Adopt Codex `/export`, `codex exec fork`, and thread cost status

Codex CLI rust-v0.148.0 adds Markdown export via /export, session fork/archive/restore, startup prompt drafting, thread credit/cost in /status, Bedrock Runtime, and async/MCP hooks—use them to make session reuse, cost visibility, and automation first-class.

Why this loop

rust-v0.148.0 makes session reuse and cost visible in the TUI and exec path. /export writes a complete conversation to Markdown (clipboard or a new file), so handoffs no longer depend on terminal scrollback. codex exec fork plus resume-picker archive/restore let you branch a thread and park the parent; resumed sessions restore persisted cwd and approval policy with more accurate transcript previews. You can draft the next prompt while the TUI initializes, with resume/fork progress shown at startup. Eligible workspaces show estimated thread credits/cost in /status, status lines, and terminal titles. Amazon Bedrock Runtime is a built-in provider (AWS profile, region, GPT-5.6 routing). Hooks can run commands asynchronously and invoke MCP tools. Model/settings updates no longer leave stale instructions or mutate an in-flight turn; turns reconnect through temporary provider outages; MCP recovers after OAuth reauth without restarting Codex; sandbox path denials fail closed on Linux and Windows. Treat export, fork/archive, and cost status as default workflow.

Proposed actions

  1. In the Codex TUI, run /export and write the full conversation Markdown to ./codex-exports/<session-id>.md (or the clipboard); attach or commit that file on any PR or handoff from this thread.
  2. From the repo, run codex exec fork on the current session to branch a new thread; in the TUI resume picker archive the parent, then restore it only when you need the original persisted working directory and approval policy.
  3. While the TUI is still initializing, draft the next prompt (resume/fork progress is shown at startup). After attach, run /status and confirm estimated thread credits/cost appear in /status, the status line, and the terminal title for this eligible workspace; record those numbers before and after a fork.
  4. Switch this workspace to Codex’s built-in Amazon Bedrock Runtime provider using the local AWS profile and region, with GPT-5.6 routing enabled; remove any custom Bedrock HTTP/proxy shim.
  5. Update project hooks so command hooks run asynchronously and invoke MCP tools from the hook; verify a hook can call an MCP tool without blocking the turn, and that a mid-session model or settings change does not rewrite stale instructions or alter the active turn.
