## Why
Inter-agent messages are recorded in live history as
`ResponseItem::AgentMessage`, but rollouts stored
`InterAgentCommunication` and rebuilt the response item during resume.
This made the rollout differ from the actual Responses history.
## What changed
- store the prepared `agent_message` response item directly
- keep `trigger_turn` in a small local metadata record for fork
truncation
- keep reading older `inter_agent_communication` rollout items
## Why
Multi-agent v2 `send_message` deliveries already reach the receiving
model as typed `agent_message` items with encrypted content.
Child-completion notifications are generated by Codex itself, so their
content is plaintext and previously fell back to a serialized JSON
envelope inside an assistant message.
With plaintext `input_text` supported for `agent_message`, both delivery
paths can use the same model-visible type while preserving explicit
author and recipient metadata.
## What changed
- add plaintext `input_text` support to `AgentMessageInputContent` and
regenerate the affected app-server schemas
- preserve `InterAgentCommunication` as structured mailbox input instead
of converting it to assistant text
- record delivered communications as typed `agent_message` history items
- persist a dedicated rollout item so local delivery metadata such as
`trigger_turn` remains available without leaking into the Responses
request
- reconstruct typed agent messages on resume and preserve fork-turn
truncation behavior
- remove request-time assistant-content parsing
- preserve plaintext and encrypted inter-agent deliveries in stage-one
memory inputs
- normalize and link plaintext and encrypted agent messages in rollout
traces without treating inbound messages as child results
- cover the real MultiAgent V2 child-completion path end to end with
deterministic mailbox synchronization

## Why
`thread/search` found content inside compressed rollouts but could drop
the result when joining it with SQLite-backed thread metadata. Search
returned the physical `.jsonl.zst` path while SQLite retained the
logical `.jsonl` path, so exact path matching failed.
## What changed
- Key rollout search matches by their canonical logical `.jsonl` path,
independent of the on-disk representation.
- Canonicalize thread-list paths before joining them with content-search
matches.
- Update compressed-rollout coverage to assert the logical-path
contract.
## Validation
- Ran `just fmt`.
- Ran `git diff --check`.
- Tests and Clippy were intentionally left to CI.
## Summary
- teach rollout search to return precomputed snippets for compressed
rollouts
- reuse those snippets in local thread search instead of reopening
matching compressed files
- keep the no-`rg` fallback single-pass and add regression coverage for
the compressed path
## Why
`thread/search` currently decodes matching compressed rollouts twice:
once to discover the matching path and again to extract the snippet
shown in results. That defeats a meaningful part of the compressed-read
optimization work.
## Impact
Compressed rollout hits now pay one decode pass on the search path while
plain `.jsonl` hits keep the existing ripgrep-driven flow.
## Validation
- `just test -p codex-rollout`
- `just test -p codex-thread-store`
- `just fix -p codex-rollout`
- `just fix -p codex-thread-store`
- `just fmt`
## Why
Local rollout compression needs a cold `.jsonl.zst` representation
without letting compressed physical paths leak into append-mode writers.
The unsafe case is resume or metadata update code successfully reading a
compressed rollout and then appending raw JSONL bytes to the zstd file.
This PR folds the former #25088 materialization slice into the
read-support PR so the reader changes and append-safety invariant land
together.
## What Changed
- Teach rollout readers, discovery, listing, search, and ID lookup to
understand compressed `.jsonl.zst` rollouts.
- Keep `.jsonl` as the logical/stored rollout path while allowing read
paths to open either plain or compressed storage.
- Materialize compressed rollouts back to plain `.jsonl` before
append-mode writes, including resume and direct metadata append paths.
- Preserve compressed-file permissions when materializing back to plain
JSONL.
- Refresh thread-store resolved rollout paths after compatibility
metadata writes so reconciliation follows the materialized file.
- Avoid treating transient compression temp files as real rollout lookup
results.
## Remaining Stack
#25089 remains the separate worker PR. It is based directly on this PR
and stays behind the disabled `local_thread_store_compression` feature
flag.
The worker still has a broader coordination question: a resume or
metadata update can race with background compression while a plain file
is being replaced by `.jsonl.zst`. This PR handles the read and
materialize-before-append primitives; it does not make the worker
production-ready.
## Validation
- `just test -p codex-rollout`

- `just fix -p codex-rollout`
- `just fix -p codex-thread-store`
- `just bazel-lock-check`
## Summary
- make rollout content search prefilter rollout files case-insensitively
- keep the no-ripgrep fallback scan and visible snippet matcher aligned
with that behavior
- cover a lowercase `thread/search` query matching mixed-case
conversation content
## Why
The rollout-backed `thread/search` path used exact string matching in
both its `rg` prefilter and semantic snippet generation. A content
result could be missed solely because the query casing did not match the
stored conversation text.
## Validation
- `just fmt`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server thread_search_returns_content_matches`
- `cargo test -p codex-rollout`
- `just bazel-lock-update`
- `just bazel-lock-check`
- `cargo build -p codex-cli`
- launched a local Electron dev instance with the rebuilt CLI binary
## Summary
- add experimental `thread/search` for local rollout-backed thread
search using `rg` over JSONL rollouts
- return search-specific result rows with optional previews instead of
storing preview data on `StoredThread` or ordinary `Thread` responses
- keep `thread/list` separate from full-content search and document the
new app-server surface
## Testing
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server-protocol`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server
thread_search_returns_content_and_title_matches -- --nocapture`
