Summary

Codex CLI v0.135.0 reports:

Codex could not find bubblewrap on PATH. Install bubblewrap with your OS package manager.
Codex will use the bundled bubblewrap in the meantime.

However, bwrap is installed, available on PATH, and Codex itself successfully executes it.

Environment

• Codex CLI: 0.135.0
• OS: Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS
• bubblewrap: 0.6.1

$ command -v bwrap
/usr/bin/bwrap

$ bwrap --version
bubblewrap 0.6.1

Verification

Manual bubblewrap test succeeds:

bwrap --ro-bind / / --proc /proc --dev /dev --tmpfs /tmp /bin/sh -c 'echo bwrap-ok'

Output:

bwrap-ok

Evidence from strace

Codex checks and executes /usr/bin/bwrap:

access("/usr/bin/bwrap", X_OK) = 0

execve("/usr/bin/bwrap",
["/usr/bin/bwrap",
 "--unshare-user",
 "--unshare-net",
 "--ro-bind",
 "/",
 "/",
 "/bin/true"],
 ...)

Namespace creation succeeds:

clone(... CLONE_NEWNS|CLONE_NEWUSER|CLONE_NEWNET|SIGCHLD) = <pid>

No obvious EPERM/EACCES failure is present.

Expected behavior

No bubblewrap warning should be shown when:

• /usr/bin/bwrap exists
• access(..., X_OK) succeeds
• Codex successfully executes bwrap

Actual behavior

Codex still displays:

Codex could not find bubblewrap on PATH.

even though the binary is found and executed.

This appears to be a false positive or misleading startup warning.
