marksteinbrick-oai a71e040df5 [codex-analytics] add extensible feature thread sources (#27063)
## Why
- `ThreadSource` currently defines a closed set of core-owned values
- Product features also create threads for background or scheduled work
- Adding every product-specific value to the core enum would require
repeated `codex-rs` protocol changes
- Feature-backed values let product callers provide precise attribution
while preserving the existing core classifications

## What Changed
- Adds `ThreadSource::Feature(String)` for app-owned thread source
values
- Represents all app-server v2 thread sources as scalar strings, so a
feature source is supplied as `"automation"`
- Persists and emits the feature's plain string label, so `"automation"`
produces `thread_source="automation"` in analytics
- Keeps `user`, `subagent`, and `memory_consolidation` as explicit
core-owned values and regenerates the app-server schemas and TypeScript
bindings

## Verification
- `just write-app-server-schema`
- `cargo check --workspace`
- `just test -p codex-protocol
feature_thread_source_serializes_as_its_app_owned_label`
- `just test -p codex-app-server-protocol
thread_sources_round_trip_as_scalar_labels`
- `cargo test -p codex-analytics
thread_initialized_event_serializes_expected_shape`
- `just fmt`

Thread Store

codex-thread-store is the storage boundary for Codex threads. It defines the ThreadStore trait plus local and in-memory implementations. Other storage implementations may live outside this repository.

Responsibilities

  • ThreadStore::append_items is the raw canonical history append API. It does not infer metadata from item contents.
  • ThreadStore::update_thread_metadata is the only thread metadata write API. It accepts a single literal metadata patch shape, regardless of whether the caller is applying a user/API mutation or facts derived above the store from appended history.
  • LiveThread is the preferred API for active session persistence. It owns a per-thread metadata sync helper, applies the rollout persistence policy, appends canonical history, and then sends metadata patches through ThreadStore::update_thread_metadata.
  • ThreadManager routes metadata mutations for loaded and cold threads through one entrypoint. Loaded threads use their LiveThread; cold threads go directly to the store.
  • LocalThreadStore persists history through codex-rollout JSONL files and persists queryable metadata through the SQLite state database when available. Local explicit metadata mutations also maintain JSONL/name-index compatibility so reading old or SQLite-less local storage keeps working.
  • RolloutRecorder is the local JSONL writer. It writes already-canonical items for ThreadStore::append_items; it no longer decides metadata updates for live thread-store appends.
  • core/session creates or resumes LiveThread handles and does not need to know whether persistence is backed by local files or another store.

Direction

New metadata observation semantics should live above ThreadStore. Stores persist explicit metadata fields, but raw history appends remain history-only.
