faizan-oai 3921a30d6b Persist Daybreak preferences in thread metadata (#42854)
## Why

Clients need a per-thread Daybreak toggle that survives restarts and can be
restored on resume without changing the access program of an active or future
turn.

## What changed

- Add experimental `daybreakEnabled` support to `thread/metadata/update` and
  expose the saved value on thread responses.
- Store the preference in SQLite, including for threads without a first turn,
  and preserve it through reads, resumes, reconciliation, and restarts.
- Copy the preference when forking a thread while keeping subsequent updates
  independent.
- Keep `daybreakEnabled` separate from the per-turn `cyberAccessProgram` field;
  app-server does not derive one from the other.

## Testing

- Cover persistence across restarts, cold reads, reconciliation, and forks.
- Verify metadata updates do not alter the access program of active or later
  turns.

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.
