## Summary
This change surfaces skill metadata on command approval requests so
app-server clients can tell when an approval came from a skill script
and identify the originating `SKILL.md`.
- add `skill_metadata` to exec approval events in the shared protocol
- thread skill metadata through core shell escalation and delegated
approval handling for skill-triggered approvals
- expose the field in app-server v2 as experimental `skillMetadata`
- regenerate the JSON/TypeScript schemas and cover the new field in
protocol, transport, core, and TUI tests
## Why
Skill-triggered approvals already carry skill context inside core, but
app-server clients could not see which skill caused the prompt. Sending
the skill metadata with the approval request makes it possible for
clients to present better approval UX and connect the prompt back to the
relevant skill definition.

App Server Test Client
Quickstart for running and hitting codex app-server.
Quickstart
Run from <reporoot>/codex-rs.
# 1) Build debug codex binary
cargo build -p codex-cli --bin codex
# 2) Start websocket app-server in background
cargo run -p codex-app-server-test-client -- \
--codex-bin ./target/debug/codex \
serve --listen ws://127.0.0.1:4222 --kill
# 3) Call app-server (defaults to ws://127.0.0.1:4222)
cargo run -p codex-app-server-test-client -- model-list
Watching Raw Inbound Traffic
Initialize a connection, then print every inbound JSON-RPC message until you stop it with
Ctrl+C:
cargo run -p codex-app-server-test-client -- watch
Testing Thread Rejoin Behavior
Build and start an app server using commands above. The app-server log is written to /tmp/codex-app-server-test-client/app-server.log
1) Get a thread id
Create at least one thread, then list threads:
cargo run -p codex-app-server-test-client -- send-message-v2 "seed thread for rejoin test"
cargo run -p codex-app-server-test-client -- thread-list --limit 5
Copy a thread id from the thread-list output.
2) Rejoin while a turn is in progress (two terminals)
Terminal A:
cargo run --bin codex-app-server-test-client -- \
resume-message-v2 <THREAD_ID> "respond with thorough docs on the rust core"
Terminal B (while Terminal A is still streaming):
cargo run --bin codex-app-server-test-client -- thread-resume <THREAD_ID>
