What issue are you seeing?

I am using Codex CLI on Windows.

Codex CLI version:
codex-cli 0.144.4

Issue:
When working in the local project folder, file editing sometimes fails even though the file is inside the workspace and is not read-
only.

Environment:

• OS: Windows
• Shell: PowerShell
• Workspace: D:\program\gy_manual
• File attempted: D:\program\gy_manual\source file\document_reader.py

What happened:

1. I tried to update source file\document_reader.py.
2. apply_patch failed with a Windows sandbox helper error.
3. A direct Python write also failed with PermissionError.
4. The file attributes showed only Archive, not read-only.

Error messages:

```text
apply_patch verification failed: Failed to read file to update D:\program\gy_manual\source file\document_reader.py: fs sandbox helper
failed with status exit code: 1: windows sandbox failed: helper_unknown_error: setup refresh had errors

PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'D:\\program\\gy_manual\\source file\\document_reader.py'

File attribute check:

FullName : D:\program\gy_manual\source file\document_reader.py
Attributes : Archive
Length : 16991

Expected behavior:
Codex should be able to edit files inside the declared writable workspace, or provide a clearer actionable error if the Windows sandbox
blocks the write.

Additional context:
The path contains a folder name with a space: source file.
