What issue are you seeing?
Windows Codex elevated sandbox repeatedly fails when Codex is launched with HTTP_PROXY/HTTPS_PROXY to localhost proxy
What steps can reproduce the bug?
- Launch Codex normally from Start Menu.
- Run apply_patch or shell commands: no error.
- Close Codex.
- Launch Codex via a script that sets:
HTTP_PROXY=http://127.0.0.1:7892
HTTPS_PROXY=http://127.0.0.1:7892
NO_PROXY=localhost,127.0.0.1,::1
- Run apply_patch or shell commands.
- Windows popup appears:
codex-windows-sandbox-setup.exe 找不到指定的模块
What is the expected behavior?
Codex elevated sandbox should handle localhost proxy settings without repeatedly refreshing firewall/sandbox state or launching a broken setup helper.
Additional information
Workaround:
- Launch Codex normally without proxy script, or
- Set [windows] sandbox = "unelevated" when using the proxy launcher.
