CODEX FIXES RACE CONDITIONS AND STABILIZES STREAMING PIPELINE

Codex shipped five architectural fixes overnight that eliminate liveness races in side conversations, stabilize the Markdown streaming stack, and cut TUI layout time significantly.

The most critical change addresses a timing bug where side conversation notifications could arrive after the fork response, causing incorrect unavailability reports [1]. This is fixed by seeding agent navigation from the fork response itself before thread selection. In parallel, the streaming pipeline got a structural upgrade: the Markdown collector is now the source of truth for rendered output, with the streaming controller reading directly from committed byte ranges instead of maintaining duplicate buffers [2]. This eliminates a class of synchronization bugs between renderer and controller. On the performance side, TUI Markdown layout got a 3x speedup through bulk table width allocation and a single forward scan for hyperlink remapping instead of per-cell processing [3]. Two smaller but important fixes landed: legacy exec policy rules now migrate cleanly on startup without breaking user-created rules [4], and command completion is now tracked independently from output streaming, so interrupted turns won't be marked inactive prematurely [5].
