Currently we emit `thread/status/changed` with `Idle` status right
before sending `thread/started` event (which also has `Idle` status in
it).
It feels that there is no point in that as client has no way to know
prior state of the thread as it didn't exist yet, so silence these kinds
of notifications.
Adds a new v2 app-server API for a client to be able to unsubscribe to a
thread:
- New RPC method: `thread/unsubscribe`
- New server notification: `thread/closed`
Today clients can start/resume/archive threads, but there wasn’t a way
to explicitly unload a live thread from memory without archiving it.
With `thread/unsubscribe`, a client can indicate it is no longer
actively working with a live Thread. If this is the only client
subscribed to that given thread, the thread will be automatically closed
by app-server, at which point the server will send `thread/closed` and
`thread/status/changed` with `status: notLoaded` notifications.
This gives clients a way to prevent long-running app-server processes
from accumulating too many thread (and related) objects in memory.
Closed threads will also be removed from `thread/loaded/list`.
## Summary
- add graceful websocket app-server restart on Ctrl-C by draining until
no assistant turns are running
- stop the websocket acceptor and disconnect existing connections once
the drain condition is met
- add a websocket integration test that verifies Ctrl-C waits for an
in-flight turn before exit
## Verification
- `cargo check -p codex-app-server --quiet`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server --test all
suite::v2::connection_handling_websocket`
- I (maxj) tested remote and local Codex.app

## Why
`thread/resume` responses for already-running threads can be reported as
`Idle` even while a turn is still in progress. This is caused by a
timing window where the runtime watch state has not yet observed the
running-thread transition, so API clients can receive stale status
information at resume time.

## What
- Add a shared status normalization helper, `resolve_thread_status`, in
`codex-rs/app-server/src/thread_status.rs` that resolves
`Idle`/`NotLoaded` to `Active { active_flags: [] }` when an in-progress
turn is known.
- Reuse this helper across thread response paths in
`codex-rs/app-server/src/codex_message_processor.rs` (including
`thread/start`, `thread/unarchive`, `thread/read`, `thread/resume`,
`thread/fork`, and review/thread-started notification responses).
- In `handle_pending_thread_resume_request`, use both the in-memory
`active_turn_snapshot` and the resumed rollout turns to decide whether a
turn is in progress before resolving thread status for the response.
- Extend `thread_status` tests to validate the new status-resolution
behavior directly.
## Verification
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server
suite::v2::thread_resume::thread_resume_rejoins_running_thread_even_with_override_mismatch`
Exposes through the app server updated names set for a thread. This
enables other surfaces to use the core as the source of truth for thread
naming. `threadName` is gathered using the helper functions used to
interact with `session_index.jsonl`, and is hydrated in:
- `thread/list`
- `thread/read`
- `thread/resume`
- `thread/unarchive`
- `thread/rollback`
We don't do this for `thread/start` and `thread/fork`.
Motivation
- Today, a newly connected client has no direct way to determine the
current runtime status of threads from read/list responses alone.
- This forces clients to infer state from transient events, which can
lead to stale or inconsistent UI when reconnecting or attaching late.
Changes
- Add `status` to `thread/read` responses.
- Add `statuses` to `thread/list` responses.
- Emit `thread/status/changed` notifications with `threadId` and the new
status.
- Track runtime status for all loaded threads and default unknown
threads to `idle`.
- Update protocol/docs/tests/schema fixtures for the revised API.
Testing
- Validated protocol API changes with automated protocol tests and
regenerated schema/type fixtures.
- Validated app-server behavior with unit and integration test suites,
including status transitions and notifications.
