Codex: memories in workspace write

From git show -1 --stat (commit f72ab43f):

• Adds memories control + config updates (6 files, 165 insertions).

Key diff excerpts:

• New clear_memory_root_contents refuses to clear symlinked memory root, then wipes files/dirs (codex-rs/core/src/memories/control.rs).
• Workspace-write sandbox now always includes memories root as a writable root; test ensures it’s included once (codex-rs/core/src/config/mod.rs).

Gemini CLI: MCP list_changed robustness

From PR #21050 + commit 352fb0c9:

• Registers list_changed notification handlers even if server capabilities omit listChanged (tools/resources/prompts).
• Adds “verification retry” (500ms) when discovery finds no changes after notification.
• Renames onToolsUpdated callback to onContextUpdated and triggers on resource/prompt/tool refresh.
