## Summary
When network requests were blocked, downstream code often had to infer
ask vs deny from free-form response text. That was brittle and led to
incorrect approval behavior.
This PR fixes the proxy side so blocked decisions are structured and
request metadata survives reliably.
## Description
- Blocked proxy responses now carry consistent structured policy
decision data.
- Request attempt metadata is preserved across proxy env paths
(including ALL_PROXY flows).
- Header stripping was tightened so we still remove unsafe forwarding
headers, but keep metadata needed for policy handling.
- Block messages were clarified (for example, allowlist miss vs explicit
deny).
- Added unified violation log entries so policy failures can be
inspected in one place.
- Added/updated tests for these behaviors.

### Summary
- Adds an optional SOCKS5 listener via `rama-socks5`
- SOCKS5 is disabled by default and gated by config
- Reuses existing policy enforcement and blocked-request recording
- Blocks SOCKS5 in limited mode to prevent method-policy bypass
- Applies bind clamping to the SOCKS5 listener
### Config
New/used fields under `network_proxy`:
- `enable_socks5`
- `socks_url`
- `enable_socks5_udp`
### Scope
- Changes limited to `codex-rs/network-proxy` (+ `codex-rs/Cargo.lock`)
### Testing
```bash
cd codex-rs
just fmt
cargo test -p codex-network-proxy --offline
This add a new crate, `codex-network-proxy`, a local network proxy
service used by Codex to enforce fine-grained network policy (domain
allow/deny) and to surface blocked network events for interactive
approvals.
- New crate: `codex-rs/network-proxy/` (`codex-network-proxy` binary +
library)
- Core capabilities:
- HTTP proxy support (including CONNECT tunneling)
- SOCKS5 proxy support (in the later PR)
- policy evaluation (allowed/denied domain lists; denylist wins;
wildcard support)
- small admin API for polling/reload/mode changes
- optional MITM support for HTTPS CONNECT to enforce “limited mode”
method restrictions (later PR)
Will follow up integration with codex in subsequent PRs.
## Testing
- `cd codex-rs && cargo build -p codex-network-proxy`
- `cd codex-rs && cargo run -p codex-network-proxy -- proxy`
