Owen Lin 6256a7ccc7 Make thread history projection resilient to malformed rollouts (#36188)
## Why

A failed rollout append can leave a rejected line before a valid same-ordinal
retry. Advancing the byte checkpoint past that line without also advancing the
ordinal checkpoint can prevent subsequent history from being projected.

## What changed

- Defer rejected and unknown rollout lines until a later valid ordinal shows
  whether they were replaced by a retry or consumed an ordinal.
- Advance skipped ordinal ranges together with the durable byte checkpoint,
  while rejecting gaps that cannot be explained by rejected lines.
- Prefer item event timestamps and parse the rollout timestamp only when an
  item needs it as a fallback.

## Testing

Added coverage for same-ordinal retries, inferred ordinal gaps, unknown and
malformed records, invalid fallback timestamps, and unexplained gaps.

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.
