CODEX FIXES WINDOWS EXECUTION BUGS WHILE TIGHTENING SECURITY REVIEW GATES

Codex shipped critical fixes for Windows process management and terminal navigation that were silently breaking execution sessions on Windows machines.

Two production-grade Windows bugs landed overnight that explain intermittent failures developers have been seeing in TUI navigation and background process handling. The navigation fix [1] addresses a deeper issue where Crossterm's Windows backend was receiving literal escape bytes instead of proper input records when virtual terminal input mode got restored, making arrow keys and other controls unreliable. The process termination fix [2] ensures child processes actually die when a session is cancelled or times out on Windows, while still preserving background descendants on normal exit. These aren't edge cases. In parallel, Codex tightened its auto-review pipeline with new security policy defaults [3] that configure permission gates for `danger_full_access`, `workspace_write`, and `read_only` contexts. The team also fixed a metric pollution issue [4] where skill names with special characters were breaking observability, and shipped support for paginated model context across rollout lineages [5] to handle more complex session state loading.
