rhan-oai f5636bb733 Restore thread cwd from owned settings snapshots (#41567)
## Why

Resuming a thread without an explicit `cwd` should restore that thread's latest
retained setting. Forked history can contain settings copied from another
thread, while compaction can move the latest setting outside the replay window.

## What changed

- Record the owning thread ID on new settings snapshots and only use snapshots
  owned by the resumed thread when restoring `cwd`. Older snapshots without an
  owner remain readable but do not override the startup `cwd`.
- Checkpoint the current settings after compaction and serialize checkpoints
  with settings updates so the retained history contains an accepted, current
  snapshot.
- Cover resume behavior across compaction, forks, reverts, legacy histories,
  and concurrent settings updates.

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.
