This is a follow-up to https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/15922. That
previous PR deleted the old `tui` directory and left the new
`tui_app_server` directory in place. This PR renames `tui_app_server` to
`tui` and fixes up all references.
This is the part 1 of 2 PRs that will delete the `tui` /
`tui_app_server` split. This part simply deletes the existing `tui`
directory and marks the `tui_app_server` feature flag as removed. I left
the `tui_app_server` feature flag in place for now so its presence
doesn't result in an error. It is simply ignored.
Part 2 will rename the `tui_app_server` directory `tui`. I did this as
two parts to reduce visible code churn.
Enhance pty utils:
* Support closing stdin
* Separate stderr and stdout streams to allow consumers differentiate them
* Provide compatibility helper to merge both streams back into combined one
* Support specifying terminal size for pty, including on-demand resizes while process is already running
* Support terminating the process while still consuming its outputs
When an invalid config.toml key or value is detected, the CLI currently
just quits. This leaves the VSCE in a dead state.
This PR changes the behavior to not quit and bubble up the config error
to users to make it actionable. It also surfaces errors related to
"rules" parsing.
This allows us to surface these errors to users in the VSCE, like this:

Adds an integration test for the new behavior introduced in
https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/9011. The work to create the test
setup was substantial enough that I thought it merited a separate PR.
This integration test spawns `codex` in TUI mode, which requires
spawning a PTY to run successfully, so I had to introduce quite a bit of
scaffolding in `run_codex_cli()`. I was surprised to discover that we
have not done this in our codebase before, so perhaps this should get
moved to a common location so it can be reused.
The test itself verifies that a malformed `rules` in `$CODEX_HOME`
prints a human-readable error message and exits nonzero.
