Clark DuVall 346070a424 Route opted-in MCP elicitations through Guardian (#19431)
# Motivation

Browser Use origin-access prompts are MCP elicitations, not direct
tool-call approval prompts, so they were bypassing the Guardian approval
path. We need a generic opt-in that lets eligible MCP elicitations use
Guardian when the current turn already routes approvals there.

# Description

Add a generic elicitation reviewer hook in codex-mcp and wire codex-core
to pass a Guardian reviewer callback when creating the MCP connection
manager. The reviewer validates explicit mcp_tool_call opt-in metadata,
builds a Guardian MCP tool-call review request from
server/tool/connector metadata and tool params, and maps Guardian
approval, denial, timeout, and cancellation decisions back to MCP
elicitation responses.

The new option to trigger this in the `_meta` object is:
```
"codex_request_type": "approval_request",
```

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.
