Description
What variant of Codex are you using?
CLI
What feature would you like to see?
I’ve implemented a working Android sandbox backend for Codex using seccomp + ptrace.
It enforces the existing "FileSystemSandboxPolicy" per syscall, works without Landlock or root, fails closed if the sandbox cannot be established, and supports both Termux and embedded Android app-server builds.
Before I prepare an upstream PR: would there be interest in adding an Android sandbox backend to Codex?

Research direction
Start with the linked docs/android_sandbox.md implementation and compare its stated seccomp, ptrace, and FileSystemSandboxPolicy behavior with Codex's existing sandbox backends. Before coding, establish the upstream scope and integration points; done would require an agreed design and implementation plan for Android support.
