Copy the PR-specific Codex output.

When PR_NUM is set, Run Codex writes codex-output-${PR_NUM}.md. This condition checks only codex-output.md, so the error-diagnostics artifact omits the output for every PR-numbered Codex failure. Iterate over codex-output*.md or derive the same filename used by OUTPUT_FILE.

Proposed fix 
-          if [ -f "codex-output.md" ]; then
-            cp codex-output.md "$DIAG_DIR"/
-          fi
+          for f in codex-output*.md; do
+            if [ -f "$f" ]; then
+              cp "$f" "$DIAG_DIR"/
+              break
+            fi
+          done

Verify the diagnostics producer path, not only the upload path.

This guard parses actions/upload-artifact paths but does not inspect the workflow's DIAG_DIR assignment. A future workflow could write error-diagnostics/ in the checkout and upload ${{ runner.temp }}/error-diagnostics/; this test would pass while git add -A could commit the local file. Add an assertion for each registered runner that diagnostics are created under ${RUNNER_TEMP:-/tmp}/error-diagnostics.

As per path instructions, changed Python behavior must have accompanying test coverage.

In `@tests/workflows/test_runner_artifacts_stay_out_of_the_checkout.py` around
lines 61 - 70, Extend the test for each registered runner to inspect its
diagnostics-directory assignment, not just the actions/upload-artifact path.
Assert that DIAG_DIR resolves under ${RUNNER_TEMP:-/tmp}/error-diagnostics, and
retain coverage ensuring the upload path uses that safe location.
