Owen Lin 8e44ad94b0 Add coordinated shutdown for local agent trees (#49814)
## What changed

Expose `ThreadManager::request_agent_tree_shutdown` and an `AgentTreeShutdown::wait` handle. Requests reject new starts in the shared runtime, cancel pending startup, and signal every session in that tree, including delegates outside the thread registry. Waiting covers admitted operations and session teardown, and reports cleanup or persistence writer failures. Other root trees remain unaffected; registry removal and persistence handoff remain caller responsibilities.

Retain tree membership through startup, cancelled spawn cleanup, residency eviction, and completion watchers. Release persistence resources before returning startup failures, and stop completion watchers during tree shutdown without reporting shutdown as a child result.

## Testing

Add coverage for tree isolation, children removed from the registry, delegate teardown, cancellation during required MCP initialization, aborted teardown, persistence writer failures, and successful retry after a failed resume releases its writer.

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.
