Owen Lin fc0fd85349 fix(app-server, core): defer initial context write to rollout file until first turn (#9950)
### Overview
Currently calling `thread/resume` will always bump the thread's
`updated_at` timestamp. This PR makes it the `updated_at` timestamp
changes only if a turn is triggered.

### Additonal context
What we typically do on resuming a thread is **always** writing “initial
context” to the rollout file immediately. This initial context includes:
- Developer instructions derived from sandbox/approval policy + cwd
- Optional developer instructions (if provided)
- Optional collaboration-mode instructions
- Optional user instructions (if provided)
- Environment context (cwd, shell, etc.)

This PR defers writing the “initial context” to the rollout file until
the first `turn/start`, so we don't inadvertently bump the thread's
`updated_at` timestamp until a turn is actually triggered.

This works even though both `thread/resume` and `turn/start` accept
overrides (such as `model`, `cwd`, etc.) because the initial context is
seeded from the effective `TurnContext` in memory, computed at
`turn/start` time, after both sets of overrides have been applied.

**NOTE**: This is a very short-lived solution until we introduce sqlite.
Then we can remove this.

codex-core

This crate implements the business logic for Codex. It is designed to be used by the various Codex UIs written in Rust.

Dependencies

Note that codex-core makes some assumptions about certain helper utilities being available in the environment. Currently, this support matrix is:

macOS

Expects /usr/bin/sandbox-exec to be present.

When using the workspace-write sandbox policy, the Seatbelt profile allows writes under the configured writable roots while keeping .git (directory or pointer file), the resolved gitdir: target, and .codex read-only.

Linux

Expects the binary containing codex-core to run the equivalent of codex sandbox linux (legacy alias: codex debug landlock) when arg0 is codex-linux-sandbox. See the codex-arg0 crate for details.

All Platforms

Expects the binary containing codex-core to simulate the virtual apply_patch CLI when arg1 is --codex-run-as-apply-patch. See the codex-arg0 crate for details.
