+/**
+ * Issue #45 / c4529042182 — recover the project-cwd from a Codex CLI
+ * session log when the spawned MCP child inherits a non-project cwd
+ * (e.g. $HOME when Codex was launched from anywhere outside the project).
+ *
+ * Codex writes its session transcripts to either
+ * `${CODEX_HOME ?? ~/.codex}/sessions/<uuid>.jsonl` (CLI) or a dated desktop
+ * layout such as
+ * `${CODEX_HOME ?? ~/.codex}/sessions/YYYY/MM/DD/rollout-*.jsonl`.
+ * The cwd appears on `meta.cwd` for the CLI shape and on
+ * `payload.cwd` in `type: "session_meta"` records for Codex Desktop. Codex
+ * publishes NO workspace env var to its child MCP processes — so unlike
+ * Claude/Pi/Cursor, we have no env signal at all. The session log is the
+ * strongest available signal.
+ *
+ * Mirror of `resolveProjectDirFromTranscript` for Claude Code; differences:
+ *   • Sessions may live flat or in a dated hierarchy (no per-project encoded
+ *     subdir like Claude's `~/.claude/projects/<encoded>/`).
+ *   • The cwd is nested on `meta.cwd` or `payload.cwd`, not top-level `cwd`.
+ *
+ * Returns `null` when:
+ *   • `codexHome` or its `sessions/` subdir does not exist.
+ *   • No `.jsonl` files exist or none has a parseable cwd string.
+ *   • The newest log is older than `transcriptMaxAgeMs` (multi-window guard).
+ *   • The resolved cwd points at a plugin install path (poisoned).

+ *      most reliable signal when Claude Code launched MCP from a non-project
+ *      cwd (desktop-app launch, `/ctx-upgrade` respawn, etc.).
+ *   3. `process.env.PWD` — shell-set, NOT updated by `process.chdir()`, so
+ *      it survives the `start.mjs` chdir into the plugin dir. Skipped if
+ *      it too points at a plugin install path.
+ *   4. `cwd` — last resort. Returned even if it is a plugin path; the
+ *      caller is responsible for rendering a graceful "no project context"
+ *      message rather than panicking. Keeping the function total preserves
+ *      operation of project-independent tools (sandbox execute, fetch).
