Ben Romano 88f1cd9664 Flush analytics before in-process app server shutdown (#34831)
## Why

The in-process app server can shut down while analytics for a completed turn are
still queued, preventing the completed-turn and accepted-line events from being
delivered.

## What changed

- Add a bounded analytics queue flush that waits for all preceding facts to be
  processed.
- Flush analytics after the in-process runtime drains its outbound work and
  before acknowledging shutdown.
- Extend the in-process shutdown timeout budgets to cover runtime draining and
  the best-effort analytics flush.

## Testing

- Verify that the flush waits for preceding facts and is a no-op when analytics
  is disabled.
- Verify that shutdown waits for delayed analytics delivery, including the
  completed-turn and accepted-line events produced by a file change.

codex-app-server-client

Shared in-process app-server client used by conversational CLI surfaces:

  • codex-exec
  • codex-tui

Purpose

This crate centralizes startup and lifecycle management for an in-process codex-app-server runtime, so CLI clients do not need to duplicate:

  • app-server bootstrap and initialize handshake
  • in-memory request/event transport wiring
  • lifecycle orchestration around caller-provided startup identity
  • graceful shutdown behavior

Startup identity

Callers pass both the app-server SessionSource and the initialize client_info.name explicitly when starting the facade.

That keeps thread metadata (for example in thread/list and thread/read) aligned with the originating runtime without baking TUI/exec-specific policy into the shared client layer.

Transport model

The in-process path uses typed channels:

  • client -> server: ClientRequest / ClientNotification
  • server -> client: InProcessServerEvent
    • ServerRequest
    • ServerNotification
    • LegacyNotification

JSON serialization is still used at external transport boundaries (stdio/websocket), but the in-process hot path is typed.

Typed requests still receive app-server responses through the JSON-RPC result envelope internally. That is intentional: the in-process path is meant to preserve app-server semantics while removing the process boundary, not to introduce a second response contract.

Bootstrap behavior

The client facade starts an already-initialized in-process runtime, but thread bootstrap still follows normal app-server flow:

  • caller sends thread/start or thread/resume
  • app-server returns the immediate typed response
  • richer session metadata may arrive later as a SessionConfigured legacy event

Surfaces such as TUI and exec may therefore need a short bootstrap phase where they reconcile startup response data with later events.

Backpressure and shutdown

  • Queues are bounded and use DEFAULT_IN_PROCESS_CHANNEL_CAPACITY by default.
  • Full queues return explicit overload behavior instead of unbounded growth.
  • shutdown() performs a bounded graceful shutdown and then aborts if timeout is exceeded.

If the client falls behind on event consumption, the worker emits InProcessServerEvent::Lagged and may reject pending server requests so approval flows do not hang indefinitely behind a saturated queue.
