## Summary
- switch MultiAgentV2 send_message to accept a single message string
instead of items
- keep the old assign_task item parser in place for the next branch
- update send_message schema/spec and focused handler tests
## Verification
- cargo test -p codex-tools
send_message_tool_requires_message_and_uses_submission_output
- cargo test -p codex-core multi_agent_v2_send_message
- just fix -p codex-tools
- just fix -p codex-core
- just argument-comment-lint

Adds this:
```
properties.insert(
"fork_turns".to_string(),
JsonSchema::String {
description: Some(
"Optional MultiAgentV2 fork mode. Use `none`, `all`, or a positive integer string such as `3` to fork only the most recent turns."
.to_string(),
),
},
);
```

## Why
The recent `codex-tools` migration steps have moved shared tool models
and low-coupling spec helpers out of `codex-core`, but
`core/src/tools/spec.rs` still owned a large block of pure
collaboration-tool spec construction. Those builders do not need session
state or runtime behavior; they only need a small amount of core-owned
configuration injected at the seam.
Moving that cohesive slice into `codex-tools` makes the crate boundary
more honest and removes a substantial amount of passive tool-spec logic
from `codex-core` without trying to move the runtime-coupled multi-agent
handlers at the same time.
## What changed
- added `agent_tool.rs`, `request_user_input_tool.rs`, and
`agent_job_tool.rs` to `codex-tools`, with sibling `*_tests.rs` coverage
and an exports-only `lib.rs`
- moved the pure `ToolSpec` builders for:
- collaboration tools such as `spawn_agent`, `send_input`,
`send_message`, `assign_task`, `resume_agent`, `wait_agent`,
`list_agents`, and `close_agent`
- `request_user_input`
- agent-job specs `spawn_agents_on_csv` and `report_agent_job_result`
- rewired `core/src/tools/spec.rs` to call the extracted builders while
still supplying the core-owned inputs, such as spawn-agent role
descriptions and wait timeout bounds
- updated the `core/src/tools/spec.rs` seam tests to build expected
collaboration specs through `codex-tools`
- updated `codex-rs/tools/README.md` so the crate documentation reflects
the broader collaboration-tool boundary
## Test plan
- `CARGO_TARGET_DIR=/tmp/codex-tools-collab-specs cargo test -p
codex-tools`
- `CARGO_TARGET_DIR=/tmp/codex-core-collab-specs cargo test -p
codex-core --lib tools::spec::`
- `just fix -p codex-tools -p codex-core`
- `just argument-comment-lint`
