Charlie Marsh ba0dfd3897 Prefer indexed rollout paths when resolving ancestors (#58960)
## What changed

- Consult SQLite before scanning for ancestor rollouts when no prefetched path is available. Validate that indexed paths resolve to managed storage and match the expected rollout ID and owner.
- Fall back to another copy when an indexed rollout is invalid, preserving the indexed copy's error if recovery fails.
- Skip ancestor cutoff validation when resolving history pages, which read projected rows and only need ancestor metadata for lineage bounds.

## Testing

Add regression coverage for indexed archived and compressed rollouts, invalid paths and owners, fallback recovery during context loading and forking, and history paging with an incomplete compressed ancestor.

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.
