alexsong-oai 064e701b0f Add explicit gateway OAuth sign-in to app-server (#47207)
## Why

Clients with a gateway sign-in UI need to control when browser authorization starts and inspect credential readiness before making authenticated requests.

## What changed

- Add `initialize.capabilities.explicitGatewayOauth` to require explicit login while allowing existing credentials to refresh. Preserve automatic authorization for clients that omit the capability, and prevent later connections from undoing explicit opt-in.
- Add `account/gatewayOAuth/read`, `account/gatewayOAuth/login`, and `account/gatewayOAuth/cancel`, plus `account/gatewayOAuth/changed` notifications. Send the authorization URL only to the initiating connection and cancel its login on disconnect.
- Check gateway authentication before returning cached results from `model/list`, with restart guidance when provider settings have changed.
- Update protocol schemas, TypeScript and Python bindings, and document capability probing and the sign-in lifecycle.

## Testing

Add tests for passive readiness reads, credential reuse after login, token exchange failures, cancellation and immediate retry, connection ownership, legacy versus explicit login, and model-list authentication checks.

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-...")
