Rename the Realtime V2 delegation tool and parser constant to
background_agent, and update the tool description and fixtures to match.

Summary:
- parse the realtime call Location header and join that call over the
direct realtime WebSocket
- keep WebRTC starts alive on the existing realtime conversation path
Validation:
- just fmt
- git diff --check
- cargo check -p codex-api
- cargo check -p codex-core --tests
- local cargo tests not run; relying on PR CI
## Summary
- reduce public module visibility across Rust crates, preferring private
or crate-private modules with explicit crate-root public exports
- update external call sites and tests to use the intended public crate
APIs instead of reaching through module trees
- add the module visibility guideline to AGENTS.md
## Validation
- `cargo check --workspace --all-targets --message-format=short` passed
before the final fix/format pass
- `just fix` completed successfully
- `just fmt` completed successfully
- `git diff --check` passed
## Stack Position
2/4. Built on top of #14828.
## Base
- #14828
## Unblocks
- #14829
- #14827
## Scope
- Port the realtime v2 wire parsing, session, app-server, and
conversation runtime behavior onto the split websocket-method base.
- Branch runtime behavior directly on the current realtime session kind
instead of parser-derived flow flags.
- Keep regression coverage in the existing e2e suites.

- add experimental_realtime_ws_mode (conversational/transcription) and
plumb it into realtime conversation session config
- switch realtime websocket intent and session.update payload shape
based on mode
- update config schema and realtime/config tests

- Add a feature-flagged realtime v2 parser on the existing
websocket/session pipeline.
- Wire parser selection from core feature flags and map the codex
handoff tool-call path into existing handoff events.

- migrate the realtime websocket transport to the new session and
handoff flow
- make the realtime model configurable in config.toml and use API-key
auth for the websocket

- Introduce `RealtimeConversationManager` for realtime API management
- Add `op::conversation` to start conversation, insert audio, insert
text, and close conversation.
- emit conversation lifecycle and realtime events.
- Move shared realtime payload types into codex-protocol and add core
e2e websocket tests for start/replace/transport-close paths.
Things to consider:
- Should we use the same `op::` and `Events` channel to carry audio? I
think we should try this simple approach and later we can create
separate one if the channels got congested.
- Sending text updates to the client: we can start simple and later
restrict that.
- Provider auth isn't wired for now intentionally
## Summary
- add realtime websocket client transport in codex-api
- send session.create on connect with backend prompt and optional
conversation_id
- keep session.update for prompt changes after connect
- switch inbound event parsing to a tagged enum (typed variants instead
of optional field bag)
- add a websocket e2e integration test in
codex-rs/codex-api/tests/realtime_websocket_e2e.rs
## Why
This moves the realtime transport to an explicit session-create
handshake and improves protocol safety with typed inbound events.
## Testing
- Added e2e integration test coverage for session create + event flow in
the API crate.
