Lack of Docker-in-Docker support for testing and integration
Users are unable to run Docker containers within the Codex environment, which blocks them from performing unit and integration tests. This limitation prevents the verification of cross-service communication and requires manual local babysitting of code changes.

Need the container feature as well as I am blocked from doing unit tests without it.
Being able to run integration tests against Docker is basic functionality
this will help me run cross-service tests and delegate more critical code changes to Codex over babysitting it locally.
kernel restrictions in the Codex image prevent creating new user namespaces (apparently because the unshare syscall is not available), and hence it will not run an image.
