Michael Bolin 3c7f013f97 core: cut codex-core compile time 63% with native async ToolHandler (#16630)
## Why

`ToolHandler` was still paying a large compile-time tax from
`#[async_trait]` on every concrete handler impl, even though the only
object-safe boundary the registry actually stores is the internal
`AnyToolHandler` adapter.

This PR removes that macro-generated async wrapper layer from concrete
`ToolHandler` impls while keeping the existing object-safe shim in
`AnyToolHandler`. In practice, that gets essentially the same
compile-time win as the larger type-erasure refactor in #16627, but with
a much smaller diff and without changing the public shape of
`ToolHandler<Output = T>`.

That tradeoff matters here because this is a broad `codex-core` hotspot
and reviewers should be able to judge the compile-time impact from hard
numbers, not vibes.

## Headline result

On a clean `codex-core` package rebuild (`cargo clean -p codex-core`
before each command), rustc `total` dropped from **187.15s to 68.98s**
versus the shared `0bd31dc382bd` baseline: **-63.1%**.

The biggest hot passes dropped by roughly **71-72%**:

| Metric | Baseline `0bd31dc382bd` | This PR `41f7ac0adeac` | Delta |
|---|---:|---:|---:|
| `total` | 187.15s | 68.98s | **-63.1%** |
| `generate_crate_metadata` | 84.53s | 24.49s | **-71.0%** |
| `MIR_borrow_checking` | 84.13s | 24.58s | **-70.8%** |
| `monomorphization_collector_graph_walk` | 79.74s | 22.19s | **-72.2%**
|
| `evaluate_obligation` self-time | 180.62s | 46.91s | **-74.0%** |

Important caveat: `-Z time-passes` timings are nested, so
`generate_crate_metadata` and `monomorphization_collector_graph_walk`
are mostly overlapping, not additive.

## Why this PR over #16627

#16627 already proved that the `ToolHandler` stack was the right
hotspot, but it got there by making `ToolHandler` object-safe and
changing every handler to return `BoxFuture<Result<AnyToolResult, _>>`
directly.

This PR keeps the lower-churn shape:

- `ToolHandler` remains generic over `type Output`.
- Concrete handlers use native RPITIT futures with explicit `Send`
bounds.
- `AnyToolHandler` remains the only object-safe adapter and still does
the boxing at the registry boundary, as before.
- The implementation diff is only **33 files, +28/-77**.

The measurements are at least comparable, and in this run this PR is
slightly faster than #16627 on the pass-level total:

| Metric | #16627 | This PR | Delta |
|---|---:|---:|---:|
| `total` | 79.90s | 68.98s | **-13.7%** |
| `generate_crate_metadata` | 25.88s | 24.49s | **-5.4%** |
| `monomorphization_collector_graph_walk` | 23.54s | 22.19s | **-5.7%**
|
| `evaluate_obligation` self-time | 43.29s | 46.91s | +8.4% |

## What changed

Relevant pre-change registry shape:
[`codex-rs/core/src/tools/registry.rs`](https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/0bd31dc382bd1c33dc2bb6b97069c76aa10ba14b/codex-rs/core/src/tools/registry.rs#L38-L219)

Current registry shape in this PR:
[`codex-rs/core/src/tools/registry.rs`](https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/41f7ac0adeac81d667541853d6546267d6083613/codex-rs/core/src/tools/registry.rs#L38-L203)

- `ToolHandler::{is_mutating, handle}` now return native `impl Future +
Send` futures instead of using `#[async_trait]`.
- `AnyToolHandler` remains the object-safe adapter and boxes those
futures at the registry boundary with explicit lifetimes.
- Concrete handlers and the registry test handler drop `#[async_trait]`
but otherwise keep their async method bodies intact.
- Representative examples:
[`codex-rs/core/src/tools/handlers/shell.rs`](https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/41f7ac0adeac81d667541853d6546267d6083613/codex-rs/core/src/tools/handlers/shell.rs#L223-L379),
[`codex-rs/core/src/tools/handlers/unified_exec.rs`](https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/41f7ac0adeac81d667541853d6546267d6083613/codex-rs/core/src/tools/handlers/unified_exec.rs),
[`codex-rs/core/src/tools/registry_tests.rs`](https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/41f7ac0adeac81d667541853d6546267d6083613/codex-rs/core/src/tools/registry_tests.rs)

## Tradeoff

This is intentionally less invasive than #16627: it does **not** move
result boxing into every concrete handler and does **not** change
`ToolHandler` into an object-safe trait.

Instead, it keeps the existing registry-level type-erasure boundary and
only removes the macro-generated async wrapper layer from concrete
impls. So the runtime boxing story stays basically the same as before,
while the compile-time savings are still large.

## Verification

Existing verification for this branch still applies:

- Ran `cargo test -p codex-core`; this change compiled and the suite
reached the known unrelated `config::tests::*guardian*` failures, with
no local diff under `codex-rs/core/src/config/`.

Owen Lin a0fd94bde6 feat(app-server): add ThreadItem::DynamicToolCall (#12732)
Previously, clients would call `thread/start` with dynamic_tools set,
and when a model invokes a dynamic tool, it would just make the
server->client `item/tool/call` request and wait for the client's
response to complete the tool call. This works, but it doesn't have an
`item/started` or `item/completed` event.

Now we are doing this:
- [new] emit `item/started` with `DynamicToolCall` populated with the
call arguments
- send an `item/tool/call` server request
- [new] once the client responds, emit `item/completed` with
`DynamicToolCall` populated with the response.

Also, with `persistExtendedHistory: true`, dynamic tool calls are now
reconstructable in `thread/read` and `thread/resume` as
`ThreadItem::DynamicToolCall`.

Owen Lin 5ea107a088 feat(app-server, core): allow text + image content items for dynamic tool outputs (#10567)
Took over the work that @aaronl-openai started here:
https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/10397

Now that app-server clients are able to set up custom tools (called
`dynamic_tools` in app-server), we should expose a way for clients to
pass in not just text, but also image outputs. This is something the
Responses API already supports for function call outputs, where you can
pass in either a string or an array of content outputs (text, image,
file):
https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/responses/create#responses_create-input-input_item_list-item-function_tool_call_output-output-array-input_image

So let's just plumb it through in Codex (with the caveat that we only
support text and image for now). This is implemented end-to-end across
app-server v2 protocol types and core tool handling.

## Breaking API change
NOTE: This introduces a breaking change with dynamic tools, but I think
it's ok since this concept was only recently introduced
(https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/9539) and it's better to get the
API contract correct. I don't think there are any real consumers of this
yet (not even the Codex App).

Old shape:
`{ "output": "dynamic-ok", "success": true }`

New shape:
```
{
    "contentItems": [
      { "type": "inputText", "text": "dynamic-ok" },
      { "type": "inputImage", "imageUrl": "data:image/png;base64,AAA" }
    ]
  "success": true
}
```

jif-oai d594693d1a feat: dynamic tools injection (#9539)
## Summary
Add dynamic tool injection to thread startup in API v2, wire dynamic
tool calls through the app server to clients, and plumb responses back
into the model tool pipeline.

### Flow (high level)
- Thread start injects `dynamic_tools` into the model tool list for that
thread (validation is done here).
- When the model emits a tool call for one of those names, core raises a
`DynamicToolCallRequest` event.
- The app server forwards it to the client as `item/tool/call`, waits
for the client’s response, then submits a `DynamicToolResponse` back to
core.
- Core turns that into a `function_call_output` in the next model
request so the model can continue.

### What changed
- Added dynamic tool specs to v2 thread start params and protocol types;
introduced `item/tool/call` (request/response) for dynamic tool
execution.
- Core now registers dynamic tool specs at request time and routes those
calls via a new dynamic tool handler.
- App server validates tool names/schemas, forwards dynamic tool call
requests to clients, and publishes tool outputs back into the session.
- Integration tests
