[Bug]: Codex harness accepts send_user_message_async but the UI drops the messages #9222

Before submitting

• I searched existing issues and did not find a duplicate.
• I included enough detail to reproduce or investigate the problem.

Area

apps/server

Steps to reproduce

1. Start a Codex thread through T3 Code's harness.
2. Have the agent call send_user_message_async with a visible test message.
3. Observe that the tool result reports { "accepted": true }.
4. Check the T3 Code thread UI for the asynchronous message.
5. Repeat the call with a second distinct message.

Expected behavior

Messages accepted through send_user_message_async should be delivered to and rendered in the active T3 Code thread. If this event type is unsupported, the harness should reject the call explicitly instead of returning accepted: true.

Actual behavior

Both tool calls returned { "accepted": true }, but neither message appeared in the T3 Code UI. The calls therefore look successful to the agent while the user receives nothing.

Impact

Major degradation or frequent failure

This silently breaks agent progress notifications and any workflow that relies on asynchronous user messages.

Version or commit

Current T3 Code environment as of 2026-09-02; exact commit unavailable.

Environment

macOS, T3 Code, Codex harness, gpt-5.6-sol

Logs or stack traces

send_user_message_async({"message":"This is a test message sent with send_user_message_async."})
=> {"accepted":true}

send_user_message_async({"message":"Here's the second test message from send_user_message_async."})
=> {"accepted":true}

Workaround

Return the message through the normal assistant commentary/final response stream.
