feat(app-server): add tracing to all app-server APIs (#13285)
### Overview
This PR adds the first piece of tracing for app-server JSON-RPC
requests.

There are two main changes:
- JSON-RPC requests can now take an optional W3C trace context at the
top level via a `trace` field (`traceparent` / `tracestate`).
- app-server now creates a dedicated request span for every inbound
JSON-RPC request in `MessageProcessor`, and uses the request-level trace
context as the parent when present.

For compatibility with existing flows, app-server still falls back to
the TRACEPARENT env var when there is no request-level traceparent.

This PR is intentionally scoped to the app-server boundary. In a
followup, we'll actually propagate trace context through the async
handoff into core execution spans like run_turn, which will make
app-server traces much more useful.

### Spans
A few details on the app-server span shape:
- each inbound request gets its own server span
- span/resource names are based on the JSON-RPC method (`initialize`,
`thread/start`, `turn/start`, etc.)
- spans record transport (stdio vs websocket), request id, connection
id, and client name/version when available
- `initialize` stores client metadata in session state so later requests
on the same connection can reuse it

npm i -g @openai/codex
or brew install --cask codex

Codex CLI is a coding agent from OpenAI that runs locally on your computer.

Codex CLI splash


If you want Codex in your code editor (VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf), install in your IDE.
If you want the desktop app experience, run codex app or visit the Codex App page.
If you are looking for the cloud-based agent from OpenAI, Codex Web, go to chatgpt.com/codex.


Quickstart

Installing and running Codex CLI

Install globally with your preferred package manager:

# Install using npm
npm install -g @openai/codex
# Install using Homebrew
brew install --cask codex

Then simply run codex to get started.

You can also go to the latest GitHub Release and download the appropriate binary for your platform.

Each GitHub Release contains many executables, but in practice, you likely want one of these:

  • macOS
    • Apple Silicon/arm64: codex-aarch64-apple-darwin.tar.gz
    • x86_64 (older Mac hardware): codex-x86_64-apple-darwin.tar.gz
  • Linux
    • x86_64: codex-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz
    • arm64: codex-aarch64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz

Each archive contains a single entry with the platform baked into the name (e.g., codex-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl), so you likely want to rename it to codex after extracting it.

Using Codex with your ChatGPT plan

Run codex and select Sign in with ChatGPT. We recommend signing into your ChatGPT account to use Codex as part of your Plus, Pro, Team, Edu, or Enterprise plan. Learn more about what's included in your ChatGPT plan.

You can also use Codex with an API key, but this requires additional setup.
