Agent jobs (spawn_agents_on_csv) + progress UI (#10935 )

## Summary
- Add agent job support: spawn a batch of sub-agents from CSV, auto-run,
auto-export, and store results in SQLite.
- Simplify workflow: remove run/resume/get-status/export tools; spawn is
deterministic and completes in one call.
- Improve exec UX: stable, single-line progress bar with ETA; suppress
sub-agent chatter in exec.

## Why
Enables map-reduce style workflows over arbitrarily large repos using
the existing Codex orchestrator. This addresses review feedback about
overly complex job controls and non-deterministic monitoring.

## Demo (progress bar)
```
./codex-rs/target/debug/codex exec \
  --enable collab \
  --enable sqlite \
  --full-auto \
  --progress-cursor \
  -c agents.max_threads=16 \
  -C /Users/daveaitel/code/codex \
  - <<'PROMPT'
Create /tmp/agent_job_progress_demo.csv with columns: path,area and 30 rows:
path = item-01..item-30, area = test.

Then call spawn_agents_on_csv with:
- csv_path: /tmp/agent_job_progress_demo.csv
- instruction: "Run `python - <<'PY'` to sleep a random 0.3–1.2s, then output JSON with keys: path, score (int). Set score = 1."
- output_csv_path: /tmp/agent_job_progress_demo_out.csv
PROMPT
```

## Review feedback addressed
- Auto-start jobs on spawn; removed run/resume/status/export tools.
- Auto-export on success.
- More descriptive tool spec + clearer prompts.
- Avoid deadlocks on spawn failure; pending/running handled safely.
- Progress bar no longer scrolls; stable single-line redraw.

## Tests
- `cd codex-rs && cargo test -p codex-exec`
- `cd codex-rs && cargo build -p codex-cli`

Configuration

For basic configuration instructions, see this documentation.

For advanced configuration instructions, see this documentation.

For a full configuration reference, see this documentation.

Connecting to MCP servers

Codex can connect to MCP servers configured in ~/.codex/config.toml. See the configuration reference for the latest MCP server options:

https://developers.openai.com/codex/config-reference

Apps (Connectors)

Use $ in the composer to insert a ChatGPT connector; the popover lists accessible apps. The /apps command lists available and installed apps. Connected apps appear first and are labeled as connected; others are marked as can be installed.

Notify

Codex can run a notification hook when the agent finishes a turn. See the configuration reference for the latest notification settings:

https://developers.openai.com/codex/config-reference

JSON Schema

The generated JSON Schema for config.toml lives at codex-rs/core/config.schema.json.

SQLite State DB

Codex stores the SQLite-backed state DB under sqlite_home (config key) or the CODEX_SQLITE_HOME environment variable. When unset, WorkspaceWrite sandbox sessions default to a temp directory; other modes default to CODEX_HOME.

Notices

Codex stores "do not show again" flags for some UI prompts under the [notice] table.

Plan mode defaults

plan_mode_reasoning_effort lets you set a Plan-mode-specific default reasoning effort override. When unset, Plan mode uses the built-in Plan preset default (currently medium). When explicitly set (including none), it overrides the Plan preset. The string value none means "no reasoning" (an explicit Plan override), not "inherit the global default". There is currently no separate config value for "follow the global default in Plan mode".

Ctrl+C/Ctrl+D quitting uses a ~1 second double-press hint (ctrl + c again to quit).
