What issue are you seeing?
Estoy usando Codex para Mac con el plugin Sites. Tengo una app educativa publicada y necesito actualizarla para completar los grupos de alumnos.
Al intentar sincronizar el código, Codex recibe repetidamente este error:
write_stdin rejected: approval required by policy, but AskForApproval::Granular.sandbox_approval is false
Pasos para reproducir:
- Solicitar una actualización de un sitio existente mediante Sites.
- Conceder los permisos solicitados de red y escritura del proyecto.
- El proceso site-workflow.mjs muestra “Ready for Site workflow JSON on stdin (input is hidden).”
- El siguiente paso, write_stdin, es rechazado con el error indicado.
Resultado esperado:
Que la sincronización pueda continuar o se muestre una solicitud de aprobación que pueda revisar.
Resultado observado:
La operación se rechaza sin mostrar una solicitud que pueda aprobar. Esto impide actualizar y publicar la app.
El problema persistía el 4 de octubre de 2026.

What is the expected behavior?
Espero que Codex pueda continuar con la sincronización y publicación de los cambios del sitio después de conceder los permisos necesarios.
Si la operación requiere una aprobación adicional, debería aparecer una solicitud que pueda revisar y aprobar, en lugar de rechazarla sin ofrecer esa posibilidad.

El problema ocurrió repetidamente los días 3 y 4 de octubre de 2026, usando Codex en macOS con el plugin Sites.
Los permisos solicitados de red y escritura del proyecto fueron concedidos, pero write_stdin continuó siendo rechazado.
El sitio publicado sigue funcionando y permite guardar cambios desde sus formularios. El bloqueo afecta la sincronización del código necesaria para actualizarlo y publicar nuevas funciones.
No adjunto archivos del proyecto ni datos de alumnos porque contienen información personal.

What issue are you seeing?
I am using Codex for Mac with the Sites plugin. I have a published educational app and need to update it to complete the student groups.
When trying to sync the code, Codex repeatedly receives this error:
write_stdin rejected: approval required by policy, but AskForApproval::Granular.sandbox_approval is false
Steps to reproduce:
Expected result:
The sync should be able to continue, or an approval request that I can review should appear.
Observed result:
The operation is rejected without displaying a request that I can approve. This prevents updating and publishing the app.
The problem persisted on October 4, 2026.

What is the expected behavior?
I expect Codex to be able to continue syncing and publishing the site changes after I grant the necessary permissions.
If the operation requires additional approval, a request that I can review and approve should appear, instead of rejecting it without offering that possibility.

The problem occurred repeatedly on October 3 and 4, 2026, using Codex on macOS with the Sites plugin.
The requested network and project write permissions were granted, but write_stdin continued to be rejected.
The published site continues to work and allows changes to be saved through its forms. The block affects the code sync needed to update it and publish new features.
I am not attaching project files or student data because they contain personal information.

I’m using the ChatGPT desktop app for macOS. The “About ChatGPT” dialog shows:

The issue still occurs in this version when updating an existing site through the Sites plugin.

Additional macOS reproduction on October 8, 2026, with the Sites plugin (0.1.75): creating a new public Sites project succeeded, but the required
site-workflow.mjshandoff could not complete. Thewrite_stdincall used to pass workflow JSON was rejected becauseAskForApproval::Granular.sandbox_approvalwas false, and no approval prompt appeared. The Site remains at version 0, with no saved versions and no live URL.This affects initial publication as well as updates to existing Sites. Expected: the app should present an actionable approval request or provide a supported publishing path under the current permissions. No credentials, project IDs, personal paths, or private content are included here.
