feat(server): add guarded idle session stops

[shwarmadev]

What Changed

• Add an opt-in guarded form of thread.session.stop for maintenance clients.
• Require the expected Codex provider, an idle session, no active or queued turn, no pending request, no background liveness, and an unchanged non-future thread snapshot.
• Recheck safety in the provider reactor before stopping and advertise support through the environment capability descriptor.
• Return guarded and replayed guard rejections as invalid requests so clients can distinguish them from access failures.
• Preserve existing unguarded stop and unrelated dispatch behavior.

Why

Codex app-server processes retain credentials in memory. Account-control clients need a safe way to replace only idle Codex sessions after auth.json changes without interrupting active work or other providers.

Consumer

• https://github.com/Possibility-Laboratories/fastlane-control/pull/4

Tests

• 129 original focused server tests passed before the review follow-up.
• 26 decider tests pass after the follow-up, including future snapshot rejection.
• 2 guarded HTTP rejection/replay integration tests pass on Node 24.13.1.
• 383 contract tests passed; contract typecheck passed.
• Changed production files pass strict lint and changed-file type-error filtering.

Checklist

• This PR is small and focused
• I explained what changed and why
• No UI changes

Approvability

Verdict: Not approved

Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This PR adds a production orchestration capability that can stop idle Codex sessions through a new guarded command path. Because its stated purpose involves auth.json changes and credentials held in provider processes, the authentication-sensitive runtime impact warrants human review.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds guarded Codex session stops. Commands carry idle and snapshot guards, orchestration validates freshness and background activity, and the provider reactor rechecks liveness before stopping. The server advertises the capability and maps guarded rejections to invalid commands.

Changes

Guarded session stop

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Stop command contracts and capability packages/contracts/src/orchestration.ts, packages/contracts/src/environment.ts, packages/contracts/src/*.test.ts, apps/server/src/environment/*	Stop commands and events accept idle guards, snapshot sequences, and expected provider metadata. The server advertises guardedSessionStop.
Guarded stop decision policy apps/server/src/orchestration/SessionStopPolicy.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration/decider.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration/decider.settled.test.ts	The shared policy permits only idle Codex sessions. The decider validates the guard and emits its metadata.
Execution-time stop guards apps/server/src/orchestration/Layers/OrchestrationEngine*, apps/server/src/orchestration/Layers/ProviderCommandReactor*	The orchestration engine rejects stale snapshots and live background work. The provider reactor rechecks liveness and skips the stop when the session is not idle.
Guarded stop HTTP errors apps/server/src/orchestration/http.ts, apps/server/src/server.test.ts	Guarded invariant and previously rejected commands return HTTP 400 responses with invalid_command.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to f4802

A guarded maintenance stop can terminate a session after newer work ran and settled, violating the feature’s unchanged-snapshot safety guarantee. This should be fixed before merge.

1725-1730: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Preserve snapshotSequence in the stop-request event

When onlyIfIdle is enabled, include snapshotSequence in thread.session-stop-requested. ProviderCommandReactor.processSessionStopRequested currently checks only the latest thread shell. A newer turn can start and finish before the reactor handles the event, leaving the shell idle while the snapshot is stale. The reactor can then call stopSession for a session that the guarded command did not authorize. Skip the stop when thread events newer than snapshotSequence exist.

Thanks for the PR. We're not taking changes to the orchestration and provider layers right now: that part of the server is being rewritten for V2, and merging into the current code would either conflict with or be thrown away by that work.

Closing for now. If this is still an issue once V2 lands, please reopen (or open a fresh PR against the new code) and we'll take a proper look.
