Dotta cf6db7b523 feat(runner): bridge Codex dynamic tools (#12382)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The native runner keeps provider execution separate from Paperclip
tool authority.
> - The Rust authorization bridge can now validate a run-scoped semantic
tool catalog.
> - Codex still needs a bounded protocol adapter for that validated
catalog.
> - The adapter must advertise the same catalog after provider recovery.
> - The adapter must reject unadvertised calls and mismatched results.
> - This pull request adds that Codex-only transport boundary.
> - The benefit is a fail-closed provider bridge that remains inactive
until durable wiring supplies tools.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

`packages/paperclip-runner` and its Rust Codex app-server provider.

**Problem or motivation**

The native runner has a validated semantic tool catalog, but the Rust
Codex provider cannot project that catalog or correlate Codex tool calls
with Paperclip results. A resumed Codex thread also needs the same
run-scoped catalog.

**Proposed solution**

Add an explicit Codex start path that accepts validated tools. Send
those tools through `dynamicTools` for both thread start and thread
resume. Validate thread, turn, call, operation, result identity, and
size before data crosses the provider boundary.

**Roadmap alignment**

This work supports the shipped governed MCP Tool Gateway and
self-healing run milestones. It does not add a user-facing adapter or
enable the experimental runner.

## What Changed

- Add a Codex dynamic-tool projection for explicit authorized tool sets.
- Advertise the same tool set on new and resumed provider threads.
- Correlate bounded Codex tool calls and Paperclip semantic results.
- Reject calls outside the active thread or turn, unadvertised tools,
reused request identities, mismatched results, and oversized values.
- Keep the current durable backend on the zero-tool path until the next
wiring change.
- Extend the fake Codex app server and integration tests for success,
recovery, denial, and correlation behavior.

## Verification

- `cargo test --manifest-path
packages/paperclip-runner/runner/Cargo.toml --workspace`
- `cargo clippy --manifest-path
packages/paperclip-runner/runner/Cargo.toml --workspace --all-targets --
-D warnings -A clippy::manual_is_multiple_of -A
clippy::filter_map_bool_then`
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm build`
- The PR changes 4 files relative to `runner-rust-semantic-tool-bridge`.

## Risks

Low activation risk. The existing `CodexProvider::start` path still
supplies an empty tool set. The durable backend treats a tool event as
an error until a later PR attaches the durable authorization bridge. The
new transport rejects unknown tools and invalid provider bindings.

with planned core work may need to be redirected — check the roadmap

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex with GPT-5 and repository tool use.
