feat(core): plumb distinct approval ids for command approvals (#12051)
zsh fork PR stack:
- https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/12051 👈 
- https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/12052

With upcoming support for a fork of zsh that allows us to intercept
`execve` and run execpolicy checks for each subcommand as part of a
`CommandExecution`, it will be possible for there to be multiple
approval requests for a shell command like `/path/to/zsh -lc 'git status
&& rg \"TODO\" src && make test'`.

To support that, this PR introduces a new `approval_id` field across
core, protocol, and app-server so that we can associate approvals
properly for subcommands.

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

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>
