1619664 : Re: Codex VS Code Extension on Maxwell Cluster – Usage Question and Technical Issue¶

Created: 2026-07-23T11:07:16Z - current status: new¶

Summary: A user reports two issues regarding the Codex VS Code extension on a computing cluster ([CLUSTER_NAME]). 1. They seek clarification on whether the extension's usage is permitted on login/display nodes for interactive coding. 2. They encounter a technical error (EACCES: permission denied) due to /tmp/codex-ipc being owned by others and non-writable, blocking the extension’s initialization.

Anonymized Details: - User: [USER] - Email: [EMAIL] - Cluster: [CLUSTER_NAME]

Possible Solution/Next Steps: 1. Confirm policy: Check if the Codex VS Code extension is officially supported/allowed on shared nodes. 2. Fix permissions: If allowed, ensure /tmp/codex-ipc has proper per-user isolation (e.g., unique temp directories) or adjust permissions for write access. 3. Escalate: Direct the query to the relevant admin team for policy/technical resolution.
