Charlie Marsh ffda54f5b8 Reuse current model context across paginated resume config loading (#56224)
## Why

Resuming a paginated thread rechecks stored history after loading configuration. Unchanged model context can be reused instead of loading it again.

## What changed

Retain the prepared model context across configuration loading and reuse it when the thread ID, rollout path, and history revision still match. Add `ThreadStore::is_model_context_current` to validate revisions, with a fresh read when validation fails or is unavailable.

## Testing

Add coverage for revision invalidation after history is appended or removed. Extend resume tests to cover paginated history, concurrent metadata and lifecycle changes, workspace-root changes, and preservation of saved user messages in model requests.

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.
