## Why
Codex CLI packaging is currently split across npm staging, standalone
installers, and release bundle creation, which makes it hard to define
and validate a single valid package directory. This adds the first
standalone package builder so later release paths can converge on the
same canonical layout.
## What changed
- Added `scripts/build_codex_package.py` as the stable executable
wrapper around `scripts/codex_package`.
- Added modules for CLI parsing, target metadata, grouped cargo builds,
package layout validation, and archive writing.
- The builder creates a package directory with `codex-package.json`,
`bin/`, `codex-resources/`, and `codex-path`, and can serialize it as
`.tar.gz`, `.tar.zst`, or `.zip`.
- Source-built artifacts are built by one grouped `cargo build`: `codex`
for all targets, `bwrap` for Linux, and the Windows sandbox helpers for
Windows. `rg` remains an input because it is vendored from upstream
rather than built from this repo.
- Added `scripts/codex_package/README.md` to document the package
layout, source-built artifacts, and cargo profile behavior.
## Verification
- Ran wrapper/module syntax compilation.
- Ran `scripts/build_codex_package.py --help` from `/private/tmp`.
- Ran fake-cargo package/archive builds for macOS, Linux, and Windows
target layouts, including an assertion that generated tar archives
contain no duplicate member names.
