ben zhang e05028e7b0 Prefetch sibling rollout paths when reading history pages (#55396)
## Why

Resolving a history page's rollout lineage performs a separate filesystem lookup for each ancestor. Ancestors stored alongside the current rollout can share a lookup traversal.

## What changed

- Prefetch paths for up to 64 sibling rollout IDs belonging to the same thread when listing history turns or items.
- Resolve candidates in the normal lookup order to preserve first-match selection for duplicate rollout IDs.
- Validate prefetched paths before use and fall back to normal lookup for missing or stale paths. Treat prefetch failures as optional and continue with normal resolution.

## Testing

Add a regression test verifying that sibling prefetch selects the same first match for a duplicate rollout ID as normal lookup.

Thread Store

codex-thread-store is the storage boundary for Codex threads. It defines the ThreadStore trait plus local and in-memory implementations. Other storage implementations may live outside this repository.

Responsibilities

  • ThreadStore::append_items is the raw canonical history append API. It does not infer metadata from item contents.
  • ThreadStore::update_thread_metadata is the only thread metadata write API. It accepts a single literal metadata patch shape, regardless of whether the caller is applying a user/API mutation or facts derived above the store from appended history.
  • LiveThread is the preferred API for active session persistence. It owns a per-thread metadata sync helper, applies the rollout persistence policy, appends canonical history, and then sends metadata patches through ThreadStore::update_thread_metadata.
  • ThreadManager routes metadata mutations for loaded and cold threads through one entrypoint. Loaded threads use their LiveThread; cold threads go directly to the store.
  • LocalThreadStore persists history through codex-rollout JSONL files and persists queryable metadata through the SQLite state database when available. Local explicit metadata mutations also maintain JSONL/name-index compatibility so reading old or SQLite-less local storage keeps working.
  • RolloutRecorder is the local JSONL writer. It writes already-canonical items for ThreadStore::append_items; it no longer decides metadata updates for live thread-store appends.
  • core/session creates or resumes LiveThread handles and does not need to know whether persistence is backed by local files or another store.

Direction

New metadata observation semantics should live above ThreadStore. Stores persist explicit metadata fields, but raw history appends remain history-only.
