Charley Cunningham cab607befb Centralize context update diffing logic (#11807)
## Summary
This PR centralizes model-visible state diffing for turn context updates
into one module, while keeping existing behavior and call sites stable.

### What changed
- Added `core/src/context_updates.rs` with the consolidated diffing
logic for:
  - environment context updates
  - permissions/policy updates
  - collaboration mode updates
  - model-instruction switch updates
  - personality updates
- Added `BuildSettingsUpdateItemsParams` so required dependencies are
passed explicitly.
- Updated `Session::build_settings_update_items` in `core/src/codex.rs`
to delegate to the centralized module.
- Reused the same centralized `personality_message_for` helper from
initial-context assembly to avoid duplicated logic.
- Registered the new module in `core/src/lib.rs`.

## Why
This is a minimal, shippable step toward the model-visible-state design:
all state diff decisions for turn-context update items now live in one
place, improving reviewability and reducing drift risk without expanding
scope.

## Behavior
- Intended to be behavior-preserving.
- No protocol/schema changes.
- No call-site behavior changes beyond routing through the new
centralized logic.

## Testing
Ran targeted tests in this worktree:
- `cargo test -p codex-core
build_settings_update_items_emits_environment_item_for_network_changes`
- `cargo test -p codex-core collaboration_instructions --test all`

Both passed.

npm i -g @openai/codex
or brew install --cask codex

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

Install globally with your preferred package manager:

# 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.
