rhan-oai df72fdb415 Consolidate model instructions in ModelMessages (#36787)
## What changed

- Remove `ModelInfo.base_instructions` as an in-memory instruction source and use `model_messages.instructions_template` consistently for bundled, remote, fallback, and overridden model metadata.
- Preserve compatibility by promoting legacy `base_instructions` values when reading model responses and caches, and by including rendered legacy instructions when serializing `ModelsResponse` for older clients.
- Treat templates without instruction variables as literal text and retain the other model-message fields when applying instruction overrides.

This completes the consolidation proposed in https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/31302.

## Testing

- Cover legacy response and cache migration, canonical-template precedence, fallback instructions, personality rendering, overrides, and model switching.

codex-protocol

This crate defines the "types" for the protocol used by Codex CLI, which includes both "internal types" for communication between codex-core and codex-tui, as well as "external types" used with codex app-server.

This crate should have minimal dependencies.

Ideally, we should avoid "material business logic" in this crate, as we can always introduce Ext-style traits to add functionality to types in other crates.
