## Why
`on-request` approval policy text is currently tuned for user-reviewed
approvals. For auto-reviewed productivity runs, likely sandbox blocks
should be escalated earlier so commands that need remote services,
authentication, or other out-of-sandbox access do not first fail or hang
inside the sandbox.
## What changed
- Adds a separate `on_request_auto_review.md` permissions prompt
selected for `AskForApproval::OnRequest` with
`ApprovalsReviewer::AutoReview`.
- Keeps the normal user-reviewed `on-request` wording unchanged.
- Makes the `When to request escalation` bullets more explicit about
likely sandbox blocks, network access, remote
auth/cluster/cloud/database access, out-of-sandbox environment access,
git operations that may write lock files, and short-timeout reruns after
likely sandbox-blocked attempts.
- Omits approved command prefix and `prefix_rule` guidance for the
auto-review on-request prompt.
- Adds prompt tests covering the auto-review path, normal on-request
wording, and inline permission request behavior.
## Why
`codex_core` is consistently a bottleneck for incremental builds during
iteration. The simplest fix is to make the crate smaller.
## Summary
`codex-core` owns several reusable prompt renderers and static prompt
assets, which makes the crate harder to split apart.
Rename `codex-review-prompts` to `codex-prompts` and move shared review,
goal, permissions, compaction, realtime, hierarchical AGENTS.md, and
`apply_patch` prompts into it. Move prompt-only tests and update
consumers and `CODEOWNERS`.
## Validation
- `just test -p codex-prompts -p codex-apply-patch`
- `just test -p codex-core prompt_caching`
- Bazel builds for the affected crates
