- prefix command approval reasons with "Reason:"
- show keyboard shortcuts for some ListSelectionItems
- remove "description" lines for approval options, and make the labels
more verbose
- add a spacer line in diff display after the path
and some other minor refactors that go along with the above.

## Summary
- show the remaining context window percentage in `/status` alongside
existing token usage details
- replace the composer shortcut prompt with the context window
percentage (or an unavailable message) while a task is running
- update TUI snapshots to reflect the new context window line
## Testing
- cargo test -p codex-tui

## Summary
- show a dim “(no output)” placeholder when an executed command produces
no stdout or stderr so empty runs are visible
- update TUI snapshots to include the new placeholder in history
renderings
## Testing
- cargo test -p codex-tui

We continue the separation between `codex app-server` and `codex
mcp-server`.
In particular, we introduce a new crate, `codex-app-server-protocol`,
and migrate `codex-rs/protocol/src/mcp_protocol.rs` into it, renaming it
`codex-rs/app-server-protocol/src/protocol.rs`.
Because `ConversationId` was defined in `mcp_protocol.rs`, we move it
into its own file, `codex-rs/protocol/src/conversation_id.rs`, and
because it is referenced in a ton of places, we have to touch a lot of
files as part of this PR.
We also decide to get away from proper JSON-RPC 2.0 semantics, so we
also introduce `codex-rs/app-server-protocol/src/jsonrpc_lite.rs`, which
is basically the same `JSONRPCMessage` type defined in `mcp-types`
except with all of the `"jsonrpc": "2.0"` removed.
Getting rid of `"jsonrpc": "2.0"` makes our serialization logic
considerably simpler, as we can lean heavier on serde to serialize
directly into the wire format that we use now.
Fixing the "? for shortcuts"
- Only show the hint when composer is empty
- Don't reset footer on new task updates
- Reorder the elements
- Align the "?" and "/" with overlay on and off
Based on #4364
- Refactor Exec Cell into its own module
- update exec command rendering to inline the first command line
- limit continuation lines
- always show trimmed output
Instead of overwriting the contents of the composer when pressing
<kbd>Esc</kbd> when there's a queued message, prepend the queued
message(s) to the composer draft.
## Summary
Introduces a “ghost commit” workflow that snapshots the tree without
touching refs.
1. git commit-tree writes an unreferenced commit object from the current
index, optionally pointing to the current HEAD as its parent.
2. We then stash that commit id and use git restore --source <ghost> to
roll the worktree (and index) back to the recorded snapshot later on.
## Details
- Ghost commits live only as loose objects—we never update branches or
tags—so the repo history stays untouched while still giving us a full
tree snapshot.
- Force-included paths let us stage otherwise ignored files before
capturing the tree.
- Restoration rehydrates both tracked and force-included files while
leaving untracked/ignored files alone.
Adds a "View Stack" to the bottom pane to allow for pushing/popping
bottom panels.
`esc` will go back instead of dismissing.
Benefit: We retain the "selection state" of a parent panel (e.g. the
review panel).
Adds the following options:
1. Review current changes
2. Review a specific commit
3. Review against a base branch (PR style)
4. Custom instructions

\+ Adds the following UI helpers:
1. Makes list selection searchable
2. Adds navigation to the bottom pane, so you could add a stack of
popups
3. Basic custom prompt view
`ClientRequest::NewConversation` picks up the reasoning level from the user's defaults in `config.toml`, so it should be reported in `NewConversationResponse`.
Created this PR by:
- adding `redundant_clone` to `[workspace.lints.clippy]` in
`cargo-rs/Cargol.toml`
- running `cargo clippy --tests --fix`
- running `just fmt`
Though I had to clean up one instance of the following that resulted:
```rust
let codex = codex;
```
Also, simplify the streaming behavior.
This fixes a number of display issues with streaming markdown, and paves
the way for better markdown features (e.g. customizable styles, syntax
highlighting, markdown-aware wrapping).
Not currently supported:
- footnotes
- tables
- reference-style links
This PR adds an `images` field to the existing `UserMessageEvent` so we
can encode zero or more images associated with a user message. This
allows images to be restored when conversations are restored.
Adding the `rollout_path` to the `NewConversationResponse` makes it so a
client can perform subsequent operations on a `(ConversationId,
PathBuf)` pair. #3353 will introduce support for `ArchiveConversation`.

This PR does multiple things that are necessary for conversation resume
to work from the extension. I wanted to make sure everything worked so
these changes wound up in one PR:
1. Generate more ts types
2. Resume rollout history files rather than create a new one every time
it is resumed so you don't see a duplicate conversation in history for
every resume. Chatted with @aibrahim-oai to verify this
3. Return conversation_id in conversation summaries
4. [Cleanup] Use serde and strong types for a lot of the rollout file
parsing
We're trying to migrate from `session_id: Uuid` to `conversation_id:
ConversationId`. Not only does this give us more type safety but it
unifies our terminology across Codex and with the implementation of
session resuming, a conversation (which can span multiple sessions) is
more appropriate.
I started this impl on https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/3219 as part
of getting resume working in the extension but it's big enough that it
should be broken out.
