## Summary
Add first-class Amazon Bedrock Mantle provider support so Codex can keep
using its existing Responses API transport with OpenAI-compatible
AWS-hosted endpoints such as AOA/Mantle.
This is needed for the AWS launch path, where provider traffic should
authenticate with AWS credentials instead of OpenAI bearer credentials.
Requests are authenticated immediately before transport send, so SigV4
signs the final method, URL, headers, and body bytes that `reqwest` will
send.
## What Changed
- Added a new `codex-aws-auth` crate for loading AWS SDK config,
resolving credentials, and signing finalized HTTP requests with AWS
SigV4.
- Added a built-in `amazon-bedrock` provider that targets Bedrock Mantle
Responses endpoints, defaults to `us-east-1`, supports region/profile
overrides, disables WebSockets, and does not require OpenAI auth.
- Added Amazon Bedrock auth resolution in `codex-model-provider`: prefer
`AWS_BEARER_TOKEN_BEDROCK` when set, otherwise use AWS SDK credentials
and SigV4 signing.
- Added `AuthProvider::apply_auth` and `Request::prepare_body_for_send`
so request-signing providers can sign the exact outbound request after
JSON serialization/compression.
- Determine the region by taking the `aws.region` config first (required
for bearer token codepath), and fallback to SDK default region.
## Testing
Amazon Bedrock Mantle Responses paths:
- Built the local Codex binary with `cargo build`.
- Verified the custom proxy-backed `aws` provider using `env_key =
"AWS_BEARER_TOKEN_BEDROCK"` streamed raw `responses` output with
`response.output_text.delta`, `response.completed`, and `mantle-env-ok`.
- Verified a full `codex exec --profile aws` turn returned
`mantle-env-ok`.
- Confirmed the custom provider used the bearer env var, not AWS profile
auth: bogus `AWS_PROFILE` still passed, empty env var failed locally,
and malformed env var reached Mantle and failed with `401
invalid_api_key`.
- Verified built-in `amazon-bedrock` with `AWS_BEARER_TOKEN_BEDROCK` set
passed despite bogus AWS profiles, returning `amazon-bedrock-env-ok`.
- Verified built-in `amazon-bedrock` SDK/SigV4 auth passed with
`AWS_BEARER_TOKEN_BEDROCK` unset and temporary AWS session env
credentials, returning `amazon-bedrock-sdk-env-ok`.
Adds WebRTC startup to the experimental app-server
`thread/realtime/start` method with an optional transport enum. The
websocket path remains the default; WebRTC offers create the realtime
session through the shared start flow and emit the answer SDP via
`thread/realtime/sdp`.

Adds a new feature
`enable_request_compression` that will compress using zstd requests to
the codex-backend. Currently only enabled for codex-backend so only enabled for openai providers when using chatgpt::auth even when the feature is enabled
Added a new info log line too for evaluating the compression ratio and
overhead off compressing before requesting. You can enable with
`RUST_LOG=$RUST_LOG,codex_client::transport=info`
