## Summary
- add a kill buffer to the text area and wire Ctrl+Y to yank it
- capture text from Ctrl+W, Ctrl+U, and Ctrl+K operations into the kill
buffer
- add regression coverage ensuring the last kill can be yanked back

This adds `parsed_cmd: Vec<ParsedCommand>` to `ExecApprovalRequestEvent`
in the core protocol (`protocol/src/protocol.rs`), which is also what
this field is named on `ExecCommandBeginEvent`. Honestly, I don't love
the name (it sounds like a single command, but it is actually a list of
them), but I don't want to get distracted by a naming discussion right
now.
This also adds `parsed_cmd` to `ExecCommandApprovalParams` in
`codex-rs/app-server-protocol/src/protocol.rs`, so it will be available
via `codex app-server`, as well.
For consistency, I also updated `ExecApprovalElicitRequestParams` in
`codex-rs/mcp-server/src/exec_approval.rs` to include this field under
the name `codex_parsed_cmd`, as that struct already has a number of
special `codex_*` fields. Note this is the code for when Codex is used
as an MCP _server_ and therefore has to conform to the official spec for
an MCP elicitation type.
Note these two types were identical, so it seems clear to standardize on the one in `codex_protocol` and eliminate the `Into` stuff.

1. If Codex detects that a `codex mcp add -url …` server supports oauth,
it will auto-initiate the login flow.
2. If the TUI starts and a MCP server supports oauth but isn't logged
in, it will give the user an explicit warning telling them to log in.
Tightened the CLI integration tests to stop relying on wall-clock
sleeps—new fs watcher helper waits for session files instead of timing
out, and SSE mocks/fixtures make the flows deterministic.
keep a 1 cell margin at the right edge of the screen in the composer
(and in the user message in history).
this lets us print clear-to-EOL 1 char before the end of the line in
history, so that resizing the terminal will keep the background color
(at least in iterm/terminal.app). it also stops the cursor in the
textarea from floating off the right edge.

Add proper feature flag instead of having custom flags for everything.
This is just for experimental/wip part of the code
It can be used through CLI:
```bash
codex --enable unified_exec --disable view_image_tool
```
Or in the `config.toml`
```toml
# Global toggles applied to every profile unless overridden.
[features]
apply_patch_freeform = true
view_image_tool = false
```
Follow-up:
In a following PR, the goal is to have a default have `bundles` of
features that we can associate to a model
Refactor trust_directory to use ColumnRenderable & friends, thus
correcting wrapping behavior at small widths. Also introduce
RowRenderable with fixed-width rows.
- fixed wrapping in trust_directory
- changed selector cursor to match other list item selections
- allow y/n to work as well as 1/2
- fixed key_hint to be standard

This adds a queryable auth status for MCP servers which is useful:
1. To determine whether a streamable HTTP server supports auth or not
based on whether or not it supports RFC 8414-3.2
2. Allow us to build a better user experience on top of MCP status
Instead of querying all 256 terminal colors on startup, which was slow
in some terminals, hardcode the default xterm palette.
Additionally, tweak the shimmer so that it blends between default_fg and
default_bg, instead of "dark gray" (according to the terminal) and pure
white (regardless of terminal theme).
Clear the history cursor before checking for duplicate submissions so
sending the same message twice exits history mode. This prevents Up/Down
from staying stuck in history browsing after duplicate sends.
1. You can now add streamable http servers via the CLI
2. As part of this, I'm also changing the existing bearer_token plain
text config field with ane env var
```
mcp add github --url https://api.githubcopilot.com/mcp/ --bearer-token-env-var=GITHUB_PAT
```
