94fd2da830 Release: semantic fingerprint for the Codex catalog dependency (#7556) (#7558)
* fix(config): semantic fingerprint for the Codex catalog dependency (#7540)

* fix(#7556): guard the recursive codex-cache strip against RecursionError

Codex found a valid-but-deeply-nested models_cache.json crashes
_codex_models_cache_fingerprint with RecursionError (the recursive strip ran
outside the fallback try), 500ing /api/models. Move _strip_volatile_codex_cache_fields
inside the existing encode try/except so a transform failure degrades to the
stat-based fingerprint. +1 mutation-proven regression (forces the strip to raise;
fails with RecursionError if the guard is reverted).

* docs(changelog): stamp #7556 (semantic fingerprint for Codex catalog dependency)

"""Regression tests for issue #7540 — Codex models_cache.json churn must not
bust a valid /api/models catalog cache and force a live rebuild on session open.
Bug shape
---------
``_models_cache_source_fingerprint()`` covers the small local catalogs the
catalog depends on, including Codex's ``~/.codex/models_cache.json``, and
fingerprinted that file by ``mtime_ns`` + ``size``
(``_models_cache_file_fingerprint``, #2443). Codex rewrites that file on its
own refresh timer, and each rewrite bumps both stat fields even when the model
payload is byte-identical — only ``fetched_at`` / ``updated_at`` move. So:
Codex refresh -> fingerprint differs
-> ``_get_fresh_memory_models_cache()`` rejects the warm 24h snapshot
-> the session visit (#4756) then finds ``_is_loadable_disk_cache()``
rejecting the disk snapshot for the same reason
-> ``get_available_models(force_refresh=True)`` -> serial live provider
probes on the session-open path (the multi-second hang in the report).
Fix (maintainer recommendation on #7540: semantic fingerprint)
--------------------------------------------------------------
``_codex_models_cache_fingerprint()`` hashes the file's *content* with the
refresh-timestamp keys deny-listed, mirroring the auth.json fix
(``_auth_store_semantic_fingerprint``, RCA t_16551f61). Metadata churn is
invisible to the fingerprint, while anything that actually feeds the Codex
model list we merge still changes it.
These tests are INVARIANTS, not change-detectors:
* churn-immune — a ``fetched_at``-only rewrite keeps the
fingerprint identical, keeps a previously-valid
disk cache loadable, and keeps a session visit
served from memory (no live rebuild).
* real-change-invalidates — client_version / etag / models[] / an unknown
future field each flip the fingerprint AND reject
the previously-valid disk cache, so the fix cannot
over-stabilise into serving a stale catalog.
