Subject: [PATCH] Track TUI starts by app server mode (#41974)

## What changed

Emit the `codex.tui.start` counter once per TUI launch with an
`app_server_mode` label of `in_process`, `local_daemon`, or `remote`. Recording
the metric during startup keeps reconnects from counting as additional
launches.
