This PR is a follow-up to #5591. It allows users to choose which auth
storage mode they want by using the new
`cli_auth_credentials_store_mode` config.
This PR introduces a new `Auth Storage` abstraction layer that takes
care of read, write, and load of auth tokens based on the
AuthCredentialsStoreMode. It is similar to how we handle MCP client
oauth
[here](https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/main/codex-rs/rmcp-client/src/oauth.rs).
Instead of reading and writing directly from disk for auth tokens, Codex
CLI workflows now should instead use this auth storage using the public
helper functions.
This PR is just a refactor of the current code so the behavior stays the
same. We will add support for keyring and hybrid mode in follow-up PRs.

This PR does the following:
1. Changes `try_refresh_token` to handle the case where the endpoint
returns a response without an `id_token`. The OpenID spec indicates that
this field is optional and clients should not assume it's present.
2. Changes the `attempt_stream_responses` to propagate token refresh
errors rather than silently ignoring them.
3. Fixes a typo in a couple of error messages (unrelated to the above,
but something I noticed in passing) - "reconnect" should be spelled
without a hyphen.
This PR does not implement the additional suggestion from @pakrym-oai
that we should sign out when receiving `refresh_token_expired` from the
refresh endpoint. Leaving this as a follow-on because I'm undecided on
whether this should be implemented in `try_refresh_token` or its
callers.
## Summary
- wrap the default reqwest::Client inside a new
CodexHttpClient/CodexRequestBuilder pair and log the HTTP method, URL,
and status for each request
- update the auth/model/provider plumbing to use the new builder helpers
so headers and bearer auth continue to be applied consistently
- add the shared `http` dependency that backs the header conversion
helpers

This #[serial] approach is not ideal. I am tracking a separate issue to
create an injectable env var provider but I want to fix these tests
first.
Fixes#5447
We continue the separation between `codex app-server` and `codex
mcp-server`.
In particular, we introduce a new crate, `codex-app-server-protocol`,
and migrate `codex-rs/protocol/src/mcp_protocol.rs` into it, renaming it
`codex-rs/app-server-protocol/src/protocol.rs`.
Because `ConversationId` was defined in `mcp_protocol.rs`, we move it
into its own file, `codex-rs/protocol/src/conversation_id.rs`, and
because it is referenced in a ton of places, we have to touch a lot of
files as part of this PR.
We also decide to get away from proper JSON-RPC 2.0 semantics, so we
also introduce `codex-rs/app-server-protocol/src/jsonrpc_lite.rs`, which
is basically the same `JSONRPCMessage` type defined in `mcp-types`
except with all of the `"jsonrpc": "2.0"` removed.
Getting rid of `"jsonrpc": "2.0"` makes our serialization logic
considerably simpler, as we can lean heavier on serde to serialize
directly into the wire format that we use now.
This addresses bug #4092
Testing:
* Confirmed error occurs prior to fix if logging in using API key and no
`~/.codex` directory exists
* Confirmed after fix that `~/.codex` directory is properly created and
error doesn't occur
When logging in using ChatGPT using the `codex login` command, a
successful login should write a new `auth.json` file with the ChatGPT
token information. The old code attempted to retain the API key and
merge the token information into the existing `auth.json` file. With the
new simplified login mechanism, `auth.json` should have auth information
for only ChatGPT or API Key, not both.
The `codex login --api-key <key>` code path was already doing the right
thing here, but the `codex login` command was incorrect. This PR fixes
the problem and adds test cases for both commands.
Created this PR by:
- adding `redundant_clone` to `[workspace.lints.clippy]` in
`cargo-rs/Cargol.toml`
- running `cargo clippy --tests --fix`
- running `just fmt`
Though I had to clean up one instance of the following that resulted:
```rust
let codex = codex;
```
This PR does the following:
* Adds the ability to paste or type an API key.
* Removes the `preferred_auth_method` config option. The last login
method is always persisted in auth.json, so this isn't needed.
* If OPENAI_API_KEY env variable is defined, the value is used to
prepopulate the new UI. The env variable is otherwise ignored by the
CLI.
* Adds a new MCP server entry point "login_api_key" so we can implement
this same API key behavior for the VS Code extension.

The previous config approach had a few issues:
1. It is part of the config but not designed to be used externally
2. It had to be wired through many places (look at the +/- on this PR
3. It wasn't guaranteed to be set consistently everywhere because we
don't have a super well defined way that configs stack. For example, the
extension would configure during newConversation but anything that
happened outside of that (like login) wouldn't get it.
This env var approach is cleaner and also creates one less thing we have
to deal with when coming up with a better holistic story around configs.
One downside is that I removed the unit test testing for the override
because I don't want to deal with setting the global env or spawning
child processes and figuring out how to introspect their originator
header. The new code is sufficiently simple and I tested it e2e that I
feel as if this is still worth it.
