Eric Traut 8e69d29521 Reduce TUI legacy core dependencies (#26711)
## Why

The TUI still reached through `app-server-client::legacy_core` for
thread-name normalization and project-instruction filename details. In
particular, checking the TUI's local filesystem for `/init` is incorrect
for remote app-server sessions, where the server owns the working
directory and instruction discovery.

## What changed

- use the instruction source paths supplied by the app server to decide
whether `/init` should avoid overwriting project instructions
- keep the small thread-name normalization helper local to the TUI
- remove the now-unused instruction filename constants, utility module,
and other unused `legacy_core` re-exports
- make status helper tests independent of concrete instruction filenames

## Verification

- `just test -p codex-app-server-client`
- `just test -p codex-tui
slash_init_skips_when_project_instructions_are_loaded`
- `just test -p codex-tui` ran 2,799 tests; 2,797 passed and two
unrelated guardian feature-flag tests failed reproducibly in untouched
code

### Manual test

Started an app server over WebSocket with a remote workspace containing
`AGENTS.md`, then connected the TUI using `--remote`. After confirming
`thread/start` returned the file in `instructionSources`, deleted
`AGENTS.md` and ran `/init` in the existing session.

The TUI still reported that project instructions already existed and
skipped `/init`. The trace contained no `turn/start` request, confirming
the decision came from app-server session state rather than a new
client-local filesystem check.

Codex CLI is a coding agent from OpenAI that runs locally on your computer.

Codex CLI splash


If you want Codex in your code editor (VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf), install in your IDE.
If you want the desktop app experience, run codex app or visit the Codex App page.
If you are looking for the cloud-based agent from OpenAI, Codex Web, go to chatgpt.com/codex.


Quickstart

Installing and running Codex CLI

Run the following on Mac or Linux to install Codex CLI:

curl -fsSL https://chatgpt.com/codex/install.sh | sh

Run the following on Windows to install Codex CLI:

powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -c "irm https://chatgpt.com/codex/install.ps1 | iex"

Codex CLI can also be installed via the following package managers:

# Install using npm
npm install -g @openai/codex
# Install using Homebrew
brew install --cask codex

Then simply run codex to get started.

You can also go to the latest GitHub Release and download the appropriate binary for your platform.

Each GitHub Release contains many executables, but in practice, you likely want one of these:

  • macOS
    • Apple Silicon/arm64: codex-aarch64-apple-darwin.tar.gz
    • x86_64 (older Mac hardware): codex-x86_64-apple-darwin.tar.gz
  • Linux
    • x86_64: codex-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz
    • arm64: codex-aarch64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz

Each archive contains a single entry with the platform baked into the name (e.g., codex-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl), so you likely want to rename it to codex after extracting it.
