What issue are you seeing?
Executed a command in read-only mode to read a mentioned file.
What steps can reproduce the bug?
Uploaded thread: 019b8032-7a02-7993-8449-f40d026f9d4c
What is the expected behavior?
Not execute commands. Codex should be run sandboxed. Only read the mentioned file without command/external programs.
Additional information
It seems codex-cli is not verifying the SandboxType in fn exec() at codex-rs/core/src/exec.rs nor the sandbox_policy in fn spawn_child_async at codex-rs/src/spawn.rs
The sandbox parameter at fn exec() seems to not being used if the target isn't Windows, also there is a macro flag to ignore unused variables.
