Zahan Malkani 5943d7acdf Persist timestamped realtime frames before acknowledging completion (#61473)
## What changed

- Record voice transcripts as `frame` items with a `voice_transcript` channel for eligible threads, while retaining legacy transcript support and the existing app-server live and mixed timeline representation.
- Assign first-observed timestamps that never move backward, retain them through completion, and restore the clock floor from history and compaction checkpoints.
- Flush realtime records before completion notifications, including file and initial directory durability barriers for local rollouts.
- Generate a distinct default session ID for each new call, use the call ID when attaching to an existing call, and derive opening record IDs from session IDs.
- Add protocol types for turn-input acceptance and session-end input receipts, excluding those receipts from live notifications and mixed timelines. Update generated schemas and SDK types.

## Testing

Add coverage for frame serialization and required voice payloads, clock rollback and checkpoint restoration, durability barrier failures and retries, per-call session IDs, and persisted transcript availability immediately after completion.

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.
