Brian Henzelmann 8f5d68f9d2 Document Codex git commit attribution config (#21379)
## Summary
- document that commit attribution for generated git commit messages is
gated by the `codex_git_commit` feature flag
- add an example `config.toml` snippet showing `commit_attribution` with
`[features].codex_git_commit = true`
- update the config schema description so the reference docs explain
that `commit_attribution` only takes effect when the feature is enabled

Fixes #19799.

## Validation
- `cargo run -p codex-core --bin codex-write-config-schema`
- `cargo test -p codex-config`
- `cargo test -p codex-features`
- `cargo fmt --check`
- `git diff --check`

## Notes
- `cargo test -p codex-core config_schema_matches_fixture` currently
fails before reaching the schema test because `core_test_support`
imports `similar` without a linked crate in this checkout. The narrower
package checks above avoid that unrelated test-support build failure.

Commit attribution

Codex can add a git trailer to generated commit messages so commits make Codex's involvement explicit. This behavior is gated by the codex_git_commit feature flag; the top-level commit_attribution setting is only used when that feature is enabled.

Add the following to ~/.codex/config.toml:

commit_attribution = "Codex <noreply@openai.com>"

[features]
codex_git_commit = true

When enabled, Codex appends a Co-authored-by: trailer using the configured attribution value. If commit_attribution is omitted, Codex uses Codex <noreply@openai.com>. Set commit_attribution = "" to disable the trailer while leaving the feature flag enabled.
