## Summary
This is the AgentAssertion downstream slice for feature-gated agent
identity support, replacing the oversized AgentAssertion slice from PR
#17807.
It isolates task-scoped downstream AgentAssertion wiring on top of the
merged PR3.1 work without re-carrying the earlier agent registration,
task registration, or task-state history.
This PR includes the task-scoped bug-fix call sites from the review:
generic file upload auth, MCP OpenAI file upload auth, and ARC monitor
auth. Broader user/control-plane calls move to PR4.1 and PR4.2.
## Stack
- PR1: https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/17385 - add
`features.use_agent_identity`
- PR2: https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/17386 - register agent
identities when enabled
- PR3: https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/17387 - register agent tasks
when enabled
- PR3.1: https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/17978 - persist and
prewarm registered tasks per thread
- PR4: this PR - use task-scoped `AgentAssertion` downstream when
enabled
- PR4.1: https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/18094 - introduce
AuthManager-owned background/control-plane `AgentAssertion` auth
- PR4.2: https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/18260 - use background
task auth for additional backend/control-plane calls
## What Changed
- add AgentAssertion envelope generation in `codex-core`
- route downstream HTTP and websocket auth through AgentAssertion when
an agent task is present
- extend the model-provider auth provider so non-bearer authorization
schemes can be passed through cleanly
- make generic file uploads attach the full authorization header value
- make MCP OpenAI file uploads use the cached thread agent task
assertion when present
- make ARC monitor calls use the cached thread agent task assertion when
present
## Why
The original PR had drifted ancestry and showed a much larger diff than
the semantic change actually required. Restacking it onto PR3.1 keeps
the reviewable surface down to the downstream assertion slice.

## Summary
- persist registered agent tasks in the session state update stream so
the thread can reuse them
- prewarm task registration once identity registration succeeds, while
keeping startup failures best-effort
- isolate the session-side task lifecycle into a dedicated module so
AgentIdentityManager and RegisteredAgentTask do not leak across as many
core layers

## Summary
Stack PR3 for feature-gated agent identity support.
This PR adds per-thread agent task registration behind
`features.use_agent_identity`. Tasks are minted on the first real user
turn and cached in thread runtime state for later turns.
## Stack
- PR1: https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/17385 - add
`features.use_agent_identity`
- PR2: https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/17386 - register agent
identities when enabled
- PR3: https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/17387 - this PR, original
task registration slice
- PR3.1: https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/17978 - persist and
prewarm registered tasks per thread
- PR4: https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/17980 - use `AgentAssertion`
downstream when enabled
## Validation
Covered as part of the local stack validation pass:
- `just fmt`
- `cargo test -p codex-core --lib agent_identity`
- `cargo test -p codex-core --lib agent_assertion`
- `cargo test -p codex-core --lib websocket_agent_task`
- `cargo test -p codex-api api_bridge`
- `cargo build -p codex-cli --bin codex`
## Notes
The full local app-server E2E path is still being debugged after PR
creation. The current branch stack is directionally ready for review
while that follow-up continues.
