charley-oai 531748a080 Prompt Expansion: Preserve Text Elements (#9518)
Summary
- Preserve `text_elements` through custom prompt argument parsing and
expansion (named and numeric placeholders).
- Translate text element ranges through Shlex parsing using sentinel
substitution, and rehydrate text + element ranges per arg.
- Drop image attachments when their placeholder does not survive prompt
expansion, keeping attachments consistent with rendered elements.
- Mirror changes in TUI2 and expand tests for prompt parsing/expansion
edge cases.

Tests
- placeholders with spaces as single tokens (positional + key=value,
quoted + unquoted),
  - prompt expansion with image placeholders,
  - large paste + image arg combinations,
  - unused image arg dropped after expansion.

codex-protocol

This crate defines the "types" for the protocol used by Codex CLI, which includes both "internal types" for communication between codex-core and codex-tui, as well as "external types" used with codex app-server.

This crate should have minimal dependencies.

Ideally, we should avoid "material business logic" in this crate, as we can always introduce Ext-style traits to add functionality to types in other crates.
