Eric Traut a8468330bb Add TUI tools for managing Codex tasks (#40308) ...

## Why

The TUI rejected app-server dynamic tool calls as unsupported, so agents could
not inspect or manage other Codex tasks through a TUI session.

## What changed

- Add the `codex_tui` tool namespace for listing, reading, waiting on, creating,
  forking, messaging, renaming, archiving, and restoring tasks.
- Handle tool calls through existing app-server thread operations, with bounded
  inputs and responses and cleanup when calls complete or the TUI disconnects.
- Route delegation tools through an authenticated local MCP server with explicit
  approval prompts, while respecting configured and managed MCP policies.
- Fall back to starting threads without dynamic tools when connected to an older
  app server that does not support them.

## Testing

Add coverage for tool schemas and response bounds, task lifecycle operations,
approval-gated MCP transport, namespace dispatch, cancellation, and legacy
app-server fallback behavior.
