## Description
This PR adds an optional `metadata` field to `ResponseItem` for
Responses API calls. Only mechanical plumbing, no actual values
populated and sent yet. Turns out just adding a new field to
`ResponseItem` has quite a large blast radius already.
This change is backwards compatible because `metadata` is optional and
omitted when absent, so existing response items and rollout history
without it still deserialize and requests that do not set it keep the
same wire shape. For provider compatibility, we strip out `metadata`
before non-OpenAI Responses requests so Azure and AWS Bedrock never see
this field.
My followup PR here will actually make use of it to start storing and
passing along `turn_id`: https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/28360
## What changed
- Added `ResponseItemMetadata` with optional `turn_id`, plus optional
`metadata` on Responses API item variants and inter-agent communication.
- Preserved item metadata through response-item rewrites such as
truncation, missing tool-output synthesis, compaction history
rebuilding, visible-history conversion, rollout/resume, and generated
app-server schemas/types.
- Strip item metadata from non-OpenAI Responses requests while
preserving it for OpenAI-shaped requests.
- Updated the mechanical fixture/test construction churn required by the
new optional field.
## Summary
Adds complete client-side image preparation behind the default-off
`resize_all_images` feature flag.
When enabled, local image producers defer decoding and resizing. Images
are prepared centrally before insertion into conversation history,
covering user input, `view_image`, and structured tool-output images.
## Behavior
- Processes base64 `data:` images in messages and function/custom tool
outputs.
- Leaves non-data URLs, including HTTP(S) URLs, unchanged.
- Applies image-detail budgets:
- `high` and omitted: 2048px maximum dimension and 2.5K 32px patches.
- `original`: 6000px maximum dimension and 10K 32px patches.
- `auto`: uses the same 2048px / 2.5K-patch budget as high.
- `low`: unsupported and replaced with an actionable placeholder.
- Preserves original image bytes when no resize or format conversion is
needed.
- Enforces the shared 1 GiB encoded and decoded data-URL sanity limits.
- Replaces only an image that fails preparation, preserving sibling
content and tool-output metadata.
- Uses bounded placeholders distinguishing generic processing failures,
oversized images, and unsupported `low` detail.
- Prepares resumed and forked history before installing it as live
history without modifying persisted rollouts.
## Flag-Off Behavior
When `resize_all_images` is disabled:
- Existing local user-input and `view_image` processing remains
unchanged.
- Existing decoding and error behavior remains unchanged.
- Arbitrary tool-output images are not processed.
- HTTP(S) image URLs continue to be forwarded unchanged.
