fix: implement 'Allow this session' for apply_patch approvals (#8451 )

**Summary**
This PR makes “ApprovalDecision::AcceptForSession / don’t ask again this
session” actually work for `apply_patch` approvals by caching approvals
based on absolute file paths in codex-core, properly wiring it through
app-server v2, and exposing the choice in both TUI and TUI2.
- This brings `apply_patch` calls to be at feature-parity with general
shell commands, which also have a "Yes, and don't ask again" option.
- This also fixes VSCE's "Allow this session" button to actually work.

While we're at it, also split the app-server v2 protocol's
`ApprovalDecision` enum so execpolicy amendments are only available for
command execution approvals.

**Key changes**
- Core: per-session patch approval allowlist keyed by absolute file
paths
- Handles multi-file patches and renames/moves by recording both source
and destination paths for `Update { move_path: Some(...) }`.
- Extend the `Approvable` trait and `ApplyPatchRuntime` to work with
multiple keys, because an `apply_patch` tool call can modify multiple
files. For a request to be auto-approved, we will need to check that all
file paths have been approved previously.
- App-server v2: honor AcceptForSession for file changes
- File-change approval responses now map AcceptForSession to
ReviewDecision::ApprovedForSession (no longer downgraded to plain
Approved).
- Replace `ApprovalDecision` with two enums:
`CommandExecutionApprovalDecision` and `FileChangeApprovalDecision`
- TUI / TUI2: expose “don’t ask again for these files this session”
- Patch approval overlays now include a third option (“Yes, and don’t
ask again for these files this session (s)”).
    - Snapshot updates for the approval modal.

**Tests added/updated**
- Core:
- Integration test that proves ApprovedForSession on a patch skips the
next patch prompt for the same file
- App-server:
- v2 integration test verifying
FileChangeApprovalDecision::AcceptForSession works properly

**User-visible behavior**
- When the user approves a patch “for session”, future patches touching
only those previously approved file(s) will no longer prompt gain during
that session (both via app-server v2 and TUI/TUI2).

**Manual testing**
Tested both TUI and TUI2 - see screenshots below.

[app-server] fix config loading for conversations (#8765 )

Currently we don't load config properly for app server conversations.
see:
https://linear.app/openai/issue/CODEX-3956/config-flags-not-respected-in-codex-app-server.
This PR fixes that by respecting the config passed in.

Tested by running `cargo build -p codex-cli &&
RUST_LOG=codex_app_server=debug CODEX_BIN=target/debug/codex cargo run
-p codex-app-server-test-client -- \
--config
model_providers.mock_provider.base_url=\"http://localhost:4010/v2\" \
    --config model_provider=\"mock_provider\" \
    --config model_providers.mock_provider.name="hello" \
    send-message-v2 "hello"`
and verified that the mock_provider is called instead of default
provider.

fix: remove serde(flatten) annotation for TurnError (#7499 )

The problem with using `serde(flatten)` on Turn status is that it
conditionally serializes the `error` field, which is not the pattern we
want in API v2 where all fields on an object should always be returned.

```
#[derive(Serialize, Deserialize, Debug, Clone, PartialEq, JsonSchema, TS)]
#[serde(rename_all = "camelCase")]
#[ts(export_to = "v2/")]
pub struct Turn {
    pub id: String,
    /// Only populated on a `thread/resume` response.
    /// For all other responses and notifications returning a Turn,
    /// the items field will be an empty list.
    pub items: Vec<ThreadItem>,
    #[serde(flatten)]
    pub status: TurnStatus,
}

#[derive(Serialize, Deserialize, Debug, Clone, PartialEq, JsonSchema, TS)]
#[serde(tag = "status", rename_all = "camelCase")]
#[ts(tag = "status", export_to = "v2/")]
pub enum TurnStatus {
    Completed,
    Interrupted,
    Failed { error: TurnError },
    InProgress,
}
```

serializes to:
```
{
  "id": "turn-123",
  "items": [],
  "status": "completed"
}

{
  "id": "turn-123",
  "items": [],
  "status": "failed",
  "error": {
    "message": "Tool timeout",
    "codexErrorInfo": null
  }
}
```

Instead we want:
```
{
  "id": "turn-123",
  "items": [],
  "status": "completed",
  "error": null
}

{
  "id": "turn-123",
  "items": [],
  "status": "failed",
  "error": {
    "message": "Tool timeout",
    "codexErrorInfo": null
  }
}
```

[app-server] feat: v2 apply_patch approval flow (#6760 )

This PR adds the API V2 version of the apply_patch approval flow, which
centers around `ThreadItem::FileChange`.

This PR wires the new RPC (`item/fileChange/requestApproval`, V2 only)
and related events (`item/started`, `item/completed` for
`ThreadItem::FileChange`, which are emitted in both V1 and V2) through
the app-server
protocol. The new approval RPC is only sent when the user initiates a
turn with the new `turn/start` API so we don't break backwards
compatibility with VSCE.

Similar to https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/6758, the approach I
took was to make as few changes to the Codex core as possible,
leveraging existing `EventMsg` core events, and translating those in
app-server. I did have to add a few additional fields to
`EventMsg::PatchApplyBegin` and `EventMsg::PatchApplyEnd`, but those
were fairly lightweight.

However, the `EventMsg`s emitted by core are the following:
```
1) Auto-approved (no request for approval) 
- EventMsg::PatchApplyBegin
- EventMsg::PatchApplyEnd

2) Approved by user
- EventMsg::ApplyPatchApprovalRequest
- EventMsg::PatchApplyBegin
- EventMsg::PatchApplyEnd

3) Declined by user
- EventMsg::ApplyPatchApprovalRequest
- EventMsg::PatchApplyBegin
- EventMsg::PatchApplyEnd
```

For a request triggering an approval, this would result in:
```
item/fileChange/requestApproval
item/started
item/completed
```

which is different from the `ThreadItem::CommandExecution` flow
introduced in https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/6758, which does the
below and is preferable:
```
item/started
item/commandExecution/requestApproval
item/completed
```

To fix this, we leverage `TurnSummaryStore` on codex_message_processor
to store a little bit of state, allowing us to fire `item/started` and
`item/fileChange/requestApproval` whenever we receive the underlying
`EventMsg::ApplyPatchApprovalRequest`, and no-oping when we receive the
`EventMsg::PatchApplyBegin` later.

This is much less invasive than modifying the order of EventMsg within
core (I tried).

The resulting payloads:
```

  "params": {
    "item": {

[app-server] introduce turn/completed v2 event (#6800 )

similar to logic in
`codex/codex-rs/exec/src/event_processor_with_jsonl_output.rs`.
translation of v1 -> v2 events:
`codex/event/task_complete` -> `turn/completed`
`codex/event/turn_aborted` -> `turn/completed` with `interrupted` status
`codex/event/error` -> `turn/completed` with `error` status

this PR also makes `items` field in `Turn` optional. For now, we only
populate it when we resume a thread, and leave it as None for all other
places until we properly rewrite core to keep track of items.

tested using the codex app server client. example new event:
```
< {
<   "method": "turn/completed",
<   "params": {
<     "turn": {
<       "id": "0",
<       "items": [],
<       "status": "interrupted"
<     }
<   }
< }
```
