Owen Lin cf0911076f store and expose parent_thread_id on Threads (#25113 )

## Why

This PR
https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/24161#discussion_r3325692763
revealed a subagent data modeling issue, where we overloaded
`forked_from_id` to also mean `parent_thread_id`. That's incorrect since
guardian and review subagents can be a subagent and NOT fork the main
thread's history.

The solution here is to explicitly store a new `parent_thread_id` on
`SessionMeta`, alongside `forked_from_id` which already exists. While
we're at it, also expose it in the app-server protocol on the `Thread`
object.

A thread->subagent relationship and a fork of thread history are
orthogonal concepts.

## What Changed

- Added top-level `parent_thread_id` persistence on `SessionMeta` and
runtime/session plumbing through `SessionConfiguredEvent`,
`CodexSpawnArgs`, `SessionConfiguration`, `ThreadConfigSnapshot`,
`TurnContext`, and `ModelClient`.
- Made turn metadata, request headers, analytics, and subagent-start
events read the separate runtime/top-level parent field instead of
deriving general parent lineage from `SessionSource` or
`forked_from_thread_id`.
- Passed parent lineage separately at delegated subagent, review,
guardian, agent-job, and multi-agent spawn construction sites;
copied-history fork lineage remains derived only from `InitialHistory`.
- Persisted and exposed parent lineage through rollout/thread-store
projections and app-server v2 `Thread.parentThreadId`.
- Updated app-server README text and regenerated app-server schema
fixtures for the additive `parentThreadId` response field.

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.
