Ahmed Ibrahim 1a4096e273 Add untrusted external messages to the Python SDK (#44086 )

## Why

Applications need to deliver content from other agents, tools, or services with tool-level authority, without treating it as user input or granting authorization.

## What changed

- Export `ExternalMessage` for sync and async `run(...)` and `turn(...)`, accepting text or structured content with a tool name and optional namespace. Send it through `toolOutput` and require CLI 0.151.0 or newer.
- Support starting a turn or joining an active regular turn while preserving external content as function output in history. Keep external messages separate from user-input lists and `steer(...)`.
- Give turn handles independent subscriptions, replaying completed items and latest usage to joining handles. Release consumed transient events and clean up subscriptions on closure, failure, or cancellation.
- Document the authority boundary and add sync and async examples.

## Testing

Add coverage for wire representations, input validation, runtime compatibility, tool authority across resume, active-turn joins, and tool-output truncation. Add subscription tests for replay, concurrent consumers, early completion, cancellation, and cleanup.

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.
