Owen Lin bee28e8a06 Cap persisted command output in paginated history at 64 KiB (#50427)
## Why

Paginated history previously persisted completed commands' full `aggregated_output`, allowing large command outputs to inflate stored history.

## What changed

- Limit persisted command `aggregated_output` to 64 KiB, including a truncation marker. Preserve the beginning and end of the output without splitting UTF-8 characters.
- Apply the shared persistence policy to rollout recording, thread-store appends, and legacy-to-paginated history migration.
- Measure persisted payload bytes after truncation so persistence metrics reflect the stored representation.

## Testing

Add coverage for the byte limit, UTF-8 boundaries, unchanged inputs that fit, and markers that exceed the budget. Verify capped output in paginated thread history and migrated legacy history, and verify persistence metrics use the truncated payload size.

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.
