Owen Lin 963316583b Enforce writer ownership for thread archive and deletion (#35031)
## Why

Paginated threads allow only one app-server process to write at a time. Archive and delete operations must not mutate a thread or its spawned descendants while another process owns any of them.

## What changed

- Acquire paginated writer locks for the full archive or deletion set before changing rollout files, including descendants whose rollout has not materialized yet.
- Add a batch archive store operation so ownership conflicts are detected before any thread in the subtree is archived.
- Return ownership conflicts as JSON-RPC invalid-request errors and document the behavior.

## Testing

- Cover archive and deletion conflicts for owned threads and descendants, including unmaterialized rollouts.
- Verify deletion still removes rollouts with unreadable metadata.

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.
