## Summary
- set the realtime v2 server VAD silence delay to 500ms
- update the default realtime 1.5 backend prompt to the v4 text
- keep the session payload and prompt rendering tests aligned with those
changes
## Why
- the VAD change gives the voice path a longer pause before ending the
user's turn
- the prompt change makes the default bundled realtime prompt match the
current v4 content
## Validation
- `cargo +1.93.0 test -p codex-core realtime_prompt --manifest-path
/tmp/codex-realtime-v2-vad-prompt-v4/codex-rs/Cargo.toml`
- `CARGO_TARGET_DIR=/tmp/codex-pr-v4-target cargo +1.93.0 test -p

or validation may help.

- Adds a core-owned realtime backend prompt template and preparation
path.
- Makes omitted realtime start prompts use the core default, while null
or empty prompts intentionally send empty instructions.

coverage.
