What version of the Codex App are you using (From “About Codex” dialog)?

Version 26.429.20946 (2312)

What subscription do you have?

Enterprise? Not sure its through my company.

What platform is your computer?

Darwin 25.4.0 x86_64 i386 (Client)
Linux 4.18.0-553.120.1.el8_10.x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 (Server)

What issue are you seeing?

Codex desktop app remote_connections fails on Oracle Linux 8 with system bubblewrap 0.4.0.

Environment:

  • codex-cli 0.128.0
  • bubblewrap 0.4.0-2.el8_10.x86_64
  • /usr/bin/bwrap lacks --perms

Notes:

  • VS Code integration on the same host has worked previously, so this appears specific to the desktop app remote sandbox runner path.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Repro:

  • connect to OL8 host
  • run any command, including pwd

Actual:

  • command fails immediately
  • stderr: bwrap: Unknown option --perms

What is the expected behavior?

_No response_

Additional information

Ive seen this on the Desktop app with my M1 Mac as well
