Steve Coffey b0a6b8d86f Record resolved model and reasoning effort in sub-agent activity (#51463)
## What changed

Add `model` and `reasoningEffort` to `subAgentActivity` items for multi-agent v2 spawns. Capture startup settings before the child begins its turn and resolve the reported effort against model metadata, including model defaults, while preserving the child's configured effort.

Carry these fields through live notifications, persisted activity, thread history, and legacy rollout migration. Update the JSON schemas and generated TypeScript and Python types. Older records and other activity kinds retain null values.

## Testing

Add coverage for resolved spawn settings matching the child's request across legacy and paginated history, preserving configured effort, forwarding metadata through events and history, and reading and migrating older records without the new fields.

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.
