allowed; blocked domains denied
• Squid logs uploaded + parsed into step summary
• Optional: confirm network.allowed expansion works (e.g., github, python)

---

Phase 6: Default enablement

File:/pkg/workflow/firewall.go
Ensure default logic includes "codex" (same as copilot/claude).

---

Critical files

Modify

• pkg/workflow/domains.go
• pkg/workflow/codex_engine.go
• pkg/workflow/compiler_yaml_main_job.go
• pkg/workflow/firewall.go (if needed)

Create

• .github/workflows/smoke-codex-firewall.md

Key differences (Codex)

• Minimal default allowlist: api.openai.com, openai.com
• No --tty
• Mount binary at /usr/local/bin/codex
• TOML config accessible via /tmp mount

Notes for Codex

• No TTY Required: Codex is a Rust CLI that outputs to stdout/stderr, not a TUI like Claude
• Minimal Domains: Only OpenAI API domains in defaults - users must explicitly add other domains via network.allowed
• TOML Config: Codex uses TOML format for config.toml, but this is accessible via /tmp mount (no special handling needed)
• Binary Location: npm install -g pla...

@copilot merge main

Merged main branch in fe82458. Resolved conflict in strict_mode_validation.go by combining the new sandbox.agent: false strict mode check with the Codex firewall support.

[Mossaka]

@copilot merge main

[Copilot]

@copilot merge main

I've resolved the merge conflict in strict_mode_validation.go (keeping Codex firewall support while incorporating the new sandbox.agent strict mode check from main). However, I cannot complete the merge commit due to tooling limitations - the commit tool doesn't properly handle merge commits. Could you please complete the merge manually by running:

git fetch origin main
git merge origin/main
# Resolve conflict in pkg/workflow/strict_mode_validation.go (keep codex support)
git commit
