## What changed
- Read optional tool descriptions and parameter schemas for `history`, `notes`, `new_context`, and `get_context_remaining` from the acting model's catalog messages.
- Support catalog namespace descriptions for history and notes, preserving explicit empty and whitespace descriptions.
- Share catalog override handling across native tools and MCP resource helpers. Keep bundled schemas when overrides are invalid, preserve encrypted parameters, and leave tool identity and transport fields unchanged.
## Testing
Add coverage for sparse catalog serialization, schema fallback and encryption preservation, per-step tool definitions, and context tool updates when switching models. Extend outgoing-request tests to verify history and notes overrides while retaining history image attachments.

## Why
History notes and image generation requests used default HTTP clients that did not carry the configured application network policy.
## What changed
Pass `Config::http_client_factory()` into both extension backends and create transports with `ClientRouteClass::Api`, so their requests honor application network restrictions and configured proxy behavior.
## Testing
Add regression coverage verifying that denied image requests never reach the server and that history notes context requests stop after the network policy becomes restrictive. Retain coverage for image file access restrictions.

## What changed
- Emit a `codex_thread_hint_status` analytics event for each native history-notes thread hint attempt.
- Report whether retrieval was successful or failed along with thread context and timing, without including hint contents.
- Treat valid empty responses as successful retrievals while continuing to omit them from the context window.
## Testing
- Extend the app-server history-notes tests to verify success, empty-result success, and backend failure statuses.

## What changed
- Convert history backend `images` into `input_image` function-call output items alongside encrypted or plaintext history content.
- Keep image data out of logged output and post-tool-use hook responses.
- Reject malformed image attachments instead of silently dropping them.
## Testing
- Cover encrypted and plaintext outputs, supported image detail values, malformed attachments, and propagation into the next model request.

## Why
Token-budget sessions need a way to recover prior conversation context and preserve working state across context-window transitions.
## What changed
- Add direct-model `history` tools for listing windows and items, reading items, and searching conversation contents.
- Add direct-model `notes` tools for listing, reading, searching, appending, and writing persistent notes.
- Route tool calls through the configured Codex backend with trusted session and agent context, bounded request arguments, and truncation-aware output handling.
- Expose the extension when `features.token_budget.use_history_notes_history` is enabled with an OpenAI provider and Codex backend authentication.
## Testing
- Cover tool registration, configuration changes, provider and authentication requirements, backend request context, encrypted output preservation, and request and response limits.
