Codex faills with sandbox error trying to execute python file

IF YOU GOT SAME PROBLEM TRY TO ROLLBACK TO 0.1.2504251709 VERSION:
npm install -g @openai/codex@0.1.2504251709

Which model were you using?

o4-mini

What platform is your computer?

Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.26100.0 x64

What steps can reproduce the bug?

I use windows11 with wsl2 to run codex. Figured out that it can't run python files and returns sandbox error if codex is in full-auto mode. It can create and modify, but can't run. To reproduce error - call codex in full-auto mode with dumb prompt like "create python script that calculates 2**20 and return result to me"

What is the expected behavior?

It must run python file and return result of execution

What do you see instead?

Error: Sandbox was mandated, but no sandbox is available!

Additional information

Also got similar issue on ubuntu 22. Tried to launch codex via docker container using codex/codex-cli/scripts/run_in_container.sh command but it didn't help.

My setup:
Node.js v22.15.0
Codex 0.1.2504301751
Python 3.12.3
