jif ec8edd576c Refine enterprise MCP auth errors and request authority checks (#55691)
## What changed

- Classify token-source failures by credential kind and exchange stage, with sign-in or administrator guidance that omits provider error text. Treat resource authorization failures separately from enterprise identity failures when deciding whether authentication is required.
- Add policy-bound request authority checks that return `RequestNotSent` when policy is updating or unavailable, while allowing admitted responses to finish. Support child authorities that isolate connection revocation and share response draining.
- Recheck account validity after acquiring the credential invalidation lock and check cancellation before deleting a rejected credential.

## Testing

Extend regression coverage for policy suspension during token renewal, completion of admitted requests, recovery with fresh authority, and transport retry classification. Expand provider-error tests to cover `unauthorized_client` and `invalid_client` while checking that credential text is not exposed.

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.
