Eric Traut b7f710273e Support the app-server daemon on Windows (#42405 )

## Why

The managed app-server daemon and automatic TUI attachment were limited to
Unix, so Windows users could not share a background server across Codex
sessions.

## What changed

- Enable daemon lifecycle commands, `codex agents` startup, and AF_UNIX daemon
  discovery on Windows.
- Require Windows daemons to start non-elevated and verify the discovered
  socket directory and peer before connecting.
- Preflight detached process support, preserve path-based environment settings,
  and keep daemon processes out of the launching project's working directory.
- Fall back to an embedded server when an implicitly discovered daemon cannot
  connect, while preserving errors for explicit remote endpoints and bypassing
  daemon reuse when `CODEX_EXEC_SERVER_URL` is set.

## Testing

Add coverage for Windows launch restrictions and socket validation, implicit
connection fallback, executor selection, daemon discovery, and the agents
dashboard startup result.

codex-app-server-client

Shared in-process app-server client used by conversational CLI surfaces:

codex-exec
codex-tui

Purpose

This crate centralizes startup and lifecycle management for an in-process codex-app-server runtime, so CLI clients do not need to duplicate:

app-server bootstrap and initialize handshake
in-memory request/event transport wiring
lifecycle orchestration around caller-provided startup identity
graceful shutdown behavior

Startup identity

Callers pass both the app-server SessionSource and the initialize client_info.name explicitly when starting the facade.

That keeps thread metadata (for example in thread/list and thread/read) aligned with the originating runtime without baking TUI/exec-specific policy into the shared client layer.

Transport model

The in-process path uses typed channels:

client -> server: ClientRequest / ClientNotification
server -> client: InProcessServerEvent
- ServerRequest
- ServerNotification
- LegacyNotification

JSON serialization is still used at external transport boundaries (stdio/websocket), but the in-process hot path is typed.

Typed requests still receive app-server responses through the JSON-RPC result envelope internally. That is intentional: the in-process path is meant to preserve app-server semantics while removing the process boundary, not to introduce a second response contract.

Bootstrap behavior

The client facade starts an already-initialized in-process runtime, but thread bootstrap still follows normal app-server flow:

caller sends thread/start or thread/resume
app-server returns the immediate typed response
richer session metadata may arrive later as a SessionConfigured legacy event

Surfaces such as TUI and exec may therefore need a short bootstrap phase where they reconcile startup response data with later events.

Backpressure and shutdown

Command queues and the embedded runtime remain bounded, using DEFAULT_IN_PROCESS_CHANNEL_CAPACITY by default.
The facade's local consumer event queue is unbounded and preserves notification order. This keeps the worker draining the bounded runtime while a caller waits for a request, preventing unread notifications from blocking its response.
shutdown() performs a bounded graceful shutdown and then aborts if timeout is exceeded.
