## Why
The app-server and exec-server expose separate JSON-RPC APIs, but
exec-server currently sources its serialized protocol and envelope types
through app-server-oriented code. Giving each API an explicit owner
makes the crate boundary legible without introducing shared generic
envelopes.
## What changed
- Added `codex-exec-server-protocol` to own exec DTOs, process IDs, and
JSON-RPC envelopes.
- Updated exec-server clients, transports, handlers, and tests to use
the new crate.
- Exposed app-server's existing JSON-RPC types through a public `rpc`
module while retaining root re-exports.
- Preserved existing wire shapes, including exec `PathUri` behavior.
## Stack
This is PR 1 of 6. Next: [PR
#29721](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/29721), which moves auth
mode below the app wire boundary.
## Validation
- Exec-server protocol and server coverage passed in the focused
protocol test runs.
- App-server protocol schema fixtures passed.
### Why
Remote streamable HTTP MCP needs the executor to perform ordinary HTTP
requests on the executor side. This keeps network placement aligned with
`experimental_environment = "remote"` without adding MCP-specific
executor APIs.
### What
- Add an executor-side `http/request` runner backed by `reqwest`.
- Validate request method and URL scheme, preserving the transport
boundary at plain HTTP.
- Return buffered responses for ordinary calls and emit ordered
`http/request/bodyDelta` notifications for streaming responses.
- Register the request handler in the exec-server router.
- Document the runner entrypoint, conversion helpers, body-stream
bridge, notification sender, timeout behavior, and new integration-test
helpers.
- Add exec-server integration tests with the existing websocket harness
and a local TCP HTTP peer for buffered and streamed responses, with
comments spelling out what each test proves and its
setup/exercise/assert phases.
### Stack
1. #18581 protocol
2. #18582 runner
3. #18583 RMCP client
4. #18584 manager wiring and local/remote coverage
### Verification
- `just fmt`
- `cargo check -p codex-exec-server -p codex-rmcp-client --tests`
- `cargo check -p codex-core --test all` compile-only
- `git diff --check`
- Online full CI is running from the `full-ci` branch, including the
remote Rust test job.
