feat(codex): let Codex sessions drive other sessions through the codeman skill

Measured on 1.47.0 with the same "spawn a shell worker, echo, read, delete"
task: DeepSeek Harness and OpenCode already pass end to end; Codex 0.162
failed three ways, fixed here.

- Start Codex 0.162+ with --no-daemon (new noDaemonFlag gate, fail-closed).
  The shared app-server daemon stopped every launch on an "incompatible
  feature settings" dialog when another version's daemon was running, and
  ran commands with another session's CODEMAN_* environment.
- Evaluate registry version gates against the gated CLI's own version
  (resolveSessionCliVersion) instead of claude's for every entry.
- Add the opt-in synced setting App Settings > Codex > Allow network access
  (codexNetworkAccess, default off): --config
  sandbox_workspace_write.network_access=true, filled as a launch default
  and clamped off for non-granted owners like the bypass switch.
- Skill: carry on with the curl path when `codeman` is not on PATH, re-run a
  sandbox-blocked call once through the CLI's approval path, name the new
  setting. Wiki and registry docs updated.

Two things to know:

**Allow network access** (App Settings, Codex) for a Codex session that should start and
drive others. It applies to Codex sessions started after you switch it on, and it keeps
Codex's sandbox and approval prompts. It opens the network only where Codex runs the
folder in its workspace-write sandbox, which is what Codex does for a project you
trusted. In a folder Codex runs read-only (a new case that is not a git repository, for
one), Codex asks you to approve each call to Codeman instead; `/permissions` in Codex
switches that session to workspace-write. **Bypass approvals and sandbox** works
everywhere, but removes the sandbox and the approval prompts.
- Codex 0.162 runs its commands in a shared background process, whose Codeman variables can
belong to the session that started it.
belong to the session that started it. Codeman starts Codex 0.162 and later with
`--no-daemon`, so each session runs its own; with an older Codex the skill notices and
says so instead of acting.
The skill checks for both and says so instead of acting.
OpenCode and DeepSeek Harness need nothing extra: in their default setup neither keeps its
shell commands off the network, so the skill works there as soon as it is injected.
