Owen Lin 2342b2c2a6 feat(rollout): persist TurnItems for paginated thread rollouts (#30188)
## Description

This PR makes new threads with `history_mode = "paginated"` persist
`ItemCompleted(item: <turn_item>)` in their rollout JSONL file.

Legacy threads keep persisting the existing legacy events. Because the
format is selected per thread, a rollout is either legacy or paginated;
we do not need to support mixed rollouts containing both
representations.

This PR depends on [#31473](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/31473).

## Why

Paginated thread history needs stable turn/item IDs and completed item
snapshots so the later SQLite projector can materialize appended rollout
JSONL without rebuilding the whole thread.

Keeping the legacy persistence policy unchanged avoids changing
historical rollouts or the readers that still consume them.

## What changed

- Made rollout filtering history-mode aware. Paginated threads keep
completed canonical `ItemCompleted` events and drop their redundant
legacy projections; legacy threads keep the existing event set.
- Made forks inherit the source thread history mode, so copied legacy
history is never filtered as paginated.
- Made paginated threads assign IDs to locally-created response items
even when `Feature::ItemIds` is off, and reject streamed output items
that arrive without server IDs.
- Updated legacy turn replay, rollout list/search, and SQLite metadata
extraction to understand completed canonical user-message items.

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.
