Harden Codex unattended launch: apps connector, hook trust, flag order, alt-screen - #392

…r, alt-screen Four fixes to make Codex spawn reliably without an operator in the container: - `features.apps = false` in config.toml disables the built-in apps connector, which cannot start in a container and stalls every spawn on its 30 s MCP timeout. The `[mcp_servers.codex_apps] enabled = false` alternative is invalid config that crash-loops Codex — the feature flag is the only safe disable. - `--dangerously-bypass-hook-trust` added to launch_argv (first run and resume): since PR #387 wired Stop/UserPromptSubmit hooks into config.toml, Codex prompts interactively to trust each hook hash; with no operator this hangs indefinitely. - Bypass flags moved after the `resume` subcommand (`codex resume --last --flags`), matching the reference implementation's required argument order. - `--no-alt-screen` on every launch so Codex renders into tmux scrollback instead of the alternate screen, keeping `tmux attach` history accessible.
