Dmitriy Kovalenko caae161dd0 Keep thread storage available when diagnostic logs fail (#60466)
## Why

Failure to open the diagnostic logs database should not disable thread storage or database-only history listing. Thread deletion must still preserve saved conversations when diagnostic log cleanup cannot complete.

## What changed

- Allow state initialization to continue after non-corruption errors opening the logs database, while preserving corruption recovery.
- Report the original diagnostic database error after tracing is installed in the TUI and app server, and return it from log operations.
- Reject thread deletion before destructive cleanup when diagnostic storage failed to initialize.
- Continue periodic cleanup of legacy logs when the current logs database is unavailable.

## Testing

Extend coverage for unavailable log directories, database-only history listing, startup diagnostics, deletion preserving saved conversations, corrupt log headers, and periodic legacy log cleanup during a diagnostic storage outage.

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.
