jif-oai d927f61208 feat: add remote compaction v2 Responses client path (#20773)
## Why

This adds the `remote_compaction_v2` client path so remote compaction
can run through the normal Responses stream and install a
`context_compaction` item that trigger a compaction.

The goal is to migrate some of the compaction logic on the client side

We keeps the v2 transport behind a feature flag while letting follow-up
requests reuse the compacted context instead of falling back to the
legacy compaction item shape.

## What changed

- add `ResponseItem::ContextCompaction` and refresh the generated
app-server / schema / TypeScript fixtures that expose response items on
the wire
- add `core/src/compact_remote_v2.rs` to send compaction through the
standard streamed Responses client, require exactly one
`context_compaction` output item, and install that item into compacted
history
- route manual compact and auto-compaction through the v2 path when
`remote_compaction_v2` is enabled, while keeping the existing remote
compaction path as the fallback
- preserve the new item type across history retention, follow-up request
construction, telemetry, rollout persistence, and rollout-trace
normalization
- add targeted coverage for the feature flag, `context_compaction`
serialization, rollout-trace normalization, and remote-compaction
follow-up behavior

## Verification

- added protocol tests for `context_compaction`
serialization/deserialization in `protocol/src/models.rs`
- added rollout-trace coverage for `context_compaction` normalization in
`rollout-trace/src/reducer/conversation_tests.rs`
- added remote compaction integration coverage for v2 follow-up reuse
and mixed compaction output streams in
`core/tests/suite/compact_remote.rs`

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.
