Owen Lin 19b2273d8a Keep paginated thread Git metadata in SQLite (#34382)
## Why

Paginated rollouts contain only the initial Git metadata tuple. Reusing that
tuple during later reads, reconciliation, or resume can overwrite newer SQLite
values and undo explicit field clears.

## What changed

- Treat SQLite as authoritative for Git metadata once a thread is paginated.
- Apply paginated Git metadata patches directly to SQLite without appending
  compatibility metadata to the rollout.
- Preserve explicit null values when reading by rollout path or reconciling the
  initial session metadata, and ignore the initial Git tuple during resume.

## Testing

Added coverage for updating and clearing paginated Git metadata, preserving the
result through reconciliation and rollout-path reads, and avoiding stale Git
metadata updates on resume.

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.
