## Why
`codex exec-server` should keep the existing public `ws://IP:PORT` URL
shape while serving that websocket connection through an HTTP upgrade
path internally. That keeps the client-facing configuration simple and
allows the listener to work through intermediate HTTP-aware
infrastructure.
## What changed
- keep the emitted and configured exec-server URL as `ws://IP:PORT`
- serve that websocket endpoint through Axum HTTP upgrade handling on
`/`
- expose `GET /readyz` from the same listener for readiness checks
- route upgraded Axum websocket streams through the shared JSON-RPC
connection machinery
- initialize the rustls crypto provider before websocket client
connections
- preserve inbound binary websocket JSON-RPC parsing for compatibility
with the prior transport behavior
## Verification
- `cargo test -p codex-exec-server --test health --test process --test
websocket --test initialize --test exec_process`
## Summary
- preserve a small fs-helper runtime env allowlist (`PATH`, temp vars)
instead of launching the sandboxed helper with an empty env
- add unit coverage for the allowlist and transformed sandbox request
env
- add a Linux smoke test that starts the test exec-server with a fake
`bwrap` on `PATH`, runs a sandboxed fs write through the remote fs
helper path, and asserts that bwrap path was exercised
## Validation
- `cd /tmp/codex-worktrees/fs-helper-env-defaults/codex-rs && export
PATH=$HOME/code/openai/project/dotslash-gen/bin:$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH
&& bazel test --bes_backend= --bes_results_url=
//codex-rs/exec-server:exec-server-file_system-test
--test_filter=sandboxed_file_system_helper_finds_bwrap_on_preserved_path`
- `cd /tmp/codex-worktrees/fs-helper-env-defaults/codex-rs && export
PATH=$HOME/code/openai/project/dotslash-gen/bin:$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH
&& bazel test --bes_backend= --bes_results_url=
//codex-rs/exec-server:exec-server-unit-tests
--test_filter="helper_env|sandbox_exec_request_carries_helper_env"`
- earlier on this branch before the smoke-test harness adjustment: `cd
/tmp/codex-worktrees/fs-helper-env-defaults/codex-rs && export
PATH=$HOME/code/openai/project/dotslash-gen/bin:$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH
&& bazel test --bes_backend= --bes_results_url=
//codex-rs/exec-server:all`

## Summary\n- add an exec-server package-local test helper binary that
can run exec-server and fs-helper flows\n- route exec-server filesystem
tests through that helper instead of cross-crate codex helper
binaries\n- stop relying on Bazel-only extra binary wiring for these
tests\n\n## Testing\n- not run (per repo guidance for codex changes)

Problem: After #17294 switched exec-server tests to launch the top-level
`codex exec-server` command, parallel remote exec-process cases can
flake while waiting for the child server's listen URL or transport
shutdown.
Solution: Serialize remote exec-server-backed process tests and harden
the harness so spawned servers are killed on drop and shutdown waits for
the child process to exit.
This introduces session-scoped ownership for exec-server so ws
disconnects no longer immediately kill running remote exec processes,
and it prepares the protocol for reconnect-based resume.
- add session_id / resume_session_id to the exec-server initialize
handshake
- move process ownership under a shared session registry
- detach sessions on websocket disconnect and expire them after a TTL
instead of killing processes immediately (we will resume based on this)
- allow a new connection to resume an existing session and take over
notifications/ownership
- I use UUID to make them not predictable as we don't have auth for now
- make detached-session expiry authoritative at resume time so teardown
wins at the TTL boundary
- reject long-poll process/read calls that get resumed out from under an
older attachment

For each feature we have:
1. Trait exposed on environment
2. **Local Implementation** of the trait
3. Remote implementation that uses the client to proxy via network
4. Handler implementation that handles PRC requests and calls into
**Local Implementation**
Summary
- delete the deprecated stdio transport plumbing from the exec server
stack
- add a basic `exec_server()` harness plus test utilities to start a
server, send requests, and await events
- refresh exec-server dependencies, configs, and documentation to
reflect the new flow
Testing
- Not run (not requested)
