Dylan Hurd 8703d32bd0 Treat goal objectives as untrusted context (#60342)
## What changed

- Pass goal objectives as untrusted `goal_objective` context instead of embedding them in continuation instructions. Direct the model to use `get_goal` if the objective is missing or truncated.
- Inject newly created objectives into their originating active turn without dropping unrelated client context. Render them as tool outputs when `UntrustedAsToolOutput` is enabled.
- Queue additional context together with automatic turn input so both reach the first model request.

## Testing

Extend app-server coverage to verify that model-written objectives appear as tool outputs at creation and continuation, without duplicating them in user messages. Update steering and Python SDK tests to check objective preservation and delivery alongside continuation instructions.

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.
