• Suppress duplicate assistant output on stdout in interactive sessions (#13082)

  Addresses #12566
  
  Summary
  - stop printing the final assistant message on stdout when the process
  is running in a terminal so interactive users only see it once
  - add a helper that gates the stdout emission and cover it with unit
  tests

• Revert "Add skill approval event/response (#12633)" (#12811)

  This reverts commit https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/12633. We no
  longer need this PR, because we favor sending normal exec command
  approval server request with `additional_permissions` of skill
  permissions instead

• feat(app-server): add ThreadItem::DynamicToolCall (#12732)

  Previously, clients would call `thread/start` with dynamic_tools set,
  and when a model invokes a dynamic tool, it would just make the
  server->client `item/tool/call` request and wait for the client's
  response to complete the tool call. This works, but it doesn't have an
  `item/started` or `item/completed` event.
  
  Now we are doing this:
  - [new] emit `item/started` with `DynamicToolCall` populated with the
  call arguments
  - send an `item/tool/call` server request
  - [new] once the client responds, emit `item/completed` with
  `DynamicToolCall` populated with the response.
  
  Also, with `persistExtendedHistory: true`, dynamic tool calls are now
  reconstructable in `thread/read` and `thread/resume` as
  `ThreadItem::DynamicToolCall`.

• Agent jobs (spawn_agents_on_csv) + progress UI (#10935)

  ## Summary
  - Add agent job support: spawn a batch of sub-agents from CSV, auto-run,
  auto-export, and store results in SQLite.
  - Simplify workflow: remove run/resume/get-status/export tools; spawn is
  deterministic and completes in one call.
  - Improve exec UX: stable, single-line progress bar with ETA; suppress
  sub-agent chatter in exec.
  
  ## Why
  Enables map-reduce style workflows over arbitrarily large repos using
  the existing Codex orchestrator. This addresses review feedback about
  overly complex job controls and non-deterministic monitoring.
  
  ## Demo (progress bar)
  ```
  ./codex-rs/target/debug/codex exec \
    --enable collab \
    --enable sqlite \
    --full-auto \
    --progress-cursor \
    -c agents.max_threads=16 \
    -C /Users/daveaitel/code/codex \
    - <<'PROMPT'
  Create /tmp/agent_job_progress_demo.csv with columns: path,area and 30 rows:
  path = item-01..item-30, area = test.
  
  Then call spawn_agents_on_csv with:
  - csv_path: /tmp/agent_job_progress_demo.csv
  - instruction: "Run `python - <<'PY'` to sleep a random 0.3–1.2s, then output JSON with keys: path, score (int). Set score = 1."
  - output_csv_path: /tmp/agent_job_progress_demo_out.csv
  PROMPT
  ```
  
  ## Review feedback addressed
  - Auto-start jobs on spawn; removed run/resume/status/export tools.
  - Auto-export on success.
  - More descriptive tool spec + clearer prompts.
  - Avoid deadlocks on spawn failure; pending/running handled safely.
  - Progress bar no longer scrolls; stable single-line redraw.
  
  ## Tests
  - `cd codex-rs && cargo test -p codex-exec`
  - `cd codex-rs && cargo build -p codex-cli`

• chore: remove codex-core public protocol/shell re-exports (#12432)

  ## Why
  
  `codex-rs/core/src/lib.rs` re-exported a broad set of types and modules
  from `codex-protocol` and `codex-shell-command`. That made it easy for
  workspace crates to import those APIs through `codex-core`, which in
  turn hides dependency edges and makes it harder to reduce compile-time
  coupling over time.
  
  This change removes those public re-exports so call sites must import
  from the source crates directly. Even when a crate still depends on
  `codex-core` today, this makes dependency boundaries explicit and
  unblocks future work to drop `codex-core` dependencies where possible.
  
  ## What Changed
  
  - Removed public re-exports from `codex-rs/core/src/lib.rs` for:
  - `codex_protocol::protocol` and related protocol/model types (including
  `InitialHistory`)
    - `codex_protocol::config_types` (`protocol_config_types`)
  - `codex_shell_command::{bash, is_dangerous_command, is_safe_command,
  parse_command, powershell}`
  - Migrated workspace Rust call sites to import directly from:
    - `codex_protocol::protocol`
    - `codex_protocol::config_types`
    - `codex_protocol::models`
    - `codex_shell_command`
  - Added explicit `Cargo.toml` dependencies (`codex-protocol` /
  `codex-shell-command`) in crates that now import those crates directly.
  - Kept `codex-core` internal modules compiling by using `pub(crate)`
  aliases in `core/src/lib.rs` (internal-only, not part of the public
  API).
  - Updated the two utility crates that can already drop a `codex-core`
  dependency edge entirely:
    - `codex-utils-approval-presets`
    - `codex-utils-cli`
  
  ## Verification
  
  - `cargo test -p codex-utils-approval-presets`
  - `cargo test -p codex-utils-cli`
  - `cargo check --workspace --all-targets`
  - `just clippy`

• Wire realtime api to core (#12268)

  - Introduce `RealtimeConversationManager` for realtime API management 
  - Add `op::conversation` to start conversation, insert audio, insert
  text, and close conversation.
  - emit conversation lifecycle and realtime events.
  - Move shared realtime payload types into codex-protocol and add core
  e2e websocket tests for start/replace/transport-close paths.
  
  Things to consider:
  - Should we use the same `op::` and `Events` channel to carry audio? I
  think we should try this simple approach and later we can create
  separate one if the channels got congested.
  - Sending text updates to the client: we can start simple and later
  restrict that.
  - Provider auth isn't wired for now intentionally

• Feat: add model reroute notification (#12001)

  ### Summary
  Builiding off
  https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/11964/files/5c75aa7b89a70bc2cc410a6fd238749306ec4c5e#diff-058ae8f109a8b84b4b79bbfa45f522c2233b9d9e139696044ae374d50b6196e0,
  we have created a `model/rerouted` notification that captures the event
  so that consumers can render as expected. Keep the `EventMsg::Warning`
  path in core so that this does not affect TUI rendering.
  
  `model/rerouted` is meant to be generic to account for future usage
  including capacity planning etc.

• feat: split codex-common into smaller utils crates (#11422)

  We are removing feature-gated shared crates from the `codex-rs`
  workspace. `codex-common` grouped several unrelated utilities behind
  `[features]`, which made dependency boundaries harder to reason about
  and worked against the ongoing effort to eliminate feature flags from
  workspace crates.
  
  Splitting these utilities into dedicated crates under `utils/` aligns
  this area with existing workspace structure and keeps each dependency
  explicit at the crate boundary.
  
  ## What changed
  
  - Removed `codex-rs/common` (`codex-common`) from workspace members and
  workspace dependencies.
  - Added six new utility crates under `codex-rs/utils/`:
    - `codex-utils-cli`
    - `codex-utils-elapsed`
    - `codex-utils-sandbox-summary`
    - `codex-utils-approval-presets`
    - `codex-utils-oss`
    - `codex-utils-fuzzy-match`
  - Migrated the corresponding modules out of `codex-common` into these
  crates (with tests), and added matching `BUILD.bazel` targets.
  - Updated direct consumers to use the new crates instead of
  `codex-common`:
    - `codex-rs/cli`
    - `codex-rs/tui`
    - `codex-rs/exec`
    - `codex-rs/app-server`
    - `codex-rs/mcp-server`
    - `codex-rs/chatgpt`
    - `codex-rs/cloud-tasks`
  - Updated workspace lockfile entries to reflect the new dependency graph
  and removal of `codex-common`.

• chore: persist turn_id in rollout session and make turn_id uuid based (#11246)

  Problem:
  1. turn id is constructed in-memory;
  2. on resuming threads, turn_id might not be unique;
  3. client cannot no the boundary of a turn from rollout files easily.
  
  This PR does three things:
  1. persist `task_started` and `task_complete` events;
  1. persist `turn_id` in rollout turn events;
  5. generate turn_id as unique uuids instead of incrementing it in
  memory.
  
  This helps us resolve the issue of clients wanting to have unique turn
  ids for resuming a thread, and knowing the boundry of each turn in
  rollout files.
  
  example debug logs
  ```
  2026-02-11T00:32:10.746876Z DEBUG codex_app_server_protocol::protocol::thread_history: built turn from rollout items turn_index=8 turn=Turn { id: "019c4a07-d809-74c3-bc4b-fd9618487b4b", items: [UserMessage { id: "item-24", content: [Text { text: "hi", text_elements: [] }] }, AgentMessage { id: "item-25", text: "Hi. I’m in the workspace with your current changes loaded and ready. Send the next task and I’ll execute it end-to-end." }], status: Completed, error: None }
  2026-02-11T00:32:10.746888Z DEBUG codex_app_server_protocol::protocol::thread_history: built turn from rollout items turn_index=9 turn=Turn { id: "019c4a18-1004-76c0-a0fb-a77610f6a9b8", items: [UserMessage { id: "item-26", content: [Text { text: "hello", text_elements: [] }] }, AgentMessage { id: "item-27", text: "Hello. Ready for the next change in `codex-rs`; I can continue from the current in-progress diff or start a new task." }], status: Completed, error: None }
  2026-02-11T00:32:10.746899Z DEBUG codex_app_server_protocol::protocol::thread_history: built turn from rollout items turn_index=10 turn=Turn { id: "019c4a19-41f0-7db0-ad78-74f1503baeb8", items: [UserMessage { id: "item-28", content: [Text { text: "hello", text_elements: [] }] }, AgentMessage { id: "item-29", text: "Hello. Send the specific change you want in `codex-rs`, and I’ll implement it and run the required checks." }], status: Completed, error: None }
  ```
  
  backward compatibility:
  if you try to resume an old session without task_started and
  task_complete event populated, the following happens:
  - If you resume and do nothing: those reconstructed historical IDs can
  differ next time you resume.
  - If you resume and send a new turn: the new turn gets a fresh UUID from
  live submission flow and is persisted, so that new turn’s ID is stable
  on later resumes.
  I think this behavior is fine, because we only care about deterministic
  turn id once a turn is triggered.

• Handle exec shutdown on Interrupt (fixes immortal codex exec with websockets) (#10519)

  ### Motivation
  - Ensure `codex exec` exits when a running turn is interrupted (e.g.,
  Ctrl-C) so the CLI is not "immortal" when websockets/streaming are used.
  
  ### Description
  - Return `CodexStatus::InitiateShutdown` when handling
  `EventMsg::TurnAborted` in
  `exec/src/event_processor_with_human_output.rs` so human-output exec
  mode shuts down after an interrupt.
  - Treat `protocol::EventMsg::TurnAborted` as
  `CodexStatus::InitiateShutdown` in
  `exec/src/event_processor_with_jsonl_output.rs` so JSONL output mode
  behaves the same.
  - Applied formatting with `just fmt`.
  
  ### Testing
  - Ran `just fmt` successfully.
  - Ran `cargo test -p codex-exec`; many unit tests ran and the test
  command completed, but the full test run in this environment produced
  `35 passed, 11 failed` where the failures are due to Landlock sandbox
  panics and 403 responses in the test harness (environmental/integration
  issues) and are not caused by the interrupt/shutdown changes.

• feat: replace custom mcp-types crate with equivalents from rmcp (#10349)

  We started working with MCP in Codex before
  https://crates.io/crates/rmcp was mature, so we had our own crate for
  MCP types that was generated from the MCP schema:
  
  
  https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/8b95d3e082376f4cb23e92641705a22afb28a9da/codex-rs/mcp-types/README.md
  
  Now that `rmcp` is more mature, it makes more sense to use their MCP
  types in Rust, as they handle details (like the `_meta` field) that our
  custom version ignored. Though one advantage that our custom types had
  is that our generated types implemented `JsonSchema` and `ts_rs::TS`,
  whereas the types in `rmcp` do not. As such, part of the work of this PR
  is leveraging the adapters between `rmcp` types and the serializable
  types that are API for us (app server and MCP) introduced in #10356.
  
  Note this PR results in a number of changes to
  `codex-rs/app-server-protocol/schema`, which merit special attention
  during review. We must ensure that these changes are still
  backwards-compatible, which is possible because we have:
  
  ```diff
  - export type CallToolResult = { content: Array<ContentBlock>, isError?: boolean, structuredContent?: JsonValue, };
  + export type CallToolResult = { content: Array<JsonValue>, structuredContent?: JsonValue, isError?: boolean, _meta?: JsonValue, };
  ```
  
  so `ContentBlock` has been replaced with the more general `JsonValue`.
  Note that `ContentBlock` was defined as:
  
  ```typescript
  export type ContentBlock = TextContent | ImageContent | AudioContent | ResourceLink | EmbeddedResource;
  ```
  
  so the deletion of those individual variants should not be a cause of
  great concern.
  
  Similarly, we have the following change in
  `codex-rs/app-server-protocol/schema/typescript/Tool.ts`:
  
  ```
  - export type Tool = { annotations?: ToolAnnotations, description?: string, inputSchema: ToolInputSchema, name: string, outputSchema?: ToolOutputSchema, title?: string, };
  + export type Tool = { name: string, title?: string, description?: string, inputSchema: JsonValue, outputSchema?: JsonValue, annotations?: JsonValue, icons?: Array<JsonValue>, _meta?: JsonValue, };
  ```
  
  so:
  
  - `annotations?: ToolAnnotations` ➡️ `JsonValue`
  - `inputSchema: ToolInputSchema` ➡️ `JsonValue`
  - `outputSchema?: ToolOutputSchema` ➡️ `JsonValue`
  
  and two new fields: `icons?: Array<JsonValue>, _meta?: JsonValue`

• Plan mode: stream proposed plans, emit plan items, and render in TUI (#9786)

  ## Summary
  - Stream proposed plans in Plan Mode using `<proposed_plan>` tags parsed
  in core, emitting plan deltas plus a plan `ThreadItem`, while stripping
  tags from normal assistant output.
  - Persist plan items and rebuild them on resume so proposed plans show
  in thread history.
  - Wire plan items/deltas through app-server protocol v2 and render a
  dedicated proposed-plan view in the TUI, including the “Implement this
  plan?” prompt only when a plan item is present.
  
  ## Changes
  
  ### Core (`codex-rs/core`)
  - Added a generic, line-based tag parser that buffers each line until it
  can disprove a tag prefix; implements auto-close on `finish()` for
  unterminated tags. `codex-rs/core/src/tagged_block_parser.rs`
  - Refactored proposed plan parsing to wrap the generic parser.
  `codex-rs/core/src/proposed_plan_parser.rs`
  - In plan mode, stream assistant deltas as:
    - **Normal text** → `AgentMessageContentDelta`
    - **Plan text** → `PlanDelta` + `TurnItem::Plan` start/completion  
    (`codex-rs/core/src/codex.rs`)
  - Final plan item content is derived from the completed assistant
  message (authoritative), not necessarily the concatenated deltas.
  - Strips `<proposed_plan>` blocks from assistant text in plan mode so
  tags don’t appear in normal messages.
  (`codex-rs/core/src/stream_events_utils.rs`)
  - Persist `ItemCompleted` events only for plan items for rollout replay.
  (`codex-rs/core/src/rollout/policy.rs`)
  - Guard `update_plan` tool in Plan Mode with a clear error message.
  (`codex-rs/core/src/tools/handlers/plan.rs`)
  - Updated Plan Mode prompt to:  
    - keep `<proposed_plan>` out of non-final reasoning/preambles  
    - require exact tag formatting  
    - allow only one `<proposed_plan>` block per turn  
    (`codex-rs/core/templates/collaboration_mode/plan.md`)
  
  ### Protocol / App-server protocol
  - Added `TurnItem::Plan` and `PlanDeltaEvent` to core protocol items.
  (`codex-rs/protocol/src/items.rs`, `codex-rs/protocol/src/protocol.rs`)
  - Added v2 `ThreadItem::Plan` and `PlanDeltaNotification` with
  EXPERIMENTAL markers and note that deltas may not match the final plan
  item. (`codex-rs/app-server-protocol/src/protocol/v2.rs`)
  - Added plan delta route in app-server protocol common mapping.
  (`codex-rs/app-server-protocol/src/protocol/common.rs`)
  - Rebuild plan items from persisted `ItemCompleted` events on resume.
  (`codex-rs/app-server-protocol/src/protocol/thread_history.rs`)
  
  ### App-server
  - Forward plan deltas to v2 clients and map core plan items to v2 plan
  items. (`codex-rs/app-server/src/bespoke_event_handling.rs`,
  `codex-rs/app-server/src/codex_message_processor.rs`)
  - Added v2 plan item tests.
  (`codex-rs/app-server/tests/suite/v2/plan_item.rs`)
  
  ### TUI
  - Added a dedicated proposed plan history cell with special background
  and padding, and moved “• Proposed Plan” outside the highlighted block.
  (`codex-rs/tui/src/history_cell.rs`, `codex-rs/tui/src/style.rs`)
  - Only show “Implement this plan?” when a plan item exists.
  (`codex-rs/tui/src/chatwidget.rs`,
  `codex-rs/tui/src/chatwidget/tests.rs`)
  
  <img width="831" height="847" alt="Screenshot 2026-01-29 at 7 06 24 PM"
  src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/69794c8c-f96b-4d36-92ef-c1f5c3a8f286"
  />
  
  ### Docs / Misc
  - Updated protocol docs to mention plan deltas.
  (`codex-rs/docs/protocol_v1.md`)
  - Minor plumbing updates in exec/debug clients to tolerate plan deltas.
  (`codex-rs/debug-client/src/reader.rs`, `codex-rs/exec/...`)
  
  ## Tests
  - Added core integration tests:
    - Plan mode strips plan from agent messages.
    - Missing `</proposed_plan>` closes at end-of-message.  
    (`codex-rs/core/tests/suite/items.rs`)
  - Added unit tests for generic tag parser (prefix buffering, non-tag
  lines, auto-close). (`codex-rs/core/src/tagged_block_parser.rs`)
  - Existing app-server plan item tests in v2.
  (`codex-rs/app-server/tests/suite/v2/plan_item.rs`)
  
  ## Notes / Behavior
  - Plan output no longer appears in standard assistant text in Plan Mode;
  it streams via `PlanDelta` and completes as a `TurnItem::Plan`.
  - The final plan item content is authoritative and may diverge from
  streamed deltas (documented as experimental).
  - Reasoning summaries are not filtered; prompt instructs the model not
  to include `<proposed_plan>` outside the final plan message.

• feat: dynamic tools injection (#9539)

  ## Summary
  Add dynamic tool injection to thread startup in API v2, wire dynamic
  tool calls through the app server to clients, and plumb responses back
  into the model tool pipeline.
  
  ### Flow (high level)
  - Thread start injects `dynamic_tools` into the model tool list for that
  thread (validation is done here).
  - When the model emits a tool call for one of those names, core raises a
  `DynamicToolCallRequest` event.
  - The app server forwards it to the client as `item/tool/call`, waits
  for the client’s response, then submits a `DynamicToolResponse` back to
  core.
  - Core turns that into a `function_call_output` in the next model
  request so the model can continue.
  
  ### What changed
  - Added dynamic tool specs to v2 thread start params and protocol types;
  introduced `item/tool/call` (request/response) for dynamic tool
  execution.
  - Core now registers dynamic tool specs at request time and routes those
  calls via a new dynamic tool handler.
  - App server validates tool names/schemas, forwards dynamic tool call
  requests to clients, and publishes tool outputs back into the session.
  - Integration tests

  1aed01e99f
• feat(app-server): thread/rollback API (#8454)

  Add `thread/rollback` to app-server to support IDEs undo-ing the last N
  turns of a thread.
  
  For context, an IDE partner will be supporting an "undo" capability
  where the IDE (the app-server client) will be responsible for reverting
  the local changes made during the last turn. To support this well, we
  also need a way to drop the last turn (or more generally, the last N
  turns) from the agent's context. This is what `thread/rollback` does.
  
  **Core idea**: A Thread rollback is represented as a persisted event
  message (EventMsg::ThreadRollback) in the rollout JSONL file, not by
  rewriting history. On resume, both the model's context (core replay) and
  the UI turn list (app-server v2's thread history builder) apply these
  markers so the pruned history is consistent across live conversations
  and `thread/resume`.
  
  Implementation notes:
  - Rollback only affects agent context and appends to the rollout file;
  clients are responsible for reverting files on disk.
  - If a thread rollback is currently in progress, subsequent
  `thread/rollback` calls are rejected.
  - Because we use `CodexConversation::submit` and codex core tracks
  active turns, returning an error on concurrent rollbacks is communicated
  via an `EventMsg::Error` with a new variant
  `CodexErrorInfo::ThreadRollbackFailed`. app-server watches for that and
  sends the BAD_REQUEST RPC response.
  
  Tests cover thread rollbacks in both core and app-server, including when
  `num_turns` > existing turns (which clears all turns).
  
  **Note**: this explicitly does **not** behave like `/undo` which we just
  removed from the CLI, which does the opposite of what `thread/rollback`
  does. `/undo` reverts local changes via ghost commits/snapshots and does
  not modify the agent's context / conversation history.

• [chore] add additional_details to StreamErrorEvent + wire through (#8307)

  ### What
  
  Builds on #8293.
  
  Add `additional_details`, which contains the upstream error message, to
  relevant structures used to pass along retryable `StreamError`s.
  
  Uses the new TUI status indicator's `details` field (shows under the
  status header) to display the `additional_details` error to the user on
  retryable `Reconnecting...` errors. This adds clarity for users for
  retryable errors.
  
  Will make corresponding change to VSCode extension to show
  `additional_details` as expandable from the `Reconnecting...` cell.
  
  Examples:

• Add public skills + improve repo skill discovery and error UX (#8098)

  1. Adds SkillScope::Public end-to-end (core + protocol) and loads skills
  from the public cache directory
  2. Improves repo skill discovery by searching upward for the nearest
  .codex/skills within a git repo
  3. Deduplicates skills by name with deterministic ordering to avoid
  duplicates across sources
  4. Fixes garbled “Skill errors” overlay rendering by preventing pending
  history lines from being injected during the modal
  5. Updates the project docs “Skills” intro wording to avoid hardcoded
  paths

  1. Move skill discovery/caching into SkillsManager and reuse it across
  sessions.
  2. Add the skills/list API (Op::ListSkills/SkillsListResponse) to fetch

  3. Trigger skills/list during session startup so UIs preload skills and
  handle errors immediately.

  codex-auto-balanced when available) so sessions now carry an explicit
  chosen model separate from the base config.
  - Resolve `model` once in `core` and `tui` from config. Then store the
  state of it on other structs.
  - Move refreshing models to be before resolving the default model

• [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:

• fix: add more fields to ThreadStartResponse and ThreadResumeResponse (#6847)

  This adds the following fields to `ThreadStartResponse` and
  `ThreadResumeResponse`:
  
  ```rust
      pub model: String,
      pub model_provider: String,
      pub cwd: PathBuf,
      pub approval_policy: AskForApproval,
      pub sandbox: SandboxPolicy,
      pub reasoning_effort: Option<ReasoningEffort>,
  ```
  
  This is important because these fields are optional in
  `ThreadStartParams` and `ThreadResumeParams`, so the caller needs to be
  able to determine what values were ultimately used to start/resume the
  conversation. (Though note that any of these could be changed later
  between turns in the conversation.)
  
  Though to get this information reliably, it must be read from the
  internal `SessionConfiguredEvent` that is created in response to the
  start of a conversation. Because `SessionConfiguredEvent` (as defined in
  `codex-rs/protocol/src/protocol.rs`) did not have all of these fields, a
  number of them had to be added as part of this PR.
  
  Because `SessionConfiguredEvent` is referenced in many tests, test
  instances of `SessionConfiguredEvent` had to be updated, as well, which
  is why this PR touches so many files.

  This PR introduces the ability for `core` to send `warnings` as it can
  send `errors. It also sends a warning on compaction.

  Adds a new ItemStarted event and delivers UserMessage as the first item
