Research direction
Start by reproducing the helper_unknown_error: apply deny-read ACLs failure on Windows 10/11 while using the file tools. Trace the Windows sandbox path responsible for applying deny-read ACLs; the issue is resolved when workspace files can be read and the slide deck can be exported without the sandbox error.

What issue are you seeing?
windows sandbox: helper_unknown_error: apply deny-read ACLs
File tools fail before reading any workspace file; restarting the task/app did not resolve it.
What steps can reproduce the bug?
Everytime I try to add slides to my slide deck, it says: "The task is blocked by Codex’s Windows file-sandbox bug, so I can’t access or export the deck despite having the slide content. Please stop retrying this task. "
What is the expected behavior?
I would like to continue to build my slide deck using PDF and outside resources.
