pakrym-oai d1209bddfc core: add context window lineage IDs (#29256)
## Why

The rendered `<token_budget>` fragment identifies the thread and current
context window, but it does not expose enough lineage to identify the
first window in the thread or the immediately preceding window. Those
IDs also need to remain stable across compaction, resume, and rollback.

## What changed

- Track first, previous, and current UUIDv7 context-window IDs in
auto-compaction state.
- Render `thread_id`, `first_window_id`, `previous_window_id`, and the
current window ID in the full `<token_budget>` fragment.
- Persist the first and previous window IDs in compacted rollout
checkpoints and restore them during rollout reconstruction.
- Preserve compatibility with older compacted records that do not
contain the new optional fields.
- Update focused state, rendering, reconstruction, rollback, and
serialization coverage.

## Validation

- `just test -p codex-core token_budget`
- `just test -p codex-protocol compacted_item::tests`
- `just test -p codex-core tracks_prefill_and_window_boundaries`
- `just test -p codex-core
reconstruct_history_uses_replacement_history_verbatim`
- `just test -p codex-core
thread_rollback_restores_cleared_reference_context_item_after_compaction`

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.
