## Why
We want to make it possible for an app-server orchestrator on one OS to
control an exec-server on another host running a different OS. In
practice this kinda already works if you get lucky and the two hosts
have the same path format, but we mangle quite a lot of operations if
either end is Windows.
This test starts exercising that interaction, although right now the
initial bootstrap fails. Future changes will expand the test's
assertions to match improved support.
## What
Stacked on #27964. This adds a small Windows exec-server fixture and a
Linux protocol smoke test using the reusable Wine harness, covering
Windows environment discovery, non-TTY `cmd.exe` execution, output, exit
status, and working directory.
Once we've got the full codex binary cross-building under Bazel we could
consider moving to the real binary instead of the stripped down
exec-server-only binary used here.
## Why
`main` recently needed
[#17691](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/17691) because code behind
`cfg(not(debug_assertions))` was not being compiled by the Bazel PR
workflow. Our existing CI only built the fast/debug configuration, so
PRs could stay green while release-only Rust code still failed to
compile. This PR adds a release-style compile check that is cheap enough
to run on every PR.
## What Changed
- Added a `verify-release-build` job to `.github/workflows/bazel.yml`.
- Represented each supported OS once in that job's matrix: x64 Linux,
arm64 macOS, and x64 Windows.
- Kept the build close to fastbuild cost by using
`--compilation_mode=fastbuild` while forcing Rust to compile with
`-Cdebug-assertions=no`, which makes `cfg(not(debug_assertions))` true
without also turning on release optimizations or debug-info generation.
- Added comments in `.github/workflows/bazel.yml` and
`scripts/list-bazel-release-targets.sh` to make the job's intent and
target scope explicit.
- Restored the Bazel repository cache save behavior to run after every
non-cancelled job, matching
[#16926](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/16926), and removed the
now-unused `repository-cache-hit` output from `prepare-bazel-ci`.
- Reused the shared `prepare-bazel-ci` action from the parent PR so the
new job does not duplicate Bazel setup boilerplate.
## Verification
- Used `bazel aquery` on `//codex-rs/tui:codex-tui` to confirm the Rust
compile still uses `opt-level=0` and `debuginfo=0` while passing
`-Cdebug-assertions=no`.
- Parsed `.github/workflows/bazel.yml` as YAML locally.
- Ran `bash -n scripts/list-bazel-release-targets.sh`.
