js_repl: remove codex.state helper references (#12275)

## Summary

This PR removes `codex.state` from the `js_repl` helper surface and
removes all corresponding documentation/instruction references.

## Motivation

Top-level bindings in `js_repl` now persist across cells, so the extra
`codex.state` helper is redundant and adds unnecessary API/docs surface.

## Changes

- Removed the long-lived `state` object from the Node kernel helper
wiring.
- Stopped exposing `codex.state` (and `context.state`) during `js_repl`
execution.
- Updated user-facing `js_repl` docs to remove `codex.state`.
- Updated generated instruction text and related test expectations to
list only:
  - `codex.tmpDir`
  - `codex.tool(name, args?)`
