agentHost: Show Codex enablement in settings search

Summary

Remove the advanced tag from chat.agentHost.codexAgent.enabled while keeping the setting experimental.

Why

The Settings editor excludes advanced settings from ordinary text searches in both Stable and Insiders. This made a codex search omit the enablement setting even though an exact @id: query could find it.

Validation


  • npm run transpile-client

  • Targeted Agent Host and Settings editor tests

  • Pre-commit hygiene
