jif a397079287 Preserve MCP resource origins across compaction (#39192)
## Why

Compaction can remove the tool-call events that associate an MCP app widget with
the tool, account, and URI needed to authorize later resource reads.

## What changed

- Store a bounded MCP resource-origin checkpoint with each compacted rollout.
- Restore the checkpoint when resuming a session so existing widgets remain
  readable after compaction and restart.
- Discard saved origins when rollback rewrites history across the compaction
  boundary, and reject oversized or invalid checkpoints during restoration.

## Testing

- Extend the app-server MCP resource-origin test to compact a paginated thread,
  continue the conversation, and read the original widgets before and after a
  restart.
- Verify rollback clears provenance that no longer matches retained history.

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.
