Eric Traut 6ba3a84680 Restore spawned descendants when unarchiving a thread (#57635)
## Why

Archiving a thread also archives its spawned descendants, but unarchiving it previously restored only the parent.

## What changed

- Restore archived spawned descendants when handling `thread/unarchive`, including descendants archived independently of the parent. Skip active descendants and continue past descendant restoration failures; fall back to restoring only the parent if descendant discovery fails.
- Emit `thread/unarchived` for each successfully restored thread. Hold the thread-list mutation permit through archive and unarchive responses and notifications to preserve ordering with other list mutations.
- Add `ThreadStore::unarchive_threads` and share rollout discovery across the subtree in the local store.

## Testing

Extend coverage for subtree restoration, independently archived children, descendant restoration failures, and failed descendant discovery. Store tests cover skipping active descendants and restoring archived descendants without hydrating their metadata.

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.
