Codex subagents currently receive a workspace-write sandbox policy without network access, so tasks that fetch dependencies or call an HTTP endpoint fail even when the owner wants a network-enabled worker. There is no persisted setting to enable networking while retaining the filesystem sandbox.

This adds an optional networkAccess boolean to the codex entry in subagents.providers. It defaults to false, is passed through the daemon and driver into Codex turn sandbox policies, and applies to both new and continued agents. Read-only and full-access policies remain unchanged; other providers reject the setting. The configuration reference and generated JSON schema include the option and daemon restart guidance.

Verified with typecheck, the full test suite (111 passed, 1 skipped), the configuration round-trip test, build, and package-install smoke test. Regression coverage checks omitted/false/true values and new/resumed turns across the existing sandbox modes. An isolated run through the built DevSpace CLI also loaded networkAccess: true from JSONC, launched a real Codex subagent, and completed an HTTPS request with HTTP 200; its session recorded workspace-write with network access enabled. No MCP-host UI acceptance was repeated for this change.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added an optional networkAccess setting for Codex subagent profiles.
    • When enabled, Codex workers using the workspace-write sandbox can access the network.
    • The setting defaults to disabled and does not change filesystem write restrictions.
    • Changes take effect after restarting the agent daemon.
  • Validation

    • Network access settings are validated and limited to Codex providers.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds an optional networkAccess setting for Codex providers. The setting is validated, documented, passed through daemon-created drivers, and applied to Codex workspace-write sandbox policies.

Changes

Codex network access

Layer / File(s) Summary
Configuration contract and validation
src/local-agent-config.ts, schema/v1/devspace.schema.json, src/local-agent-config.test.ts, src/config.test.ts, docs/configuration.md
Defines optional boolean networkAccess, rejects it for non-Codex providers, preserves configured values, and documents daemon restart requirements and sandbox behavior.
Runtime sandbox policy propagation
src/local-agent-codex.ts, src/local-agent-codex.test.ts
Passes network access through runtime creation and turn parameters. Adds it to workspaceWrite policies while leaving read-only and full-access policies unchanged.
Daemon driver wiring
src/local-agent-daemon-main.ts, src/local-agent-adapters.ts
Reads the Codex provider setting and passes it to CodexLocalAgentDriver through createLocalAgentDrivers.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 7c10d

Configurations for non-Codex providers can pass JSON Schema validation but fail when DevSpace loads them, producing inconsistent configuration behavior. Align the generated schema with the Codex-only restriction before merging.

Greptile Summary

This PR adds an opt-in Codex network-access setting and propagates it from persisted configuration through daemon driver construction into workspace-write turn policies.

  • Defaults networking to disabled and leaves read-only and full-access policies unchanged.
  • Applies the policy to both newly created and resumed Codex sessions.
  • Adds runtime validation, configuration documentation, generated schema output, and regression coverage.
  • The generated JSON Schema does not currently encode the runtime’s Codex-only restriction.

Confidence Score: 4/5

The PR should not merge until the published configuration schema enforces the same Codex-only constraint as runtime validation.

The policy propagation and restart behavior are consistent, but the generated schema approves non-Codex configurations that the application rejects when loading.

Files Needing Attention: schema/v1/devspace.schema.json and its schema-generation source

Important Files Changed

Filename Overview
src/local-agent-config.ts Adds optional boolean parsing and correctly restricts the setting to Codex during runtime validation.
src/local-agent-daemon-main.ts Reads the Codex provider setting at daemon startup and forwards it into driver construction.
src/local-agent-codex.ts Carries network access into new and resumed workspace-write turn policies while preserving other sandbox modes.
schema/v1/devspace.schema.json Adds the setting but exposes it to every provider, diverging from the Codex-only runtime constraint.
src/local-agent-codex.test.ts Covers omitted, false, and true values across sandbox modes and new or resumed sessions.

P1 Schema Accepts Invalid Providers

The shared provider schema allows networkAccess for every provider, but runtime validation only allows it for Codex. As a result, an editor or CI validator can approve a non-Codex configuration that the application then rejects while loading. Please encode the Codex-only constraint in the generated schema.

Reject networkAccess for non-Codex providers in the JSON Schema.

This schema adds networkAccess to every provider object. The Zod schema rejects the field unless id is "codex". A JSON Schema consumer can therefore accept { "id": "claude", "networkAccess": true }, while DevSpace later rejects it.

Add a conditional or provider-specific oneOf so both schemas enforce the same contract.
