Motivation

Allow codex exec to be used in environments that already enforce an external sandbox while still communicating network restrictions to the agent.
Reduce failed attempts/retries caused by the agent assuming network access when it is actually blocked by the surrounding sandbox.

Description

Extend codex exec --sandbox to accept external-sandbox and add --network-access restricted|enabled to declare outbound network availability.
When external-sandbox is selected, override the effective config to use SandboxPolicy::ExternalSandbox { network_access } without adding config-wide support.
Add validation for incompatible flag combinations and integration tests covering all --sandbox options plus the key error cases.

Testing

cargo test -p codex-exec (pass)
