What problem does this solve?

• On Linux Codex runs inside scripts/run_in_container.sh.
  Inside the container Codex looks for configs at /home/node/.codex (instructions, approval presets, session logs).
  Because the host $HOME/.codex is not bind‑mounted today, every container start loses those files — users cannot persist settings or share them between runs. 

Proposed solution

1. Add a conditional bind mount in run_in_container.sh

   if [[ -e "$HOME/.codex" ]]; then
     docker_flags+=("-v" "$HOME/.codex:/home/node/.codex:ro")
   fi```
   
        *No directory ⇒ no mount ⇒ zero breakage.*

2. Allow an override flag --config PATH so power‑users can point to an alternative folder/file (future‑proof for dot‑file minimalists). ([GitHub][1])
3. Keep the mount read‑only; the container already writes logs under /home/node/.codex/log, which is safe. ([GitHub][2])

Why now?

• as the development of the rust version with stable sandbox features for all OS will run smooth this enhancement will unify the conainerized linux to the mac sandbox. As Users will also have a persitent config and session logs while running the TS version of codex in a container.

Acceptance criteria

• run_in_container.sh mounts $HOME/.codex when present.
• Codex inside the container loads the user’s config.json and shows the chosen approval mode in the banner.
• Script behaves exactly as before when the directory is absent.

Checklist

• implementation
• passes pnpm test && pnpm lint && pnpm typecheck
