ioanbudea-OAI c141c31323 Preserve requested approval reviewers across policy overrides (#59272)
## Why

A model requirement can force `auto_review` even when the requested reviewer is `user`. Persisting or sending that effective value back as an explicit choice loses the original selection, so removing the requirement cannot restore it on resume.

## What changed

- Retain `requested_approvals_reviewer` separately from the effective reviewer in configuration and thread settings, with a fallback for older histories.
- Restore the requested reviewer on resume while applying current model requirements and reviewer allowlists.
- Let ordinary TUI turns, continuations, retries, and forks inherit the server's reviewer instead of echoing its effective value as an explicit request.
- Preserve a worker's requested reviewer when reloading it rather than inheriting the sender's selection.

## Testing

Extend resume coverage for explicit `auto_review`, removal of a model requirement, and a tightened reviewer allowlist. Update TUI assertions for omitted reviewer overrides and verify worker reload preserves its reviewer.

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.
