fix(codex-runtime): retire wedged sessions + post-tool watchdog + OAuth refresh classify (#25769)

Mirrors openclaw beta.8's app-server resilience fixes so a stuck codex
subprocess can't burn the full turn deadline and so users get a
`codex login` pointer instead of raw RPC errors when their token expires.

- TurnResult.should_retire signals the caller to drop+respawn codex.
- Deadline-hit path and dead-subprocess detection set should_retire so
  the next turn doesn't ride a CPU-spinning or auth-broken process.
- Post-tool watchdog (post_tool_quiet_timeout=90s): if a tool item
  completes and codex goes silent past the threshold without further
  output or turn/completed, fast-fail instead of waiting the full 600s.
  Resets on any non-tool activity so normal think-after-tool flows are
  not affected.
- <turn_aborted> and <turn_aborted/> in agent text are treated as
  terminal — some codex builds tear down a turn that way without
  emitting turn/completed.
- _classify_oauth_failure() inspects RPC error message + stderr tail
  for invalid_grant / token refresh / 401 / etc. and rewrites
  user-facing errors to 'run codex login'. Conservative: generic
  failures still surface verbatim. Fires at turn/start failure,
  turn/completed failure, and dead-subprocess paths.
- thread/start cross-fill: tolerate thread.id, thread.sessionId,
  top-level sessionId/threadId so future codex schema drift doesn't
  KeyError us at handshake.
- run_agent.py: when run_turn returns should_retire=True OR raises,
  close + null self._codex_session so the next turn respawns.

Tests: +30 cases across session + integration suites.
  tests/agent/transports/test_codex_app_server_session.py 50/50 pass
  tests/run_agent/test_codex_app_server_integration.py 27/27 pass
  Broader codex scope (transports + cli runtime/migration) 376/376 pass
