viyatb-oai d124fe9de1 Add negotiated network policy metadata support for MCP calls (#56278)
## What changed

Add an optional `NetworkPolicyMetadataProvider` to the MCP runtime. Advertise `codex/network-policy-meta` only to trusted ChatGPT origins when a provider is available, and attach policy metadata only when the sending session also advertises support.

Strip caller-supplied policy metadata and derive restrictions from the call's captured permission profile and server environment. Resolve metadata against each session's capabilities, including after recovery, while retaining one policy snapshot per call. Fail the call before sending if policy resolution fails. Existing runtime callers leave the provider unset.

## Testing

Add tests for capability negotiation, trusted-origin restrictions, forged metadata removal, both tool dispatch paths, and policy snapshot reuse. Add HTTP session-recovery coverage for changing capabilities and policy-resolution failures while preserving caller metadata and read-only restrictions.

Codex MCP runtime

This crate manages Codex's MCP connections, tool calls, and their captured authority.

Sandbox request metadata

An MCP server advertises the experimental codex/sandbox-state capability to receive sandbox metadata on tool calls. The deprecated capability name codex/sandbox-state-meta opts into the same contract during migration.

Codex supplies these entries in the request's _meta object:

Key Value
codex/sandbox-state Opaque policy to pass to codex sandbox --sandbox-state-json.
codex/sandbox-state-meta An identical copy of that policy under the deprecated name.
codex/sandbox-launcher When available, an object with an absolute codexExecutable path to a verified full Codex CLI on the MCP server's host.

Use the launcher path to invoke sandbox --sandbox-state-json with the entire state value serialized as one argument, followed by -- and the command to run. The state contains neither launcher discovery data nor deprecation messages. Preserve unknown policy fields by forwarding the original value rather than deserializing and reconstructing it. The two state names are aliases, not separate policies; new consumers should prefer codex/sandbox-state.

Launcher metadata is currently available only for local stdio servers. An HTTP endpoint, including loopback, or a remote executor does not establish a shared filesystem with the harness. Codex omits the launcher when its path is unknown, not representable as UTF-8, or fails the cached capability probe. Absence does not authorize a PATH search or unsandboxed fallback. Servers that require a launcher must fail closed or require an explicit operator opt-out.

The state and launcher describe the issuing call. Retain both when starting a long-lived subprocess or caching policy-bound results; reject changed authority before reusing them. Tool arguments supplied by the model are not authority. See sandbox_metadata.rs for the wire types and binding.rs for execution-environment selection.
