/**
* The default {@link CodexHome} provisioner (CB-528): builds a fresh, isolated {@code CODEX_HOME}
* for one Codex peer under a configurable root (default the JVM temp dir, mirroring how
* {@link OpenCodeLauncher} picks its config root).
*
* <p>Codex reads <em>everything</em> from {@code CODEX_HOME} — config, credentials, sessions,
* skills, plugins, state — so a peer must never be pointed at the operator's own {@code ~/.codex}.
* Provisioning therefore assembles, in one throwaway directory:
* <ul>
* <li>{@code config.toml} registering the bridge as a streamable-HTTP MCP server (with the
* profile's bearer-token env var, when one is configured);</li>
* <li>{@code AGENTS.md} carrying the reply charter — codex has no {@code --append-system-prompt},
* so the standing instruction has to reach the peer as a file;</li>
* <li>{@code auth.json} copied from the operator's real codex home, since a fresh home has no
* credential and codex then fails closed with an opaque {@code 401} mid-run.</li>
* </ul>
*
* <p>The credential is <em>copied</em>, never symlinked: a peer that could write through a symlink
* would be able to modify the operator's real {@code auth.json}. Each peer gets its own on-disk
* copy, so nothing outside the provisioned home is ever touched on write.
