fix(codex): show web search query and url in tool call details

[GuilhermeVieiraDev]

What Changed

Codex webSearch tool calls now surface the actual query or opened URL in the work log detail instead of falling back to the generic Web search label with no useful context.

The adapter now checks item.query, then item.action.query, then item.action.url when building the detail string for web_search items.

Closes #1909.

Why

Right now Codex web search calls are not transparent enough. The work log just shows Web search, so there is no way to tell what the agent actually searched for or which URL it opened.

I kept the extra candidates isolated to web_search so this does not change detail precedence for other tool types that might also carry query or url fields.

Note

Low Risk
Display-only adapter mapping scoped to web_search items; other item types keep the same detail precedence.

Overview
Codex web search work-log entries now show a meaningful detail string (search query, query list, pattern, or opened URL) instead of only the generic Web search title.

itemDetail in CodexAdapter.ts now takes itemType and, for web_search items only, prefers item.query, action.query, action.queries, action.pattern, and action.url before the existing command/title/summary fields. Item lifecycle and plan-completion mapping pass itemType through unchanged for other tool types.

Note

Show web search query and URL in tool call details for Codex

Updates itemDetail in CodexAdapter.ts to extract query, queries, pattern, and url fields from web search items and their action objects. These fields are prepended as candidate detail sources when itemType === "web_search", so runtime events for started/updated/completed items now surface the search query or URL in the detail field. Non-web-search behavior is unchanged.
