Ahmed Ibrahim 3f74f00295 Prepare Python SDK 0.144.4 stable release (#33213)
## What changed

- Mark `openai-codex` as stable and align its versioned runtime dependency with Codex CLI `0.144.4`.
- Regenerate the Python protocol models and notification registry from that runtime, exposing the latest requests, responses, notifications, and schema fields.
- Keep `ReasoningEffort` and `ThreadSource` as enum-style APIs while accepting unknown future wire values, and omit `last_turn_id` from the flat `thread_fork` helper.

## Testing

- Cover stable SDK/runtime version matching, forward-compatible enum parsing, and generated client method signatures.

OpenAI Codex Python SDK

Build Python applications that start Codex threads, run turns, stream progress, and control workspace access.

Install

Install the SDK:

pip install openai-codex

Quickstart

The SDK reuses your existing Codex authentication when one is already available:

from openai_codex import Codex

with Codex() as codex:
    thread = codex.thread_start()
    result = thread.run("Explain this repository in three bullets.")
    print(result.final_response)

thread.run(...) returns a TurnResult containing the final response, collected items, and token usage.

Authentication

Existing Codex authentication is reused automatically. To start ChatGPT browser login explicitly:

from openai_codex import Codex

with Codex() as codex:
    login = codex.login_chatgpt()
    print(login.auth_url)
    print(login.wait().success)

For device-code login:

with Codex() as codex:
    login = codex.login_chatgpt_device_code()
    print(login.verification_url, login.user_code)
    login.wait()

For API-key login:

with Codex() as codex:
    codex.login_api_key("sk-...")

Built-In Help

Use Python's standard help(openai_codex), help(Codex), or python -m pydoc openai_codex documentation tools.
