evawong-oai 0156b1e61f [sandbox] Enforce protected workspace metadata paths (#19846)
## Summary

Make FileSystemSandboxPolicy the semantic source of truth for project
root metadata protection. Under writable roots, `.git`, `.codex`, and
`.agents` stay protected unless user policy grants an explicit write
rule for that metadata path.

## Scope

1. Add `protected_metadata_names` to `WritableRoot`.
2. Teach `FileSystemSandboxPolicy::can_write_path_with_cwd` to reject
protected metadata writes under writable roots unless explicitly
allowed.
3. Default workspace write profiles to protect `.git`, `.codex`, and
`.agents`.
4. Add the Linux fallback setup needed before Linux enforcement lands
later in the stack.

## Reviewer Focus

1. The policy decision belongs in FileSystemSandboxPolicy, not shell
command parsing.
2. Legacy SandboxPolicy remains a compatibility projection, not the
source of the new rule.
3. Explicit user write rules can still opt into these metadata paths.

## Stack

1. Policy primitive: this PR
2. macOS Seatbelt adapter: #19847
3. Shell preflight UX: #19848
4. Runtime profile propagation: #19849
5. Linux bubblewrap adapter: #19852

## Validation

1. codex protocol permissions tests
2. formatting for codex protocol and codex linux sandbox
3. diff whitespace check

codex-protocol

This crate defines the "types" for the protocol used by Codex CLI, which includes both "internal types" for communication between codex-core and codex-tui, as well as "external types" used with codex app-server.

This crate should have minimal dependencies.

Ideally, we should avoid "material business logic" in this crate, as we can always introduce Ext-style traits to add functionality to types in other crates.
