jif 73a1148c9c Coordinate rollout compression with active thread writers (#44138)
## Why

Cold rollout files can still have active writers. Compression must not replace their files while writes are pending, including background work that outlives the local thread store.

## What changed

- Share cross-process writer locks between the rollout compressor and local thread store. Skip busy threads and recheck file state under coordination before publishing compressed files.
- Retain writer ownership through recorder background I/O and compressed rollout materialization. Wait for writers to exit on shutdown or discard, and stop queued file work before deletion.
- Route rollout metadata patches through owned recorders, reject competing writers before updating SQLite, and serialize metadata appends with shutdown.

## Testing

Add regression coverage for compression with live and detached writers, parallel cold-file compression, publication locking, metadata ownership conflicts, updates to compressed rollouts, concurrent shutdown, and discarding deferred items.

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.
