This PR adds shared bottom-pane selection-list for future `/plugins`
menu work and wires the existing `/plugins` menu into the new
list-rendering path without changing it to tabs yet. The main
user-visible effect is that the current plugin list now renders as a
denser single-line list with shared name-column sizing, while the tabbed
selection support remains available for follow-up PRs but is currently
unused in production menus.
- Add generic tabbed selection-list support to the bottom pane,
including per-tab headers/items and tab-aware list state
- Add single-line row rendering with ellipsis truncation for dense list
UIs
- Add shared name-column width support so descriptions align
consistently across rows
- Wire the current /plugins menu to the new single-line and shared
column-width behavior only
- Keep tabbed menu adoption deferred; no existing menu is switched to
tabs in this PR

This is a follow-up to https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/15922. That
previous PR deleted the old `tui` directory and left the new
`tui_app_server` directory in place. This PR renames `tui_app_server` to
`tui` and fixes up all references.
This is the part 1 of 2 PRs that will delete the `tui` /
`tui_app_server` split. This part simply deletes the existing `tui`
directory and marks the `tui_app_server` feature flag as removed. I left
the `tui_app_server` feature flag in place for now so its presence
doesn't result in an error. It is simply ignored.
Part 2 will rename the `tui_app_server` directory `tui`. I did this as
two parts to reduce visible code churn.
Migrate `cwd` and related session/config state to `AbsolutePathBuf` so
downstream consumers consistently see absolute working directories.
Add test-only `.abs()` helpers for `Path`, `PathBuf`, and `TempDir`, and
update branch-local tests to use them instead of
`AbsolutePathBuf::try_from(...)`.
For the remaining TUI/app-server snapshot coverage that renders absolute
cwd values, keep the snapshots unchanged and skip the Windows-only cases
where the platform-specific absolute path layout differs.
- Remove marketplace from left column.
- Change `Can be installed` to `Available`
- Align right-column marketplace + selected-row hint text across states.
- Changes applied to both `tui` and `tui_app_server`.
- Update related snapshots/tests.

Updates plugin ordering so installed plugins are listed first, with
alphabetical sorting applied within the installed and uninstalled
groups. The behavior is now consistent across both `tui` and
`tui_app_server`, and related tests/snapshots were updated.
Show all plugin marketplaces in the /plugins popup by removing the
`openai-curated` marketplace filter, and update plugin popup
copy/tests/snapshots to match the new behavior in both TUI codepaths.
### Preliminary /plugins TUI menu
- Adds a preliminary /plugins menu flow in both tui and tui_app_server.
- Fetches plugin list data asynchronously and shows loading/error/cached
states.
- Limits this first pass to the curated ChatGPT marketplace.
- Shows available plugins with installed/status metadata.
- Supports in-menu search over plugin display name, plugin id, plugin
name, and marketplace label.
- Opens a plugin detail view on selection, including summaries for
Skills, Apps, and MCP Servers, with back navigation.
### Testing
- Launch codex-cli with plugins enabled (`--enable plugins`).
- Run /plugins and verify:
- loading state appears first
- plugin list is shown
- search filters results
- selecting a plugin opens detail view, with a list of
skills/connectors/MCP servers for the plugin
- back action returns to the list.
- Verify disabled behavior by running /plugins without plugins enabled
(shows “Plugins are disabled” message).
- Launch with `--enable tui_app_server` (and plugins enabled) and repeat
the same /plugins flow; behavior should match.
