Owen Lin 27724f6ead feat(core, tracing): add a span representing a turn (#13424)
This is PR 3 of the app-server tracing rollout.

PRs https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/13285 and
https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/13368 gave us inbound request spans
in app-server and propagated trace context through Submission. This
change finishes the next piece in core: when a request actually starts a
turn, we now create a core-owned long-lived span that stays open for the
real lifetime of the turn.

What changed:
- `Session::spawn_task` can now optionally create a long-lived turn span
and run the spawned task inside it
- `turn/start` uses that path, so normal turn execution stays under a
single core-owned span after the async handoff
- `review/start` uses the same pattern
- added a unit test that verifies the spawned turn task inherits the
submission dispatch trace ancestry

**Why**
The app-server request span is intentionally short-lived. Once work
crosses into core, we still want one span that covers the actual
execution window until completion or interruption. This keeps that
ownership where it belongs: in the layer that owns the runtime
lifecycle.

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.

Network access and filesystem read/write roots are controlled by SandboxPolicy. Seatbelt consumes the resolved policy and enforces it.

Seatbelt also supports macOS permission-profile extensions layered on top of SandboxPolicy:

  • no extension profile provided: keeps legacy default preferences read access (user-preference-read).
  • extension profile provided with no macos_preferences grant: does not add preferences access clauses.
  • macos_preferences = "readonly": enables cfprefs read clauses and user-preference-read.
  • macos_preferences = "readwrite": includes readonly clauses plus user-preference-write and cfprefs shm write clauses.
  • macos_automation = true: enables broad Apple Events send permissions.
  • macos_automation = ["com.apple.Notes", ...]: enables Apple Events send only to listed bundle IDs.
  • macos_accessibility = true: enables com.apple.axserver mach lookup.
  • macos_calendar = true: enables com.apple.CalendarAgent mach lookup.

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.
