This cleans up a bunch of metric plumbing that had started to drift.
The main change is making `codex-otel` the canonical home for shared
metric definitions and metric tag helpers. I moved the `turn/thread`
metric names that were still duplicated into the OTEL metric registry,
added a shared `metrics::tags` module for common tag keys and session
tag construction, and updated `SessionTelemetry` to build its metadata
tags through that shared path.
On the codex-core side, TTFT/TTFM now use the shared metric-name
constants instead of local string definitions. I also switched the
obvious remaining turn/thread metric callsites over to the shared
constants, and added a small helper so TTFT/TTFM can attach an optional
sanitized client.name tag from TurnContext.
This should make follow-on telemetry work less ad hoc:
- one canonical place for metric names
- one canonical place for common metric tag keys/builders
- less duplication between `codex-core` and `codex-otel`
## Summary
This is a purely mechanical refactor of `OtelManager` ->
`SessionTelemetry` to better convey what the struct is doing. No
behavior change.
## Why
`OtelManager` ended up sounding much broader than what this type
actually does. It doesn't manage OTEL globally; it's the session-scoped
telemetry surface for emitting log/trace events and recording metrics
with consistent session metadata (`app_version`, `model`, `slug`,
`originator`, etc.).
`SessionTelemetry` is a more accurate name, and updating the call sites
makes that boundary a lot easier to follow.
## Validation
- `just fmt`
- `cargo test -p codex-otel`
- `cargo test -p codex-core`
### Summary
This adds turn-level latency metrics for the first model output and the
first completed agent message.
- `codex.turn.ttft.duration_ms` starts at turn start and records on the
first output signal we see from the model. That includes normal
assistant text, reasoning deltas, and non-text outputs like tool-call
items.
- `codex.turn.ttfm.duration_ms` also starts at turn start, but it
records when the first agent message finishes streaming rather than when
its first delta arrives.
### Implementation notes
The timing is tracked in codex-core, not app-server, so the definition
stays consistent across CLI, TUI, and app-server clients.
I reused the existing turn lifecycle boundary that already drives
`codex.turn.e2e_duration_ms`, stored the turn start timestamp in turn
state, and record each metric once per turn.
I also wired the new metric names into the OTEL runtime metrics summary
so they show up in the same in-memory/debug snapshot path as the
existing timing metrics.
