Owen Lin 592467fb96 Load model context from a bounded rollout suffix (#32896)
## Why

Reconstructing the latest model-visible context does not require replaying an
entire paginated rollout when a usable compaction checkpoint and the associated
completed-turn metadata are available.

## What changed

- Add `ThreadStore::load_latest_model_context` and `StoredModelContext` for
  loading replay-ready model context independently of full thread history.
- Reverse-scan plain paginated JSONL rollouts until the newest safe bounded
  suffix is found, while preserving canonical session metadata and chronological
  replay order.
- Fall back to complete history for legacy or compressed rollouts and whenever
  compaction or rollback records make a bounded cutoff unsafe.

## Testing

- Cover checkpoint selection, turn-metadata boundaries, agent messages,
  contextual user fragments, and full-history fallbacks.

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.
