Jeremy Rose bc3545b805 Validate linked worktrees before inheriting project trust (#39616)
## Why

A checkout could point its `.git` file at a trusted repository's worktree
directory without proving that the repository had registered that checkout.
This could cause project configuration from an unrelated checkout to be treated
as trusted.

## What changed

- Verify the linked worktree's `gitdir` backlink, `commondir`, registered
  checkout, and main checkout ownership before resolving the main repository's
  trust key.
- Reject missing, oversized, symlinked, mismatched, or swapped Git metadata.
- Preserve valid linked worktrees that use path aliases, separate Git
  directories, or non-UTF-8 POSIX paths.

## Testing

Add resolver and config-loading coverage for forged worktrees, metadata races,
case-sensitive paths, moved worktrees, and host MCP startup from project config.

codex-git-utils

Helpers for interacting with git, including patch application. The crate also exposes a lightweight baseline API for internal directories that use git only as a resettable diff mechanism: ensure_git_baseline_repository preserves a usable root/.git baseline or creates one when it is missing or unusable, reset_git_repository replaces root/.git with a fresh one-commit baseline, and diff_since_latest_init returns structured file changes plus a unified diff from that baseline to the current directory contents.

use std::path::Path;

use codex_git_utils::{apply_git_patch, ApplyGitRequest};

let repo = Path::new("/path/to/repo");

// Apply a patch (omitted here) to the repository.
let request = ApplyGitRequest {
    cwd: repo.to_path_buf(),
    diff: String::from("...diff contents..."),
    revert: false,
    preflight: false,
};
let result = apply_git_patch(&request)?;
