Codex CLI is an open-source command-line tool for bringing OpenAI’s reasoning models into your development workflow. For installation, usage, and full documentation, refer to the official repository: [github.com/openai/codex](https://github.com/openai/codex?utm_source=chatgpt.com).

In this cookbook, we’ll use **Full Auto mode** in an ephemeral GitLab runner to generate a standards-compliant JSON report.
In this cookbook, we’ll run Codex with `--dangerously-bypass-approvals-and-sandbox` in an ephemeral GitLab runner to generate a standards-compliant JSON report. This flag disables Codex’s kernel-level sandbox (landlock/seccomp), which is unavailable in containerized CI environments like Kubernetes pods and Docker-based runners. Since the runner itself provides isolation, this is safe.
