539f4b290e fix: add support for exec and apply_patch approvals in the new wire format (#2286)
Now when `CodexMessageProcessor` receives either a
`EventMsg::ApplyPatchApprovalRequest` or a
`EventMsg::ExecApprovalRequest`, it sends the appropriate request from
the server to the client. When it gets a response, it forwards it on to
the `CodexConversation`.

Note this takes a lot of code from:


https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/main/codex-rs/mcp-server/src/conversation_loop.rs

https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/main/codex-rs/mcp-server/src/exec_approval.rs

https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/main/codex-rs/mcp-server/src/patch_approval.rs

I am copy/pasting for now because I am trying to consolidate around the
new `wire_format.rs`, so I plan to delete these other files soon.

Now that we have requests going both from client-to-server and
server-to-client, I renamed `CodexRequest` to `ClientRequest`.

a62510e0ae fix: verify notifications are sent with the conversationId set (#2278)
This updates `CodexMessageProcessor` so that each notification it sends
for a `EventMsg` from a `CodexConversation` such that:

- The `params` always has an appropriate `conversationId` field.
- The `method` is now includes the name of the `EventMsg` type rather
than using `codex/event` as the `method` type for all notifications. (We
currently prefix the method name with `codex/event/`, but I think that
should go away once we formalize the notification schema in
`wire_format.rs`.)

As part of this, we update `test_codex_jsonrpc_conversation_flow()` to
verify that the `task_finished` notification has made it through the
system instead of sleeping for 5s and "hoping" the server finished
processing the task. Note we have seen some flakiness in some of our
other, similar integration tests, and I expect adding a similar check
would help in those cases, as well.

e7bad650ff feat: support traditional JSON-RPC request/response in MCP server (#2264)
This introduces a new set of request types that our `codex mcp`
supports. Note that these do not conform to MCP tool calls so that
instead of having to send something like this:

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "method": "tools/call",
  "id": 42,
  "params": {
    "name": "newConversation",
    "arguments": {
      "model": "gpt-5",
      "approvalPolicy": "on-request"
    }
  }
}
```

we can send something like this:


```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "method": "newConversation",
  "id": 42,
  "params": {
    "model": "gpt-5",
    "approvalPolicy": "on-request"
  }
}
```

Admittedly, this new format is not a valid MCP tool call, but we are OK
with that right now. (That is, not everything we might want to request
of `codex mcp` is something that is appropriate for an autonomous agent
to do.)

To start, this introduces four request types:

- `newConversation`
- `sendUserMessage`
- `addConversationListener`
- `removeConversationListener`

The new `mcp-server/tests/codex_message_processor_flow.rs` shows how
these can be used.

The types are defined on the `CodexRequest` enum, so we introduce a new
`CodexMessageProcessor` that is responsible for dealing with requests
from this enum. The top-level `MessageProcessor` has been updated so
that when `process_request()` is called, it first checks whether the
request conforms to `CodexRequest` and dispatches it to
`CodexMessageProcessor` if so.

Note that I also decided to use `camelCase` for the on-the-wire format,
as that seems to be the convention for MCP.

For the moment, the new protocol is defined in `wire_format.rs` within
the `mcp-server` crate, but in a subsequent PR, I will probably move it
to its own crate to ensure the protocol has minimal dependencies and
that we can codegen a schema from it.
