Brent Traut 77fde36ae1 Allow searching persisted attached threads (#60574)
## Why

Title and content searches exclude attached threads, preventing clients from finding their saved conversations alongside ordinary threads.

## What changed

- Add `includeAttachedThreads` to `thread/list` and `thread/search`. For `thread/list`, require a non-empty `searchTerm` and preserve the usual provider and source filters.
- Expose `attachedToThreadId` on thread responses to identify the owning parent independently of fork and subagent lineage.
- Support inclusive searches through SQLite and filesystem fallback, repairing missing database entries with saved thread names during title searches.

## Testing

Add regression coverage for opt-in title and content searches, attached-parent metadata after restart, default search filters, filesystem searches without SQLite, and discovery and repair of unindexed title matches.

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.
