fix(codex): preserve child answers and tool counts

[Gigioxx]

What Changed

Codex child rows showed assistant message instead of the answer and omitted tool counts. Reuse the existing item-detail formatter and skip empty assistant starts. Persist unique child tool identities and complete usage snapshots in SQLite, so start/completion pairs and replay after restart count once, and later tool updates retain tokens.

Closes #11777.

Why

The panel already renders these fields. The fix stays in the Codex provider and keeps children idle and resumable. Tool identities include provider instance, parent, child, turn, and item. No history backfill; phase-aware final-result persistence remains in #11778.

Verification

• Reproduced both failures in an adapter test before the fix and with a real Codex child in an isolated browser.
• 133 focused adapter, runtime, SQLite, driver, and registry tests pass. Includes database close/reopen, replay deduplication, identity isolation, and retained tokens. Used the installed Vitest entry point because local vp test fails during collection; TMPDIR=/private/tmp avoids macOS path-alias failures in existing installer tests.
• Server typecheck and targeted lint pass.
• Live child shows its answer and 1 tool. After restarting the isolated server and resuming that same child, it shows the new answer, 2 tools, and run 2. Web and desktop share this panel; no client or contract changes.
• Claude Fable 5 reviewed the final patch before opening this PR: no blocking findings.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features

  • Codex child-agent usage is now persisted across session restarts.
  • Token usage is merged safely, and repeated tool notifications are counted only once.
  • Child-agent answers and task summaries are preserved through lifecycle changes.
  • Usage records remain isolated by task, thread, and provider instance.

• Bug Fixes

  • Invalid or incomplete child-agent events are handled more safely.
  • Spurious progress events without recorded usage are suppressed.

Approvability

Verdict: Not approved

Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This targeted Codex fix adds durable SQLite state and changes the live child-event pipeline to aggregate, deduplicate, and replay usage and answer data across restarts. The cross-cutting persistence and runtime behavior warrant human review.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR adds migration 052 for Codex child usage, persists deduplicated tool calls and token totals, integrates persistence into Codex event handling, carries child turn IDs, and updates related tests with SQLite layers.

Changes

Codex child usage persistence

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Usage tables and migration apps/server/src/persistence/Migrations/052_CodexChildUsage.ts, apps/server/src/persistence/Migrations.ts	Adds the codex_child_usage and codex_child_tool_calls tables and registers migration 052.
Transactional usage recording apps/server/src/provider/Layers/codexChildUsage.ts, apps/server/src/provider/Layers/codexChildUsage.test.ts	Records usage in a transaction, deduplicates tool calls, merges token values, and tests persistence across reopened connections and identity boundaries.
Codex event integration apps/server/src/provider/Layers/CodexAdapter.ts, apps/server/src/provider/Layers/CodexSessionRuntime.ts, apps/server/src/provider/Drivers/CodexDriver.ts, apps/server/src/provider/*test.ts	Adds SQL access to Codex services, persists usage from child events, carries child turn IDs, validates event data, filters empty usage events, and provides SQLite persistence in affected tests.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to a8de8

A transient SQLite failure can hide a child’s live token usage even though the provider supplied it. Preserve the original event on persistence failure before merging.
