This PR adds support for chained (layered) config.toml file merging for
clients that use the app server interface. This feature already exists
for the TUI, but it does not work for GUI clients.
It does the following:
* Changes code paths for new thread, resume thread, and fork thread to
use the effective config based on the cwd.
* Updates the `config/read` API to accept an optional `cwd` parameter.
If specified, the API returns the effective config based on that cwd
path. Also optionally includes all layers including project config
files. If cwd is not specified, the API falls back on its older behavior
where it considers only the global (non-project) config files when
computing the effective config.
The changes in codex_message_processor.rs look deceptively large. They
mostly just involve moving existing blocks of code to a later point in
some functions so it can use the cwd to calculate the config.
This PR builds upon #9509 and should be reviewed and merged after that
PR.
Tested:
* Verified change with (dependent, as-yet-uncommitted) changes to IDE
Extension and confirmed correct behavior
The full fix requires additional changes in the IDE Extension code base,
but they depend on this PR.
