feat(codex): surface pre-turn projection accounting
Adds a `stats` block to the Codex context-engine projection so callers can distinguish LCM/frontier sizing from the rendered Codex prompt and from post-turn provider-observed usage. The block carries `projectedPromptChars`, `promptTokens`, an `accounting: "estimated" | "exact"` marker, the active `capChars`, and (when routed through) the configured compaction `reserveTokens` knob. The projection accepts an optional `tokenize` callback so a provider/runtime tokenizer can flip stats to `exact` when available; without one the existing 4-chars/token heuristic is used and accounting is explicitly marked `estimated`. The Codex app-server run-attempt now resolves `agents.defaults.compaction.reserveTokens` (falling back to `reserveTokensFloor`) and emits a `codex_app_server.context_projection` telemetry event alongside the existing post-turn usage signals. Closes #80765
