Config Overrides and TOML Serialization

Prerequisites: - Familiarity with nested dict configuration

What you'll learn: - How CodexOptions.config is transformed - How nested config becomes --config key=value

Example Input

config = {
    "approval_policy": "never",
    "sandbox_workspace_write": {"network_access": True},
    "retry_budget": 3,
    "tool_rules": {"allow": ["git status", "git diff"]},
}

Effective CLI Overrides

  • approval_policy="never"
  • sandbox_workspace_write.network_access=true
  • retry_budget=3
  • tool_rules.allow=["git status", "git diff"]

Rules

  • Top-level must be an object
  • Keys must be non-empty strings
  • Numbers must be finite
  • Booleans map to true / false
  • Lists and objects serialize recursively

Failure Modes

  • Null/unsupported value types
  • Empty keys
  • Non-finite floats
