Abhinav 2fc4bda3ca Preserve originating context for yielded code-mode tool calls (#44866)
## Why

A code-mode cell can outlive its turn. Nested tool calls dispatched during a later turn need the original step's tools and context, while approval handling must still work across that turn boundary.

## What changed

- Retain each cell's originating `StepContext` for nested tool dispatch and cancel queued calls whose context has been released.
- Keep MCP approval metadata available for the lifetime of the running invocation, keyed by server and call ID.
- Apply Guardian denial accounting and interruption to the active turn, including reviews from an earlier cell.
- Carry `turn_id` in legacy MCP begin/end events so history reconstruction and rollout migration assign late completions to their original turn. Preserve the current-turn fallback for older records without it.

## Testing

Add regression coverage for originating tool selection across turns, callback and metadata cleanup, delayed MCP elicitation review, Guardian interruption of the active turn, and late MCP completion attribution with legacy compatibility.

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.
