Hi,
I am using codex-cli in docker. After upgrading codex from 0.114.0 to 0.117.0, I found that the warnning: bwrap: No permissions to create a new namespace, likely because the kernel does not allow non-privileged user namespaces. On e.g. debian this can be enabled with 'sysctl kernel.unprivileged_userns_clone=1'.

I found a related discussion here:

What’s the best way to handle this and improve the experience when running in Docker?

What steps can reproduce the bug?

run cli in docker

What is the expected behavior?
