Replace codex --full-auto with --sandbox workspace-write and enable --approve-for-me

Upgrade to Codex rust-v0.147.0, migrate off removed --full-auto, turn on --approve-for-me, and adopt portable Agent Plugins plus Cursor skill import for shared agent workflows.

Why this loop

rust-v0.147.0 removes `codex exec --full-auto`, so any scripts still using it will break; the supported path is `--sandbox workspace-write`. The same release adds `--approve-for-me` for automatically reviewed approvals, portable Agent Plugins searchable across local/personal/workspace/remote catalogs, and import/sync for Cursor-managed skills and Claude/Cursor conversations without duplicates. Adopting these together unblocks CI, speeds routine local runs, and standardizes reusable agent capabilities across the team while picking up secret-redaction and stricter local-project trust behavior.

Proposed actions

  1. Upgrade OpenAI Codex CLI to rust-v0.147.0 (rust-v0.147.0) and search the repo/CI for `codex exec --full-auto`; replace every occurrence with `codex exec --sandbox workspace-write`.
  2. For trusted local iterative work, rerun your usual Codex command with `--approve-for-me` so approvals are automatically reviewed instead of stopping for manual confirmation.
  3. In Codex, search the local, personal, workspace, and remote Agent Plugin catalogs and install the portable plugins your project needs into the workspace catalog for shared use.
  4. Import Cursor-managed skills into Codex, then synchronize any already-imported Claude and Cursor conversations so updates apply without creating duplicate threads.
  5. Split long Codex sessions into persistent, manually ordered conversation sections and browse long transcripts incrementally instead of reloading the full history.

## Why it matters
rust-v0.147.0 removes `codex exec --full-auto`, so any scripts still using it will break; the supported path is `--sandbox workspace-write`. The same release adds `--approve-for-me` for automatically reviewed approvals, portable Agent Plugins searchable across local/personal/workspace/remote catalogs, and import/sync for Cursor-managed skills and Claude/Cursor conversations without duplicates. Adopting these together unblocks CI, speeds routine local runs, and standardizes reusable agent capabilities across the team while picking up secret-redaction and stricter local-project trust behavior.

## Suggested actions
