Codex CLI — OpenAI AI Coding Agent
OpenAI's open-source coding agent. Rust, ~950K lines, sandboxed.
Architecture: ~116 crate Rust workspace with a protocol layer (SQ/EQ session types), sandbox manager (macOS Seatbelt, Linux nsjail), multi-provider support, configurable TUI.
Safety model: Most sophisticated safety system of any coding agent analyzed. Multi-layer: process hardening (macOS Seatbelt with 4 profile tiers), execution policy engine, sandboxing via nsjail/Seatbelt, Guardian module for tool permission gating. No prompt-based safety — all deterministic through policy definitions.
Data model: Protocol-defined session types. Structured request/response models. Config through TOML files with schema validation.
Self-modification: Protected by sandbox — the agent cannot escape to modify its own binary or config without explicit policy override.
Verification: None (no proof system).
Key gap vs Passepartout: No knowledge graph, no persistent memory model, no deterministic gate stack for agent behavior (only OS-level sandboxing), no ACL2/prover, no neurosymbolic architecture. Strongest sandbox but weakest cognitive architecture.
