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`

fix: introduce AbsolutePathBuf as part of sandbox config (#7856 )

Changes the `writable_roots` field of the `WorkspaceWrite` variant of
the `SandboxPolicy` enum from `Vec<PathBuf>` to `Vec<AbsolutePathBuf>`.
This is helpful because now callers can be sure the value is an absolute
path rather than a relative one. (Though when using an absolute path in
a Seatbelt config policy, we still have to _canonicalize_ it first.)

Because `writable_roots` can be read from a config file, it is important
that we are able to resolve relative paths properly using the parent
folder of the config file as the base path.

Fix: gracefully error out for unsupported images (#7478 )

Fix for #7459 
## What
Since codex errors out for unsupported images, stop attempting to
base64/attach them and instead emit a clear placeholder when the file
isn’t a supported image MIME.

## Why
Local uploads for unsupported formats (e.g., SVG/GIF/etc.) were
dead-ending after decode failures because of the 400 retry loop. Users
now get an explicit “cannot attach … unsupported image format …”
response.

## How
Replace the fallback read/encode path with MIME detection that bails out
for non-image or unsupported image types, returning a consistent
placeholder. Unreadable and invalid images still produce their existing
error placeholders.

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.

Generate JSON schema for app-server protocol (#5063 )

Add annotations and an export script that let us generate app-server
protocol types as typescript and JSONSchema.

The script itself is a bit hacky because we need to manually label some
of the types. Unfortunately it seems that enum variants don't get good
names by default and end up with something like `EventMsg1`,
`EventMsg2`, etc. I'm not an expert in this by any means, but since this
is only run manually and we already need to enumerate the types required
to describe the protocol, it didn't seem that much worse. An ideal
solution here would be to have some kind of root that we could generate
schemas for in one go, but I'm not sure if that's compatible with how we
generate the protocol today.

fix: remove mcp-types from app server protocol (#4537 )

We continue the separation between `codex app-server` and `codex
mcp-server`.

In particular, we introduce a new crate, `codex-app-server-protocol`,
and migrate `codex-rs/protocol/src/mcp_protocol.rs` into it, renaming it
`codex-rs/app-server-protocol/src/protocol.rs`.

Because `ConversationId` was defined in `mcp_protocol.rs`, we move it
into its own file, `codex-rs/protocol/src/conversation_id.rs`, and
because it is referenced in a ton of places, we have to touch a lot of
files as part of this PR.

We also decide to get away from proper JSON-RPC 2.0 semantics, so we
also introduce `codex-rs/app-server-protocol/src/jsonrpc_lite.rs`, which
is basically the same `JSONRPCMessage` type defined in `mcp-types`
except with all of the `"jsonrpc": "2.0"` removed.

Getting rid of `"jsonrpc": "2.0"` makes our serialization logic
considerably simpler, as we can lean heavier on serde to serialize
directly into the wire format that we use now.

fix: use macros to ensure request/response symmetry (#4529 )

Manually curating `protocol-ts/src/lib.rs` was error-prone, as expected.
I finally asked Codex to write some Rust macros so we can ensure that:

- For every variant of `ClientRequest` and `ServerRequest`, there is an
associated `params` and `response` type.
- All response types are included automatically in the output of `codex
generate-ts`.

Adding the `rollout_path` to the `NewConversationResponse` makes it so a

Generate more typescript types and return conversation id with ConversationSummary (#3219 )

This PR does multiple things that are necessary for conversation resume
to work from the extension. I wanted to make sure everything worked so
these changes wound up in one PR:
1. Generate more ts types
2. Resume rollout history files rather than create a new one every time
it is resumed so you don't see a duplicate conversation in history for
every resume. Chatted with @aibrahim-oai to verify this
3. Return conversation_id in conversation summaries
4. [Cleanup] Use serde and strong types for a lot of the rollout file
parsing

Format large numbers in a more readable way. (#2046 )

- In the bottom line of the TUI, print the number of tokens to 3 sigfigs

- Elsewhere where we print a number, I figure it's worthwhile to print
  the exact number, because e.g. it's a summary of your session. Here we print
  the numbers comma-separated.

chore: move mcp-server/src/wire_format.rs to protocol/src/mcp_protocol.rs (#2423 )

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.
