Brent Traut de9e78e3e7 Add item anchors to thread/items/list pagination (#48151)
## What changed

Allow `cursor` to accept an item anchor such as `{"type":"item","itemId":"item-123"}` with a non-empty `turnId`. Ascending pagination returns items after the anchor; descending pagination returns items before it. The anchor itself is excluded, and subsequent pages use the returned opaque string cursor.

Resolve anchors within the requested turn's visible history, including inherited fork history. Reject missing turn IDs and empty, unknown, or out-of-scope item IDs with invalid params (`-32602`). Preserve existing string and null cursor behavior, and update the protocol schemas, TypeScript and Python types, and API documentation.

## Testing

Add protocol round-trip and invalid-shape tests, app-server coverage for anchored pagination and errors, and thread-store coverage for growing turns, reverse pagination, page boundaries, fork visibility, and anchor scope validation.

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.
