[WRONG BRANCH] fix(codex): single-flight prompt text probes to avoid concurrent subprocess floods

[luvs01]

Motivation

• Prevent overlapping Codex child processes and unbounded stdout buffers when the prompt panel is URL-addressable and mounted repeatedly.

Description

• Add a module-level single-flight slot activeProbe so concurrent calls to probePromptText share one in-flight process-backed probe rather than spawning independent children (src/codex/prompt-text-probe.ts).
• Refactor the probe entrypoint into performPromptTextProbe and make probePromptText wrap it to set/clear the activeProbe slot so the shared operation is cleared after success or failure (src/codex/prompt-text-probe.ts).
• Preserve existing per-child bounds: the probe remains time- and byte-bounded (MAX_PROBE_OUTPUT_BYTES and the timeout are unchanged).
• Add a regression test that asserts the single-flight admission and cleanup invariants (tests/codex-prompt-route.test.ts).

Testing

• Ran bun run typecheck and it passed.
• Ran focused GUI/management tests for the changed subsystem with bun scripts/test.ts tests/codex-prompt-route.test.ts tests/codex-prompt-text-probe.test.ts; the changed prompt-route and prompt-text-probe checks passed under the repository test runner (repo Bun v1.4.x).
• Observed that a host bun test invocation using an older Bun (1.2.14) reported an unrelated node:zlib missing export (zstdDecompressSync) preventing that specific run; this is environment-specific and unrelated to the change.
• Full test-run was exercised but exposed unrelated existing failures in the wider suite; the focused regression coverage for the probe behavior is green.

Test the single-flight behavior, not source substrings

This test never invokes concurrent probes; it only searches the implementation text and does not even assert the crucial activeProbe = probe assignment. Removing that assignment would restore one subprocess per caller while every expectation here still passes, so the reported regression is not actually guarded. Add a controllable spawn/probe seam, start simultaneous calls, assert one underlying invocation, and verify that a new invocation is allowed after settlement.
