## 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
In this PR, I am exploring migrating task kind to an invocation of
Codex. The main reason would be getting rid off multiple
`ConversationHistory` state and streamlining our context/history
management.
This approach depends on opening a channel between the sub-codex and
codex. This channel is responsible for forwarding `interactive`
(`approvals`) and `non-interactive` events. The `task` is responsible
for handling those events.
This opens the door for implementing `codex as a tool`, replacing
`compact` and `review`, and potentially subagents.
One consideration is this code is very similar to `app-server` specially
in the approval part. If in the future we wanted an interactive
`sub-codex` we should consider using `codex-mcp`
