Neil 4e3170a76e fix(accounts): free the account queue when a sign-in is abandoned, and show the Codex sign-in link (#21372)
* fix(accounts): free the account queue when a sign-in is abandoned

Closing Settings mid sign-in left the `codex login` / `claude auth login`
child running, and every account mutation shares one FIFO queue, so the
next Add Account sat behind it for the login's whole deadline and then
inherited the abandoned call's timeout toast.

Cancel the pending login before enqueueing the next add or reauth (never
inside the queue the abandoned login owns), give Codex the cancel handle
and Cancel button Claude already had, and stop reporting a cancellation
as a failure.

Also surface the sign-in link Codex prints, with copy and open, so the
flow can be finished in a private window or another browser profile.

* test(accounts): drop the bare casts CI's changed-code gate rejects

The service doubles still need a cast; one documented helper per file
carries the SAFETY rationale instead of nine bare `as never`s.

* fix(codex): a cancel must not discard a sign-in that already succeeded

The Windows post-auth watcher gives a lingering codex login five seconds
to exit after it writes auth.json. A cancel arriving in that window
rejected the login, and the caller's rollback then deleted the managed
home that had just authenticated.

Refuse the cancel once new credential bytes exist: there is nothing left
to cancel, and the close handler already treats that state as success.

Found by review of #21372.

* fix(codex): keep a refused cancel cancellable, and require the sign-in notice

Review of the auth-aware cancel guard found two holes it opened:

- The outer handle latched `cancelled` before asking the session, so a
  refusal killed cancellation for the rest of the deadline. On a host
  with no post-auth watcher that reinstated the very stall this PR
  removes. Latch only when the cancel is accepted.
- WSL never reads a pre-spawn baseline, so the guard read the auth.json
  that was already there and refused from the first click, making a WSL
  reauthentication uncancellable. Require a baseline before refusing.

Also from review: publish the sign-in link from a stdout-only buffer, so
an interleaved stderr chunk cannot truncate it; require codex's own
"navigate to this URL" notice rather than offering the first link in the
output; hide the notice in a remote account scope, where it would name a
login running on this desktop; and share the cancellation message
instead of matching a duplicated literal.

The Claude case joins the login-process suite that already owns the two
neighbouring cancel cases, and the auth-snapshot helpers move out of the
session file, which the additions pushed over the line cap.

* refactor(codex): cut the sign-in-link plumbing to its smallest form

Review found the change correct but larger than it needs to be:

- The pending-link store was a class with one permanent subscriber, a
  never-called unsubscribe and a try/catch that could not fire. It is a
  field and a listener set on the service, beside the cancel handle it
  already owned — and the service now clears both in one place.
- The optional login-session dependencies were always supplied.
- The parser's https check could not fail; the pattern already fixed the
  scheme. The renderer's unmount guard inside a synchronous IPC listener
  could not fire either.
- The broadcast channel and the cancellation message are single sources
  of truth in src/shared now, rather than exported next to a hardcoded
  copy of themselves.
- The duplicated seven-line rationale in both services says the same
  thing in three, including why only add and reauthenticate supersede.
- The codex suite reuses its own factory, and unmocks once.

Also reverts four reformat hunks the formatter pulled in around edits.

* fix(accounts): free the queue for a switch, not only for another add

Switching or removing an account shares the mutation queue an abandoned
sign-in was holding, so the commonest thing a user does after giving up
— pick a different account — still spun for the whole deadline while Add
recovered instantly. Both now supersede, as does the Claude side.

Every caller is a person: the two IPC handlers and the mobile RPC
methods. No poll, sync or CLI path reaches them, and a sign-in that
already wrote credentials refuses the cancel, so a switch cannot discard
one that succeeded.

Also from review: the Cancel button regains the gap its Claude twin has
(layout is allowed by the design-system rule; only the colour override
was not), and the URL subscription says what it is — registration for
the process's lifetime, with no teardown to hand back.
