Brennan Benson 94b5a7d256 fix(native-chat): only Codex's turn completion ends a Codex turn (#23682)
* fix(native-chat): the sink queue keeps a settlement's first batch, as the journal does

The journal applies a lifecycle batch's settlement id once and skips any later
batch with the same id. The deferred sink queue coalesced the same key the other
way: a second batch replaced the first while it was still queued. So which
record survived depended on whether the first had drained yet.

A lifecycle batch now keeps the queued operation with its key, and a later one
is accepted and dropped, which is what the journal does once the first is
written.

* fix(native-chat): only turn/completed ends a Codex turn

Codex follows every turn-ending `error` (willRetry=false) with a failed
`turn/completed` for the same turn, 0-32 ms later. That was captured from the
real app-server on 0.141.0 and 0.158.0 across eight failure scenarios, and it is
how Codex builds a failed turn: it records the error as the turn's last error,
records any pending input, and then derives `failed` from that error when it
completes the turn.

The translator ended the turn twice: once on the error, and again on the
completion, with a guard to make the first end final. Ending on the error threw
away what only the completion carries: Codex's duration, and the completion's
receipt time. It also forgot the turn before Codex recorded the turn's pending
input.

Now the error is only the row the user reads, inside the still-open turn, and
`turn/completed` is the turn's only live end. A process exit between the two is
the existing exit sweep's observed end, recorded as interrupted.

A failed completion is stored as completed with outcome failure, live and on
restore alike. Only `interrupted` maps to the interrupted state.

The first-end-final guard is gone. Codex sends one completion per turn, the only
redelivery Orca has is the retry of a refused frame (which changes nothing), and
the settlement id already keeps the first record in the queue and the journal.

* refactor(codex): delete the unreachable oversized-notification settlement

The translator settled a streamed item when the transport rejected its
notification as oversized. Nothing can produce that frame. The Codex stdio
reader frames with `maxLineBytes: Number.POSITIVE_INFINITY`
(codex-app-server-record-reader.ts), which it has done since the app-server
records were uncapped. With an infinite limit the framer never reports
`line-too-long`: no line, pending suffix or paused queue can exceed it. So the
dispatcher never emits `frame:oversized-notification`, and the arm that settles
it never runs.

The arm, its helper module and its test go. In place of the test, the
connection test now proves the reason: a notification past the old 16 MiB wire
limit arrives whole, and no oversized frame is reported.

* test(codex): replace the captured ids in the turn-endings fixture with synthetic ones

The replay reads ids only to group frames, so the real thread, turn and
response ids from the capture account carry nothing the test needs. The
fixture moves beside the Codex tests that read it.

* test(codex): use a neutral made-up status as the unknown-status example

'cancelled' read as a stop being recorded as a completion.

* test(codex): a restored turn with a status Orca cannot place ends with no verdict

Codex's history carries the same status field as the live completion, so the
restore path is pinned to the same mapping: completed, and no outcome.
