Warn when CODEX_HOME is full; avoid silent loss of session history

Feature request / bug report
Codex should detect when the CODEX_HOME area is full and warn the user instead of continuing silently and losing session history.
Problem
When the CODEX_HOME filesystem fills up, Codex appears to keep working but does not record new session data. This leads to:
- loss of resume capability for new sessions
- existing sessions missing new conversation history
- no visible warning/error to indicate persistence is failing
Expected behavior
- Detect low/zero disk space (or write failures) in CODEX_HOME
- Surface a clear warning/error when session persistence fails
- Avoid silent data loss; optionally pause or degrade gracefully
Acceptance criteria
- Codex detects and reports write failures to CODEX_HOME
- User receives a clear notification with remediation guidance
- Session history is not silently dropped
