The current description of full-auto when running codex --help and codex exec --help is as follows:
--full-auto
Convenience alias for low-friction sandboxed automatic execution (-a on-failure, --sandbox workspace-write)However when looking at the code inside codex-rs/tui/src/lib.rs it seems that full-auto is on-request rather than on failure:
pub async fn run_main(
mut cli: Cli,
codex_linux_sandbox_exe: Option<PathBuf>,
) -> std::io::Result<AppExitInfo> {
let (sandbox_mode, approval_policy) = if cli.full_auto {
(
Some(SandboxMode::WorkspaceWrite),
Some(AskForApproval::OnRequest),
)which is also aligned with what is written in https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/main/docs/sandbox.md#platform-sandboxing-details
