Udhdhav kheni 4dc3516bcc fix(codex): a CLI that cannot execute no longer reports CODEX_MODE: ready
Follow-up to #2477. The model probe it added does a real round trip, but its
final branch is the `else` of a "model 400" grep, so it swallowed spawn ENOENT,
non-executable binaries and missing vendor payloads alongside genuine network
timeouts. All three are deterministic — retrying never helps — yet they landed
in the fail-open bucket and resolved to `ready`, so every Codex pass was
skipped in silence and the review reported itself complete.

Observed live: @openai/codex was on PATH with an empty
vendor/aarch64-apple-darwin/codex/ directory. gstack said `ready` for two
months while no Codex pass ran.

Three changes:

- `_gstack_codex_model_probe` classifies deterministic install failures (exit
  126/127, or stderr matching ENOENT/ENOEXEC/EACCES/"cannot execute binary
  file") as MODEL_UNUSABLE_INSTALL, exit 2, never cached — a reinstall is
  picked up on the next probe. Exit 124 and genuine transients still fail open,
  which is what #2477 intended.

- The preflight chain captures the probe's code instead of testing it for
  truthiness, so exit 2 routes to a new `broken_install` mode whose remedy is
  `npm install -g @openai/codex` rather than "check your model pin". A missing
  binary and an unusable model are different problems with different fixes.

- `_gstack_codex_version_check` no longer reads a broken CLI as healthy. It ran
  `codex --version 2>/dev/null | head -1`, which captures head's status, not
  codex's — and 2>/dev/null discarded the one diagnostic available. It now
  captures the real exit code and warns on non-zero. Empty-but-successful
  output stays silent, per the existing "empty output → OK" case.

Tests: 6 added to test/codex-hardening.test.ts covering both broken-install
shapes, the exit-2 contract, no caching, the transient still failing open, the
model 400 still classifying as MODEL_UNUSABLE, and the version-check warning.
845 pass / 0 fail across all 8 suites touching the changed files.

Closes #2742

Wave-amended: autoplan hand-maintained preflight chain completed (tmpl+render); install-signature grep gated on failed spawn only; goldens regenerated against the wave tree (author's golden commit 5797d326 superseded); +2 tests

# --- Model round-trip probe (#2477) ------------------------------------------
_gstack_codex_model_probe() {
# Auth-exists is a weaker signal than the auth probe implies: a ChatGPT
# account with a stale `model = "..."` pin in ~/.codex/config.toml passes
# the auth probe, then EVERY invocation dies with an HTTP 400 ("The
# '<model>' model is not supported when using Codex with a ChatGPT
# account") and no guidance. A short real round trip with the configured
# model catches model rejection, entitlement changes, and stale pins in
# one shot (#2477).
#
# Contract:
# MODEL_OK (exit 0) — round trip succeeded; cached 1h.
# MODEL_UNUSABLE (exit 1) — deterministic model 400; hints printed.
# Cached 15 min: the 400 is config-driven, so re-probing every preflight
# charged the affected user a 30s round trip + real tokens per review
# section, forever. Editing config.toml (the fix) changes the cache
# signature and re-probes immediately; the short TTL covers server-side
# entitlement recovery the signature can't see.
# MODEL_UNUSABLE_INSTALL (exit 2) — the CLI cannot execute at all (spawn
# ENOENT, non-executable binary, missing vendor payload). Deterministic,
# so fail-open is wrong: retrying never helps. Never cached — a reinstall
# fixes it and must be picked up on the very next probe (#2742).
# MODEL_PROBE_INCONCLUSIVE (exit 0) — timeout/transient; FAIL-OPEN so a
# slow network never wedges codex mode (the per-invocation Error
# Handling entry still covers a later 400). Never cached.
#
# Only call this AFTER _gstack_codex_auth_probe passes — probing without
# auth just measures the auth failure again.
