instructions to pre-warm inference.

- Introduce `RealtimeConversationManager` for realtime API management
- Add `op::conversation` to start conversation, insert audio, insert
text, and close conversation.
- emit conversation lifecycle and realtime events.
- Move shared realtime payload types into codex-protocol and add core
e2e websocket tests for start/replace/transport-close paths.
Things to consider:
- Should we use the same `op::` and `Events` channel to carry audio? I
think we should try this simple approach and later we can create
separate one if the channels got congested.
- Sending text updates to the client: we can start simple and later
restrict that.
- Provider auth isn't wired for now intentionally
## Summary
- add realtime websocket client transport in codex-api
- send session.create on connect with backend prompt and optional
conversation_id
- keep session.update for prompt changes after connect
- switch inbound event parsing to a tagged enum (typed variants instead
of optional field bag)
- add a websocket e2e integration test in
codex-rs/codex-api/tests/realtime_websocket_e2e.rs
## Why
This moves the realtime transport to an explicit session-create
handshake and improves protocol safety with typed inbound events.
## Testing
- Added e2e integration test coverage for session create + event flow in
the API crate.
### Summary
Ensure that we use the model value from the response header only so that
we are guaranteed with the correct slug name. We are no longer checking
against the model value from response so that we are less likely to have
false positive.
There are two different treatments - for SSE we use the header from the
response and for websocket we check top-level events.
Add per-turn notice when a request is downgraded to a fallback model due
to cyber safety checks.
**Changes**
- codex-api: Emit a ServerModel event based on the openai-model response
header and/or response payload (SSE + WebSocket), including when the
model changes mid-stream.
- core: When the server-reported model differs from the requested model,
emit a single per-turn warning explaining the reroute to gpt-5.2 and
directing users to Trusted
Access verification and the cyber safety explainer.
- app-server (v2): Surface these cyber model-routing warnings as
synthetic userMessage items with text prefixed by Warning: (and document
this behavior).

Added multi-limit support end-to-end by carrying limit_name in
rate-limit snapshots and handling multiple buckets instead of only
codex.
Extended /usage client parsing to consume additional_rate_limits
Updated TUI /status and in-memory state to store/render per-limit
snapshots
Extended app-server rate-limit read response: kept rate_limits and added
rate_limits_by_name.
Adjusted usage-limit error messaging for non-default codex limit buckets
When communicating over websockets, we can't rely on headers to deliver
rate limit information. This PR adds a `codex.rate_limits` event that
the server can pass to the client to inform them about rate limit usage.
The client parses this data the same way we parse rate limit headers in
HTTP mode.
This PR also wires up the etag and reasoning headers for websockets
### What
add wiring for `phase` field on `ResponseItem::Message` to lay
groundwork for differentiating model preambles and final messages.
currently optional.
follows pattern in #9698.
updated schemas with `just write-app-server-schema` so we can see type
changes.
### Tests
Updated existing tests for SSE parsing and hydrating from history
Summary
- expose websocket telemetry hooks through the responses client so
request durations and event processing can be reported
- record websocket request/event metrics and emit runtime telemetry
events that the history UI now surfaces
- improve tests to cover websocket telemetry reporting and guard runtime

seeing issues with azure after default-enabling web search: #10071,
#10257.
need to work with azure to fix api-side, for now turning off
default-enable of web_search for azure.
diff is big because i moved logic to reuse
### Summary
- Parse all `web_search` tool actions (`search`, `find_in_page`,
`open_page`).
- Previously we only parsed + displayed `search`, which made the TUI
appear to pause when the other actions were being used.
- Show in progress `web_search` calls as `Searching the web`
- Previously we only showed completed tool calls

### Tests
Added + updated tests, tested locally
### Follow ups
Update VSCode extension to display these as well
**Goal**: Prevent response.failed events with `invalid_prompt` from
being treated as retryable errors so the UI shows the actual error
message instead of continually retrying.
**Before**: Codex would continue to retry despite the prompt being
marked as disallowed
**After**: Codex will stop retrying once prompt is marked disallowed
- capture the header from SSE/WS handshakes, store it per
ModelClientSession using `Oncelock`, echo it on turn-scoped requests,
and add SSE+WS integration tests for within-turn persistence +
cross-turn reset.
- keep `x-codex-turn-state` sticky within a user turn to maintain
routing continuity for retries/tool follow-ups.
