Adjust MCP tool approval handling for custom servers (#11787) 
Summary
This PR expands MCP client-side approval behavior beyond codex_apps and
tightens elicitation capability signaling.

- Removed the codex_apps-only gate in MCP tool approval checks, so
local/custom MCP servers are now eligible for the same client-side
approval prompt flow when tool annotations indicate side effects.
- Updated approval memory keying to support tools without a connector ID
(connector_id: Option<String>), allowing “Approve this Session” to be
remembered even when connector metadata is missing.
- Updated prompt text for non-codex_apps tools to identify origin as The
<server> MCP server instead of This app.
- Added MCP initialization capability policy so only codex_apps
advertises MCP elicitation capability; other servers advertise no
elicitation support.
- Added regression tests for:
server-specific prompt copy behavior
codex-apps-only elicitation capability advertisement

Testing
- Not run (not requested)

codex-core

This crate implements the business logic for Codex. It is designed to be used by the various Codex UIs written in Rust.

Dependencies

Note that codex-core makes some assumptions about certain helper utilities being available in the environment. Currently, this support matrix is:

macOS

Expects /usr/bin/sandbox-exec to be present.

When using the workspace-write sandbox policy, the Seatbelt profile allows writes under the configured writable roots while keeping .git (directory or pointer file), the resolved gitdir: target, and .codex read-only.

Network access and filesystem read/write roots are controlled by SandboxPolicy. Seatbelt consumes the resolved policy and enforces it.

Seatbelt also supports macOS permission-profile extensions layered on top of SandboxPolicy:

  • no extension profile provided: keeps legacy default preferences read access (user-preference-read).
  • extension profile provided with no macos_preferences grant: does not add preferences access clauses.
  • macos_preferences = "readonly": enables cfprefs read clauses and user-preference-read.
  • macos_preferences = "readwrite": includes readonly clauses plus user-preference-write and cfprefs shm write clauses.
  • macos_automation = true: enables broad Apple Events send permissions.
  • macos_automation = ["com.apple.Notes", ...]: enables Apple Events send only to listed bundle IDs.
  • macos_accessibility = true: enables com.apple.axserver mach lookup.
  • macos_calendar = true: enables com.apple.CalendarAgent mach lookup.

Linux

Expects the binary containing codex-core to run the equivalent of codex sandbox linux (legacy alias: codex debug landlock) when arg0 is codex-linux-sandbox. See the codex-arg0 crate for details.

All Platforms

Expects the binary containing codex-core to simulate the virtual apply_patch CLI when arg1 is --codex-run-as-apply-patch. See the codex-arg0 crate for details.
