The existing `wire_format.rs` should share more types with the
`codex-protocol` crate (like `AskForApproval` instead of maintaining a
parallel `CodexToolCallApprovalPolicy` enum), so this PR moves
`wire_format.rs` into `codex-protocol`, renaming it as
`mcp-protocol.rs`. We also de-dupe types, where appropriate.

This adds a new request type, `SendUserTurn`, that makes it possible to
submit a `Op::UserTurn` operation (introduced in #2329) to a
conversation. This PR also adds a new integration test that verifies
that changing from `AskForApproval::UnlessTrusted` to
`AskForApproval::Never` mid-conversation ensures that an elicitation is
no longer sent for running `python3 -c print(42)`.

This PR:
* Added the clippy.toml to configure allowable expect / unwrap usage in
tests
* Removed as many expect/allow lines as possible from tests
* moved a bunch of allows to expects where possible
Note: in integration tests, non `#[test]` helper functions are not
covered by this so we had to leave a few lingering `expect(expect_used`
checks around
This updates `CodexMessageProcessor` so that each notification it sends
for a `EventMsg` from a `CodexConversation` such that:
- The `params` always has an appropriate `conversationId` field.
- The `method` is now includes the name of the `EventMsg` type rather
than using `codex/event` as the `method` type for all notifications. (We
currently prefix the method name with `codex/event/`, but I think that
should go away once we formalize the notification schema in
`wire_format.rs`.)
As part of this, we update `test_codex_jsonrpc_conversation_flow()` to
verify that the `task_finished` notification has made it through the
system instead of sleeping for 5s and "hoping" the server finished
processing the task. Note we have seen some flakiness in some of our
other, similar integration tests, and I expect adding a similar check
would help in those cases, as well.
This introduces a new set of request types that our `codex mcp`
supports. Note that these do not conform to MCP tool calls so that
instead of having to send something like this:
```json
{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"method": "tools/call",
"id": 42,
"params": {
"name": "newConversation",
"arguments": {
"model": "gpt-5",
"approvalPolicy": "on-request"
}
}
}
```
we can send something like this:
```json
{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"method": "newConversation",
"id": 42,
"params": {
"model": "gpt-5",
"approvalPolicy": "on-request"
}
}
```
Admittedly, this new format is not a valid MCP tool call, but we are OK
with that right now. (That is, not everything we might want to request
of `codex mcp` is something that is appropriate for an autonomous agent
to do.)
To start, this introduces four request types:
- `newConversation`
- `sendUserMessage`
- `addConversationListener`
- `removeConversationListener`
The new `mcp-server/tests/codex_message_processor_flow.rs` shows how
these can be used.
The types are defined on the `CodexRequest` enum, so we introduce a new
`CodexMessageProcessor` that is responsible for dealing with requests
from this enum. The top-level `MessageProcessor` has been updated so
that when `process_request()` is called, it first checks whether the
request conforms to `CodexRequest` and dispatches it to
`CodexMessageProcessor` if so.
Note that I also decided to use `camelCase` for the on-the-wire format,
as that seems to be the convention for MCP.
For the moment, the new protocol is defined in `wire_format.rs` within
the `mcp-server` crate, but in a subsequent PR, I will probably move it
to its own crate to ensure the protocol has minimal dependencies and
that we can codegen a schema from it.
